i hate these memes that group entire countries or continents into one homogeneous blob and assumes that one is inherently better than the other

It's the best way to sow division. Put everyone into discrete groups and tell them that the other groups are bad.

Cops as a group is formalized by their own work choice.

Yep. I can remember not too long ago that French police blinded people when dealing with the yellow jacket riots. Also the president's bodyguard being there dressed as a cop and hospitalised someone instead of protecting the president. There's also the murder of Stephen Lawrence in the UK and every year here there's multiple cops charged with raping women or using excessive force against a minority.

Cops are shit everywhere.

Also in Finland, on 6th day of December (2023), on our independence day, the bastards prohibited the Helsinki ilman natseja (Helsinki without nazis) protest, beating the antifascist protesters and ramming into them with fucking horses, but they welcomed the nazi parade with open hands. Interesting.

Me too. I just don't understand why so many people think that these "ok boomer / millennials, gen x,y,z does this and that" things don't work on the same principle tho. I think it's just as stupidly stereotypical...and I'm not even a boomer.
