      1. this is different than the late 60s because by and large institutions were run by conservatives at that time. Now to the extent that institutions are run by conservatives, they're constrained by internal commissars and potential civil liability

      my point is not that conservatives or leftists or w/e are good or bad, simply that casting this as a street revolt against entrenched oppositions is incorrect except to the extent that police are still a basically-conservative institution, perhaps one of the few so theres that

      Other examples include charity and education, which were historically the domain of religious groups.

      What is worth considering is how the social science/blue state industrial complex differs from clerical organizations in basic organization and information processing. My hunch is that religions were relatively indexical in execution whereas the new system Sees Like a State

          That's a good compass, but they all have their place at the right level or sector of a well functioning society. The problem is when you synecdochalize one of them.
