DigitalTraveler42@lemm.eeto Betterment and Praxis@beehaw.org•Alternatives to calling the police5·2 years agoThis topic specifically is how many of the well known gangs of Chicago and LA were formed, like the Crips originally being formed to eliminate gangs to become a neighborhood watch, or the Latin Kings forming to combat racist acts of violence and depredation, there are a lot of similar instances over the decades (maybe even centuries) but ultimately a legitimized citizens militia or neighborhood watch that can react to circumstances would probably be a good alternative, but we all know what happened when the Black Panthers tried to fill this niche.
Edit: I also left out the Guardian Angels, which still exist as a organization, used to see them all the time growing up in NYC during the 80’s, but they have their faillings as an organization as well.

DigitalTraveler42@lemm.eeto World News@beehaw.org•Microfinance was meant to help the world’s poor, but in Cambodia, it’s plunging people deeper into debt18·2 years agoThe “gig” economy was only ever really set up to exploit the poor and desperate, but at the same time these people need those incomes or those second jobs doing stuff like Uber and door dash and other micro-economy jobs.
It’s really tough to be poor, uneducated, and untrained in modern society because you just get crushed by forces so far beyond your control and you are so far below those forces notice that they hardly care beyond their desires to exploit you.
Not enough Djent!
