the only reason we know gang violence is related to race is because we compiled statistics for it, before that we only had intuition
I know, I get it
I just didn't consider all scenarios
obviously the usefulness for any amount of profiling has be known to law enforcement for a long time though which is why profiling and compiling statistics is a very old method of investigation
at this point we just record everything we imagine to be useful
if a white person is killed with a note left "death to white people" and the body is found in a minority dominate area, does it make sense to look at white people first?
well
i mean, if you find out the deceased knew an SJW who was white thats a bit different
but
i think hate crimes against white people while not new have the potental to have new cercomstances that might change how they are profiled
or not, certainly 10 years ago youd be looking for anyone but a white person
yeah
now when there is a supposed hate crime, you need to look at the group it was commited against first
given the number of hoax hate crimes
Democratic socialism is different from social democracy, right? From my understanding, one is about replacing capitalism, and the other is about reforming it.
lets face it, both are about replacing it
the only change is
"We're TAKING your money for others"
Is changed to
"We're GIVING your money to others"
yea
DSA is anti capitalist
wants to give means of production to workers
Are they against private property, for instance?
can't speak for the DSA, cuz i haven't looked into them
but any democratic socialist, or social democrat
Eventually ends up with wanting to redistribute means of production, which ends up negating private property
social democrat is like scandinavia
they want a capitalistic welfare state
remove the qualifiers
Social democrat is a certain kind of democrat
Democratic socialist is a certian kind of socialist
Democratic socialist is just below the center line to the far left
authoritarian socialist is top left
I can agree with that discription, although i will say that the social democrats are a slippery slope
in Europe for example, the labor parties are often "social democrats" and in order to buy votes they wanna increase the welfare state,
Which is a slope that slowly starts claiming more, until people just pay the majority they earn into taxes
and Norway i believe pays its welfare state with state oil
Seems to me using these terms interchangeably is a bad idea.
they aren't the same,
Socialists (Democratic Socialists) wanna abolish capitalism all together,
Social Democrat want to have capitalism, but with high taxes to fund for public services
The issue with Social Democrats though is that they slowly keep wanting more public services, which leads to more taxes,
So in the end, instead of distributing the means of production, you just distribute the produce, having the same end result
as an extra example:
Under socialism, the poorest get free healthcare, so you can see a doctor.
Under social democracy, the poorest get subsidiaries, so they can pay for a doctor.
its not a literal example, but it gives you an idea of the end-goal difference
Social democracy is Sargon
Democratic socialism is Jeremy Corbin
