What I notice is that nuance is very hard for people. Yeah sure, life is often hard for these people and it’s understandable that they become thugs in many instances. On the other hand, they bring pain, death and fear to society. And the police should be able to fight them.
I see this swinging around with a lack of nuance and society becoming overly harsh to black people and criminals.
It is already happening. We have way too many laws on the books, and they are being enforced way too viciously. 25% of the White men in my generation have already been arrested, and that figure was released a while back when I was a young man. Since then, a few of us have wracked up our first arrest.
Many to most of my White male friends have been arrested, and I grew up in a nice, White, middle class neighborhood. Most were arrested for drug crimes, DUI’s, domestic disputes, and fistfights and other altercations. I knew a few people who deserved to go down. They were heroin and cocaine addicts and did things like crashing cars into jewelry stores to burglarize them, burglarizing businesses, etc.
Most of the domestic disputes and altercations should not have been a police matter. They should have been handled civilly. Men went down on the domestic disputes and fistfights due to Female Rule and the fact that we live under a Matriarchy.
According to female thinking, when there is an altercation between men, “everyone involved needs to go to jail.” Under Male Rule, men used to have this idea of a “fair fight.” When I was growing up, the police officer across the street told me that there was such a thing as “fighting words.” If a man said certain things to you, you had a right to hit him back, once. The police would refuse to get involved, as it was considered a matter of understandable reaction, provocation and honor. Male Rule believes in nuance and “the spirit, not the letter of the law.” Female thinking believes in “the letter, not the spirit of the law.” Female Rule rejects nuance because women don’t believe in it.
Domestic disturbances were often better handled under Male Rule. Under Male Rule, the police were often reluctant to get involved in civil disputes about which they knew nothing. Once again, understandable provocation, honor and fighting words come into play. But females do not believe in things like understandable provocation, honor and fighting rules. Females believe in “all’s fair in love and war, except for the man, who goes to jail even if he hits back in self-defense.” Hence under Female Rule, many men are being arrested for disputes that were previously considered to be not a law enforcement matter.
My Mom said that 25% figure is way too high. Way higher than it was in her generation. She said in her generation, with the crowd she grew up with, it was almost unheard of for any man to be arrested ever for anything.
Are we Generation Thug? I don’t think so. The law gets involved in so many things that should be settled civilly. We should probably get rid of half the laws on the books and reduce enforcement of a lot of the rest. This is getting ridiculous. And a lot of this is directly is due to women passing laws that reflect female thinking.
