The likes of CNN and Foxnews paint the police as a noble force protecting us all. David Graeber explains what the police are really about.

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

Hopelessness is manufactured.
"All over the place, from popular 
culture to the propaganda system, 
there is constant pressure to make 
people feel that they are helpless, 
that the only role they can have 
is to ratify decisions and to 
consume."

It is worth remembering that some of the most essential people in the economy are often very badly paid and generally treated with arbitrariness and disrespect.
"The cleaners at my current university, are treated very badly. As in 
most universities these days, their work has been outsourced and are 
employed not directly by the school but by an agency, the name 
of which is emblazoned on the purple uniforms they wear. 
.
They are paid little, obliged to work with dangerous chemicals that 
often damage their hands or otherwise force them to have to take time 
off to recover (for which time they are not compensated), and generally 
treated with arbitrariness and disrespect. 
.
There is no particular reason that cleaners have to be treated in such
an abusive fashion. But at the very least, they take some pride in 
knowing and, in fact, I can attest, for the most part do take pride in 
knowing that buildings do need to be cleaned, and, therefore, without 
them, the business of the university could not go on."
.

In 2015, Utopia Of Rules was published and written by David Graeber. This is an extract from that book!
"For anyone who has ever been a refugee, or for that matter had 
to fill out the forty-page application required to get one’s daughter 
considered for admission by a London music school, the idea that 
bureaucracy has anything to do with rationality, let alone efficiency, 
might seem odd. 

Market reforms only reinforce this tendency. This happens on every 
level and it is felt most cruelly by the poor, who are constantly monitored 
by an intrusive army of moralistic box-tickers assessing their child-rearing 
skills, inspecting their food cabinets to see if they are really cohabiting 
with their partners, determining whether they have been trying hard 
enough to find a job, or whether their medical conditions are really 
sufficiently severe to disqualify them from physical labor."
.
All rich countries now employ legions of functionaries whose primary 
function is to make poor people feel bad about themselves. 
.

“I’d like to end by putting in a good word for the non-industrious poor: at least they aren’t hurting anyone. Insofar as time they take off work is spent with friends and family, enjoying and caring for those they love, they’re probably improving the world more than we acknowledge.” — David Graeber
