Since this is hubski, I’ll ask “why do you unilaterally hate the police,” instead of commenting that this is a vapid extrapolation of the generally accepted noun, “police” (as in cops) compared to what happens all around us every day, which includes societal corrections that could be termed “policing” but really just serve to align people to a general accepted norm; aka, a lot of behaviors that are diagnosably considered unhealthy (deliberately injuring oneself; deliberately failing to properly take care of oneself) are generally managed through social “policing.” In other words, the societal management of behavior expectations is not unilaterally harmful and it is, at best, immature to view such corrective actions in that light.

Your response to the idea of any kind of pseudo-collective authority implies massive issues with such :) have you heard of NIMBYism?
