It’s a shame you’re getting down voted, seemingly just for admitting on the Internet that you used to be a cop and not on the merits of your comment. Regardless of the sentiment people feel towards the police, it doesn’t change the fact that exceedingly few people would actually confront someone in real life like that, whether they are a cop, a healthcare CEO, or an AI bro.
Such people willing to make conflict in real life do exist, but they’re few and far between. This is a well-studied phenomenon…
There’s a big difference between the ideal democracy and the bastardization of a democratic process we have in America, much like how Marx’s vision of communism is hugely different from any actual communist implementation. I personally don’t believe that any one governing/socioeconomic system taken in a vacuum is the right answer, they all seem to rely on humans being fundamentally good-natured but it just isn’t true for much of the humans attracted to positions of power.
