My two thoughts on this:

1. If I ask people for a million dollars to higher cops they'll give it to me easy, if I ask for 100k to reduce crime through community outreach - it's a huge fight

2. That experiment where a class needs to unanimously agree to all recieve 98% final grade but 30% of them absolutely refuse to give themselves a leg up if that also means someone else gets it and they didn't work as hard.

Yes, but no one can get fabulously rich off this.

There's truth in that to a degree. But so long as mass media can stir the pot and create public anxiety where none existed before, even a strong egalitarian economic model is insufficient to deter interpersonal violence.

Americans bombarded by "Shoplifter Alert!" and "Murder Spree!" and "Rape Gangs Terrorizing Your Neighborhood!" news coverage are going to be deeply suspicious of anyone they don't recognize (and more than a few they do recognize). People will lash out in fits of paranoia and induced terror, then claim self-defense against their victims. And if we've instilled a legitimacy to this fear in the general public, they'll get away with it.

Yeah, but by doing all that you are oppressing the oppression which the lack of those very things makes so much easier, do you ever think about that??
No, you don't, because you only think of your face and never how the boot on it feels.

the public housing part is like one bad decision from a workhouse, but otherwise yeah

Yes. I don't remember the name of the civilization, but there was an entirely "peaceful" society that existed for several hundred years, until Christopher Columbus showed up, and raped and murdered them all.
