Law and order is a dam consisting of many bricks. Remove them one by one, and you open the floodgates of chaos.
Looking back to the lowlights of 2021, one viral video pretty well summed up the depths of depravity reached by our masked society.
The video depicted a man punching a woman on a crowded New York subway. Many conservative commentators quickly took to their cameras and keyboards to point out that the crowd of bystanders was unfazed, even by New York standards. So why did no one step in to defend this woman, dishing out swift “street justice” in the name of chivalry?
Viewer feedback to this argument showed that the average clued in American is more ahead of the curve than many commentators. Things aren’t the same as they used to be, and because of the racial angle in this particular instance, stepping in to subdue a violent thug on a subway is liable to backfire against you.
Some cops might see you as the bad guy, and the county prosecutor could side with the thug, especially if in your rage you let the wrong word slip out, which 20 people captured on their cell phones. So now you don’t get lauded as a hero for risking life and limb to defend an assaulted woman. Instead, you get demonized.
Stuffy Sunday school attendees are often too naïve to accurately assess the moment they live in, in which the guiding rule should be that the old rules may no longer apply. The ancient world was clear on this. However, when a civilization reaches the dark age — weak leadership, corrupt institutions, chaos in society, and disorder in the family — the rules are irrelevant. They don’t work, and following them might even get you in trouble.

Yurii’s talk with Pogorevshikh on the train to Moscow...
Part 2, chapter 5: 16
Imperturbable as an oracle, he prophesied disastrous
upheavals in the near future. Yurii Andreievich inwardly agreed
that this was not unlikely, but the calm, authoritative tone in
which this unpleasant boy was making his forecasts angered
him.
“Just a moment,” he said hesitantly. “True, all this may happen.
But it seems to me that with all that’s going on — the chaos, the
disintegration, the pressure from the enemy — this is not the
moment to start dangerous experiments. The country must be
allowed to recover from one upheaval before plunging into
another. We must wait till at least relative peace and order are
restored.”
“That’s naive,” said Pogorevshikh. “What you call disorder is
just as normal a state of things as the order you’re so keen
about. All this destruction — it’s a natural and preliminary stage
of a broad creative plan. Society has not yet disintegrated
sufficiently. It must fall to pieces completely then a genuinely
revolutionary government will put the pieces together and build
on completely new foundations.”
I somewhat disagree with part of what you say:
“The Left says ‘defund the police’ because the Left wants to commit crimes with impunity.”
This is true at one level, because of the general immorality and perversion of the Left. But I think the upper levels, the movers and shakers, also want to dismantle society with constant lawlessness in order to get rid of the Constitution. Even what is left of it hinders them in the creation of the totalitarian State they desire.
They want repeat, violent felons released on bond to continue spending terror, for example. They don’t necessarily want to dirty their own hands or risk confronting an armed citizen themselves. Instead, they insure that the criminal underclass does their work for them.
Perhaps my statement “the Left wants to commit crimes with impunity” could be re-phrased as “the Left wants crimes to be committed with impunity.” That constant chaos opens the door for them to the create the totalitarian State they desire.
Had the author not said what he did, he would be liable for arrest for calling for mob violence and vigilantes. If not today, very soon.
Exactly.

We are a few steps beyond that in the dismantling.
“ morality and civic duty”
Those are two very dead letters - so dead the bones are dry - in America today.
