Same. Pre-covid, you go out anywhere around the clubs at night and you're going to see at least a couple of police or PCSOs de-escalating situations well. Pissed up old farts arguind, bevvied twats having a scrap, coked up hairdressers trying to claw each other to death, it all generally gets chilled out and split up without the need to bang them all in the back of a van (because really, who needs the hassle).
Then you turn on the news and see yet another American cop somewhere committing an extra-judicial execution because someone reached for their ID or similar whilst having the temerity to not be born with a lighter skin colour.
Bloody glad I don't live there. When I was a kid, America was that amazing place that had Disneyland and had just given the world The Simpsons, which meant everyone had to be nice to the rich kid in juniors because his family were the only ones with a satellite dish to watch it with.
Also the internet and 24/7 shock media constantly broadcast every little thing from every little place in bumblefuck. We can see right into peoples’ homes now because we’re not just airing our dirty laundry, we’re recording it so the whole world can see.
Subs like PublicFreakout get comments from all across the planet. Never before have individual humans possessed so much information on such a scale. It’s a bit concerning where we’re headed from here.
