One downside to the ruling from the standpoint of criminal justice reform is that Deputy Fulford was granted qualified immunity for Wingate's unlawful arrest. Under that controversial doctrine, government officials are generally shielded from being held civilly liable if their actions were not explicitly disavowed in a previous court decision. "Until today, no federal court has prescribed the constitutional limits of" the Virginia ordinance at issue, the 4th Circuit stated. Thus "a reasonable officer could infer—albeit incorrectly—that the [Fourth Amendment's] requirements did not apply."
Hickel, an anthropologist by training, has two major theses about the world:1. He believes that global poverty reduction is a myth, and2. He believes that degrowth is the best solution to environmental problems.Both theses are wrong. And not just wrong in the “Ackshually, sir, you don’t have the facts quite right” sense, but wrong in consequential, potentially dangerous ways. In this post I’m only going to push back against the first of these two narratives; I promise I will write more about degrowth later, and in the meantime you can read this and this....Thus Hickel believes that any success of the modern global economic system (outside China) must constitute a victory for free-market capitalism. And so to him, criticizing capitalism requires that we deny that global poverty has fallen.But Hickel is wrong about poverty, and he is wrong about the global economic system too.
Mexico has already gone through de-agriculturization, which is why they've stopped sending migrants. Long way to go for Golden Triangle to catch up. pic.twitter.com/4eEj6YWgjV— Christopher Glazek (@seeglazek) April 10, 2021
