Bringing armed troops into the tourist areas of DC (for maximum visibility purposes), is just shuffling crime to the less-reported areas. Meanwhile being replaced by increased police chases ending in crashes, kidnappings, complete lack of due process, law enforcement violence, etc.

Okay, but we’re currently IN capitalism/fascism. So eliminating jobs does what to help combat that? Look, I’m all for reducing the labor burden on society, but…again, not happening.

I’m just trying to follow your line of thinking, which seems to be extremely backwards. Let’s try another angle. THIS is not “fighting fascism.” Or good for anyone. Agree or disagree?
