No idea what you're even trying to reference in your second sentence, but the first sentence "community law enforcement" is a red flag in my book. The law creates a fiscal incentive for people to report their neighbors for actions that were federally protected at the time this law was passed. Neighbor vs. neighbor. Citizen vs. citizen. We spend more on policing than any country in the world and yet still need to deputize citizens in a heavily armed state? It's not my neighbor's damn business to know if someone in my household seeks an abortion.

If fiscally incentivizing vigilantism isn't dystopian I don't know what is.

Deputization and vigilantism are antonyms, your framing is incoherent.

An elected legislature sanctioning civil action is "dystopian", but rioting and arson? Intimidating judges at their homes? Laundering a decade of domestic terrorism into universities and district attorneys' offices? Never heard of that stuff!

Not surprising to me, just absurd.

Nobody understands why you are talking about these other crimes. ?

[homonculus1]

Because the pearl-clutching over "turning citizens against one another" is proven disingenuous by the rioting.

Protests are typically more of a unity thing.

The discussion was about abortion in the context of digital privacy. You are the one who brought up all of these other things, which have nothing to do with the topic at hand. It's whataboutism and not worth engaging with.
