What has been confiscated from schools is the ability to avoid shitfights with racists (and useful idiots just asking questions). Now there is no legislative basis for schools to give effect to the Treaty, we can expect bad actors to start challenging a whole variety of existing practices. 2/

Honestly this feels like a crude attempt to scare off other people who might want to complain about police misconduct (and I'd imagine there's a lot of abuse out there).
"We'll go out of our way to ruin your life if you complain, so just shut up and take the abuse"...

I think it’s a primary feature. Think a lot about politics and aesthetics, the embodiment and spectacle of authoritarian power
It's great to witness Trump's times because you see the emperor has no clothes. The dictator is a clown, & he's not smart. But he still maintains power. Many of history's great conquerors may have been just as buffoonish.

The power imbalance caused by the age difference in the relationship should've been enough for Andrew Coster to dig deeper. The threshold for investigating further is too low.
Why are workplace affairs being normalised?
Why is the woman so quickly protrayed as vengeful & her allegations ignored?
