Oh, so the authoritarians need ICE violence, blah, blah, blah. You left off the part about Biden letting in over ten million illegals. Of course brutality and racism are the result of that. It is the body politic’s immune system killing the invasive virus. It’s happening all over Europe, too. If you want it to stop quit infecting us next time you get control.
I didn't say it was arbitrary, quite the opposite. Besides, I don't see masked men wandering the streets of European cities brutalizing people. They tend to be a little sensitive to that sort of thing, given not-so-distant history, something we might learn from.
I suggest you read my essay and see what you might gain from it. Your "blah blah blah" suggests that you didn't.
It's an essay about why reading and thinking about Plato might be important and valuable when academic freedom is under threat. You seem to have read a few words at the beginning and made up your mind about what I am talking about, which is sort of an odd thing to do on a platform like this!
You don’t need to convince me of the salutory benefits of reading Plato. My dad introduced me to him, then my love of Plato was rebooted when in my twenties I read Alan Bloom’s Closing of the American Mind.

What an odd way of thinking. Brutality and racism are choices, not natural reactions.
And the same arbitrary choice happens to be made all over Europe and the States?

I didn't say you needed convincing of anything. But do try actually reading the argument.
You are about to see Europe deporting people. This will happen as soon as they quit undermining democracy.
