OP: [proposes alternatives]

You: "So you're basically suggesting Mad Max"

Well, what are you doing right now? Feel free to organize your own DIY law enforcement. But doing social media is so much easier isn't it? That's EXACTLY why OP's proposed alternative isn't practical. That's not a criticism against you or anyone else here, it's just facing the truth. We could make OP's vision a reality, but we won't. Getting off your ass and doing it would prove me wrong, but a downvote just proves me right.

"You are using social media" isn't the gotcha you think it is. I'm literally taking a dump at work right now.

Either a reply or a downvote proves you wrong.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Okay, but at some point you won't be working or taking a dump, so you'll be organizing that whole law enforcement thing and we don't need cops, right? Good for you! Let me know how it works out!

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes? I can't emphasize enough how much this isn't a gotcha. No offense but I won't remember you for that long.

My point is that people could be doing the DIY law enforcement thing right now, and they aren't. Reality speaks for itself. So either get off your ass and do it or STFU. What are you, 13? Blocking you dude.

Well now I'm sad he'll never hear that people are, in fact, doing the things OP listed.
