    London is an Orwellian hellhole, but the further from it in the UK one goes, the more sensible officials become (usually). I live in Northern Ireland, where you can still joke with the police about punching a burglar in the face. Make that playful quip in London and you’d be formally cautioned at the very least. It truly is a hub of fascism. Maybe other major cities around the world are too?

    the cops in Tokyo are generally friendly, but in certain situation, and with certain units, their fascist tendencies emerge very quickly.

    “I’m taking pictures here, is that illegal?” The policeman, in this case, considers the question.

    The private guard says “you can’t do this here” he’s told to say it, he’s paid to say it, and, it’s a reasonably accurate statement – from his perspective and based on his experience.

    What’s relevant here is the striking contrast between the public and private. Whatever your beef is with various policemen – and they do vary, it’s a whole different story than dealing with private security. A similar contrast is reveled between soldier and mercenary.

    Oh, the pain Will Robinson, the pain…
