@pastry_enthus@HaroldOWessex@IfindRetards All of these questions miss the main point. Regardless of your definition of "authority", the ones exercising law enforcement do not do their jobs well and the politicians do not enact laws that 1. protect its citizens properly and 2. are in line with ppl's sense of justice
@pastry_enthus@HaroldOWessex@IfindRetards It happens when the authorities stop doing there work and people do not have trust in them anymore. Happens to systems on the verge of collapse. It is not "wrong", it is a symptom and it is inevitable.
@ecidgedh@IfindRetards Okay let me ask you this: would you assume a crowd is unjustly beating up someone in front of a school compared to in an alley? For what reason would a crowd beat up someone in front of crèche?
@ecidgedh@IfindRetards And I'm saying it is highly unlikely that they didn't do it precisely because he's a migrant. Mainly because of bystander effect. Two women would not put themselves between an angry crowd and a regular guy unless they have very strong moral incentives to do so which is antiracism
@ecidgedh@IfindRetards Are you saying when seeing some fella getting kicked around they turn off all else input in their brains? They did not notice the fella being a migrant and did not think anything of the fact that a migrant is being kicked by a crowd? Usually "bystandard effect" is stronger.
@ecidgedh@IfindRetards We all constantly operate on assumptions as it is impossible to be aware of the full picture about everything all the time. That is not the problem. The problem is constantly arriving at wrong conclusions and keep wrong assumptions despite prior evidence to the contrary.
@ecidgedh@IfindRetards The problem is that they assumed they were kicking the guy because of racism. They are most likely aware of the atrocities migrants have been doing and yet still assumed the migrant was innocent and the crowd beating him up were racists.
