The Garda Síochána are not much better let's be honest. They all sing from a similar ultra left hymn-book.

You are sadly right. And the worst part is, it’s not just the Gardaí. The judges, the media and the politicians also don’t care about stopping actual crime.

In Ireland and in the U.K., most of the upper management in police stations were never on-the-beat police officers to begin with. A lot of them got those positions with nothing but a useless college degree like gender studies. Only people who used to be cops and who were good at their jobs should get promoted to management. And the police should be allowed to carry weapons so they can go after dangerous criminals.

Stopping actual crime is hard though..............Fighting mean words online not so much. It is easy meat.

The judicery is a joke.

The judiciary is a joke

I’m not sure if the penal system of countries like the U.K., Ireland and America are incompetent or outright malicious. But I’m leaning towards them being malicious.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" - You seem to have invoked something akin to Hanlon's razor.

I am not sure which of the two is more a truth tbqh. I feel like I would prefer to side with incompetence. We might just have a chance then. We can do something with incompetence. Malice however is a lot more frightening. Hard to oust competent nasty cunts.

A malicious government can still be restrained by a well-informed population who continuously ring up their elected representatives. A politician is less likely to do a terrible thing if he or she knows he or she will lose his or her seat in the next election for this.
