Deism isn’t a religion

i like to think that any sentence using chad as an adjective is supposed to be ironic in some way
deism is a belief that people of other religions can believe in or some shit apparently
False.
nah, deism is light-weight enlightenment drivel
it actually removes the useful parts of religion, and leaves them with what?
it was the 18th century version of atheist
when that was too controversial to say

@Jay1532 You are exactly right!

@everyone Daily Question 🔖
Should positive rights such as a right to protection by police exist?
Yes
that's like one of the only things I expect of the state
I mean, arguably not "protection by police", as the institution of the police should be replaced with more community oriented groups
but
People are failing to understand the ramifications of a positive right like that though
The right to housing, the right to healthcare, etc
maybe I worded it badly
yes, that spooky idea that things will need to be provided
Police in the USA have no obligation to protect you
Also, I'm not even an anarchist, this name is just intentionally edgy
Police in the USA only punish crime
they don't stop it
or prevent it
I mean
that's not their job
there shouldn't be "preventative arrests"
Prevention is one aspect of punishment
Like if they see someone actively committing a crime
that just leads to the potential of arresting anyone for any reason
and is hella authoritarian
so
but they don't have any obligation to protect you
if you look it up
they do, though
