Because humans are assholes as for now. Not all of course, but there is a critical mass that manages to piss into the well. But at least you are starting to give the context that was missing when you said "abolish contracts"

If there are no contracts violations of agreements have no definite basis and therefore can't be legally (ideally fairly) persecuted. If you make a deal that someone paints your wall and in return you fix their car and then after they painted your wall you decide to just not fix their car, then what? That person could punch you in the face & make no deals with you anymore and that's it. Stone age. Or you two have a written document with your agreement black on white and bring it to the court who will ideally make a fair decision on how to proceed. It has a lot to do with violence. Courts aren't unrelated to contracts in that they decide on how to proceed when there is a disagreement in a case where there is a contract. As for enforcement, that's the executive branch's task, not the judicial branch's.

I agree that often lawyers use a language a lot of people don't understand even when it's not necessary and make it inaccessible for regular folks so they have to depend on lawyers at court or not understand or even read their working contracts. But contracts are more than working contracts. They are everywhere in society and I'm not even talking about unwritten social contracts. It's a way to legally come to an agreement that you can, if any terms of the agreement are broken, bring to court and have it sorted out by legal professionals, which is an achievement of modernity and makes a lot of things easier.

Yeah, FOX News tends to over-saturate the good guys (Trump supporters) and under-saturate the bad guys (non-Trump supporters). Subliminal messaging man

ILL SHIT N CUM ON YOUR BEHALF

There is a Latin/Romanic Europe (also a Germanic and Slavic Europe, even a Finno-Ugric one) if you look at it from a language perspective. Don't forget the descendants of African slaves the Spanish and Portuguese brought to South America. They even brought some of their religions and mixed them with Christianity and local religions, so didn't only leave a genetical mark but also a cultural one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Latin_Americans

Both the Soviet occupation zone (East) and the French/British/American occupation zone (West) did denazification programs. The East did that for a shorter period of time but more harshly while the West did that over a longer period of time. The East understood itself as per definition antifascist ("antifascist wall") and therefore didn't really reflect upon the Nazi time much. In fact, the USSR for a short time continued to use some of the Nazi concentration camp facilities as labour camps for political dissidents until the early 50s. There was a Neonazi and a Punk subculture in East Germany, but the Punks were persecuted more because "the Nazis at least show up on time at work" (that was the mindset) and the churches (also political opposition) fulfilled the role of giving asylum to Punks and other non-conformists. It was a society extremely streamlined towards conformity with constant Stasi surveillance. In that way the East did more of a reset (in a bad way) because it was less of a continuation of the more liberal pre-Nazi Weimar Republic. The Bonn Republic (West) took the denazification efforts more seriously. The problem is that a lot of people were Nazis, sometimes educated people that were needed to rebuild the country. It made the process difficult because the whole country's elite had to either leave the country, go underground or commit itself to the Nazis during the Hitler time, so the denazification had to go deep into the structures of society and required individual case studies, a tedious and difficult process. There still are a lot of Nazis that are in direct lineage and tradition to the Hitler Nazis. The rise of the AfD shows this, one of their leaders is the grand daughter of Hitler's finance minister, etc. Some also sit in Merkel's party, especially in the East German part of the christian-conservative party. I'm not sure though in how far you can compare national socialism with colonialism and slavery. There surely are parallels but it's not quite the same. Still, it needs to be talked about. Here, National Socialism is about 50% of history class at school As for the police, I'm not sure. I think a lot of racial profiling is done here. In certain areas this might - I'm saying this very carefully - actually make sense to an extend in that Arabic clans actually cause some trouble, which doesn't really help making policemen less racist. Police even has to be taught MMA now because clans use martial arts a lot. And some people just look like criminals, not just because of their skin colour but also because of the way they dress and their mannerisms, and lots of them look like they have a non-European background. So the police will naturally focus on them. Phenotype does factor in. An example is a term from police jargon: "Nafri", for North African offenders that caused some controversy. Also the New Year's Eve incident of 2015 didn't really help to build trust, either. Integration is a constant struggle here because there are obvious cultural incompatibilities between liberal Western culture and cultures that have a reactionary attitude towards women (of course saying this without trying to generalise). We have the great majority of normal harmless immigrants, a (large) minority of criminal immigrants (which is more a class problem than a culture problem usually), a majority of halfway reasonable liberal-conservative and social democrat non-immigrants and a very loud minority of right-wing nutjobs that agitate against muslims and promote nationalist self-glorification, a movement that unfortunately takes place inside the police, too. It's not easy. Antisemitism isn't really wide spread here anymore, though, and frowned upon in most bubbles, but unfortunately seems to get a revival, too, along with the general global right shift and alt-right movement, resulting in attacks on synagogues. But one thing is sure, policemen are a breed of their own and definitely, at least statistically, have a tendency to be in conservative and right-wing parties. They often have a group think mindset that can under certain circumstances lead to racism. Since Germany didn't really have that many slaves there are virtually no descendants of slaves suffering from transgenerational trauma. But then there was the genocide against the Herero where German colonialists harvested bones from African men to use for pseudo-science at universities, basically to prove the inferiority of black people, which isn't really discussed in schools at all, which is a problem. National socialism overshadows the other aspects of the country's atrocious past. I wonder how places with an even more intense history of colonialism and slavery like France or the Netherlands deal with this issue and how it differs from the US.

Yes, it's missing the point to solely blame the police as an institution for post-colonial racism. It's something that should begin in schools. Kids should be reminded of the atrocities of the past more, of the colonial history but also of the various genocides American and Canadian settlers committed against the indigenous people that lived on that continent and how all of this reflects on the present. Germany in that regard was so lucky to lose the war and therefore was politically/systemically reset which made a reflection of its terrible past possible, for the US with a more continuous history and no revolutionary changes in its political system this is a more difficult task. These protests are definitely a good start and made a lot of people think about racism.

He isn't wrong tho

This is amazing

What an atrocious false flag attack, truly despicable

Conservatives conserve

Yet

India is in no position to become a world superpower (plus they’re in direct conflict with China), their economy is in a terrible state, and if Muslims think they have it bad with the US leading the way, just wait until India says “hold my beer”. The EU would be an interesting choice, but the UK won’t be down for European leadership. The balance of power right now is not terrible, although it would be nice if the US could get back to promoting free trade and diplomacy as primary exports instead of nationalism and idiocy. True. My point is, even if the US became completely obsolete and insignificant (which is pretty unrealistic in the medium term) , there still would be alternatives to Chinese world domination. Actually it would be good if the rest of the Western alliance finally started to organize their security matters in a less US dependent way completely free trade sucks doe, I like my trade regulated
