The MiB aren't violating human rights because the people they violate are not human.

It's fucked up, but it technically would be legal probably.

Edit: Wait. Neuralizers. Nvm. They do violate human rights.

I don't recall any rights about not having my memory wiped. Wait a sec...

on top of that, they straight up shoot and torture aliens with impunity, no oversight.

and given that many of those aliens become citizens, they still trample over their civil rights.

I dont think that's a fair comparison.

MIB let's extraterrestrials stay all the time, the only ones they try to exclude or eliminate are the ones that try to kill or enslave humans, or are evil in nature.

They do limit free movement though. Like the guy they pull over whose wife is going into space-labor was pulled over for leaving the city.

Wasn't that more because the shuttle was not documented

I.e. starting a large aircraft through commercial flying hight without clearance possible causing fatal accidents

Is Batman included in ACAB?

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, at least for the basic reason that he is an "ideal hero" for the corrupt fucks.

Completely cripple hundreds of goons who may or may not have any desire to actually help the mastermind? Totally fine!

Kill the actual mastermind that's actually, directly and openly responsible for most of the terrible shit? Oh no, I'm having a moral conniption! Maybe use his billions to do actual charity work that could change millions of lives? Nope!! Must keep up the playboi image and spend it all trying to be the one hero.

Dude's a perfect example of good ignorant people doing fuck-all to actually solve problems.

if you can afford to wear a tacticool fursuit to beat people up, you can afford to pay taxes which will actually help eliminate poverty and end crime.

(i know the canonical answer is that there's evil organisations that make public spending to help people irrelevant)

But Bruce Wayne has Bill Gates to Jeff Bezos level of wealth (including highly profitable enterprises) and owns a newspaper. He could play their game, start lobbying, get the propaganda rolling etc.
And he could do that and be batman.

usually yes,

unless it's one of those versions where he's anti cop because they are all corrupt, in which case maybe.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

He's usually always anti cop, except for Gorden. There seems to be a short time when he's older and routed the corruption that he works with them, but then he gets even older and he's anti cop agian.

I mean CIA and FBI probably have fucked up America more than cops tbh. They probably just had more funds to hide it.

It's all the same game from the streets to the feds. It's just different families. #mafia

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

The CIA fucked the entire world more than all the cops put together and it's not even close. And they are not even that good at hiding it.

International intelligence agencies are like a having a bunch of police departments all competing with each other for universal jurisdiction, if some of the cops were on everyone's payroll.

great movie, still copaganda
