Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

As a rapper, I totally agree. I’ll go with: decentralized community defense would be far more effective than the police. And, you know. Wouldn’t be them.
The idea has been floated before that we should rotate random citizens (ok, maybe not 80 year olds) through police service, sort of like ancient Athenian democracy.
This would preserve the idea of community policing. Maybe this would be safer than mob justice but more professional than the out of control police we have now.
That’s a decent idea. But, here’s another one: there’s no objective morality, obviously, but we do have a thing we can point to. Community collaboration, and the instincts we’ve developed as primates. We don’t need to be involved in international trade deals. We need to check on our neighbor when a grocery delivery is rotting in front of their door, or show up strapped when some loud motherfucker causes is causing issues. I propose that any semblance of objective morality lies in our genes and us being social primates. This whole civility thing is nothing but gaslighting authoritarianism.
I worry that more decentralization in us law enforcement would be even worse. It’s far too easy for violent cops to shuffle from agency to agency with a paid vacation between bouts of oppression.
We don’t even have standards for major things like rules of engagement with deadly force aligned nationwide. Further decentralization sounds a bit terrifying.
I’m thinking, more like, you and your neighbors arm yourselves and be in each other’s business.
like a militia? or a lynch mob?
Yup. I envision those existing. For example, In the area I come from, the “Bikers Against Child Abuse” exist. Maybe there’s a Bikers Against Bikers Against Child Abuse? It’s not pretty across the board, and if you peel back a single layer of the world right now, neither is it.
