Yes, the world works on authority and good manners. Tough to be you, Pogo, innit.Supposed to work? Where could I find this supposition? Where did it come from?Thank heavens for the officers.
Parents, tell your children that if they are fucking off and the cop says stop, and they ignore him, he will do a laying on of hands. Capiche?
That ain't the way the world's supposed to work. That's Authoritaristan. To hell with that place.
The world works just fine. And is pretty much indifferent to the emotional responses of its denizens. Expectation is the problem here...
The world doesn't work by "do as I say or I'll kick your ass". That's never worked in any kind of productive way at all. It's authoritarian horseshit.
"Authority" is just fine. It's needed. "Picking people up and slamming them around" ----- not so much. That's not so much "good manners" as "subhuman". What do you suppose it teaches the kid on the receiving end (who btw was injured in that assault)?
-- it teaches him that the way to address the world is by aggression, that's what. Violence perpetuates violence. Ask any spouse or child abuser about his own past.
