What do we call this cowardice phenomenon?
It’s everywhere:

Police crack down on tame citizens for tiny infractions but look away from real criminals who are scarier to confront.
White women freak out if a white guy catcalls, but brush it off when it’s an immigrant/POC because they feel pressure/fear to excuse it.
Girlfriend sides with some random dude in an argument instead of her boyfriend, because it feels “safer” socially.

The pattern = people only police safe targets they feel comfortable with, while giving a free pass to anyone scarier or riskier to confront. It’s cowardice + social pressure disguised as morality.

I’ve been calling it “Safe Target Syndrome.” But I feel like we can come up with something even sharper/memetic. Maybe something like “threat pass” or “cuck cop” idk.

What’s the best name for this?

It's not a problem unique to law enforcement or even the government. People are lazy and the way employment works reinforces that. If you solve 20 little problems, your boss thinks you're doing a better job than if you solve 1 problem, even if that problem is really bad. There's literally zero incentive for them to go after bigger targets.

Yeah true. That but also I think white libs just wanna larp as activists so they go after the safest targets. They know they will get little to no backlash going up against straight dudes misgendering someone.

The paleoconservatives have been calling this phenomenon "anarcho-tyranny".

Police are ultimately a political institution so their law enforcement practices will follow the political interests of the government that they answer to.
Also, they are public servants, and public servants do the absolute minimum that enables them to justify their existence.
Western society is based on trust and personal responsibility. The trust people have in each other is meant to hold each other accountable to their personal responsibility.
No authority can enforce trust, because it is something that is naturally developed and maintained among people of shared values.
The police can only pretend to enforce the law, because in Western society it is trust and person responsibility that enforce the law. Once they are broken, the police just uses the opportunity to enforce their political interests, because there is nothing else they can do.

This.
And their priority is determined by the political interests of the government.
The government determines what is the most pressing issue that must be focused on.

Anarcho-tyranny.
As retarded in theory as it is in reality.

Its not quite the same as that actually. Its closer to women cracking down on local men for tiny things because they're too afraid to confront clear violent or destructive criminals who happen to be brown/black/foreign/LGBTQ/etc

If you're looking at it specifically from that angle, you could call it a sunk cost fallacy and/or shit test? Lmao

Anarcho-tyranny. It's the worst parts of anarchy and tyranny in one. Actual criminals are allowed to act with impunity (anarchy) while the zogbots crack down on anyone who complains (tyranny).

maybe soft target or safe target syndrome explains it best. its not about the gov necessarily- but also a focus on young women who are empowered to fight only against young civilized men instead of immigrants, minorities, etc etc

Sorry I didn't read the thread lol.

There is certainly a neo-marxist aspect to it: browns and women are "oppressed" therefore everything they do is automatically virtuous. Whites and men are the "oppressor" therefore everything they do is automatically wrong.
