Am I technically a bastard by way of being an admin/mod which is technically a kind of cop :thaenkin:

@mawr I can't really classify admins as cops. Someone has to keep shit running.. and sometimes that takes policy enforcement and the like but it's not policing or being a cop in my mind.

Unfortunately, humans are more difficult to organize and manage that even cats.. so we need guides and people to help provide direction and some form of enforcement of said guidelines.
This is very distinct from the role of holds the monopoly on violence for the wealthy for the purpose of labor suppression.
