    Police have a duty to enforce the law, and when they ignore other officers breaking the law they are failing their duty to society. Do you think ML users have a duty to control what other ML users post? That’s the mods/admins job, regular users don’t have any special privileges on Lemmy.

      they’re more similar than you admit.

      police are a group of individuals that promote fascist ideologies and don’t follow laws.

      the ML community is a group of individuals that promote fascist ideologies and don’t follow rules.

      police have a vested interest in protecting the peace provided by the oligarchy.

      ML have a vested interest in ensuring the status quo of power remains in the hands of the oligarchy by dividing the left and ensuring chaos keeps them busy.

      besides, a sense of duty is not a requirement of becoming a LEO, nor is it required to become a ML user.

        I’m not talking about a “sense of duty,” I’m talking about actual responsibility. Lemmy users don’t have a high level of responsibility for the server they use. Admins and mods do.

          it’s completely irrelevant about their “duty” because “duty” as a sense of responsibility is a fictitious construct our government uses to instill a sense of fear that empowers their lackeys and forces compliance by the public.

          there’s literally nothing stopping LEOs from breaking the laws they are supposed to protect. in-fact, their idea of keeping themselves in check is to self-regulate through internal affairs. a division, just to remind you, that sits inside the police force and determines culpability.

          need I say more?

          so, if we take into account that police are self-regulating then I suppose that makes the ML community worse than LEOs.

            I’m sorry, I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.
