The System Of The Broom
I did a stint teaching in a girl’s school in rural Cambodia. Most of them had been rescued from trafficking, the oldest was fifteen. I asked the principal what would happen if some local men tried to break into the school and hurt the girls (it was on the forest boundary with little fencing). She replied, “oh, then we k*ll them with clubs”. I may be a pacifist, but her answer seemed fair under the circumstances.
My wife and I watched a brilliant but disturbing documentary about so called "honour killings" called A Girl In The River. It was in Pakistan but the same happens elsewhere. Whilst men like that exist, young girls and women will never be safe. After watching we both had tears of rage at the callous disregard a lot of men in these countries have for the female population.
This women are totally badass warriors, but it does make me sad that this is needed.
Looks like they have ditched the broom heads and are going full stick
If i remember correctly, they can't be prosecuted due to it being impossible to identify who threw the first punch / which impact caused the damage.
Being a woman in Patriarchal countries like India, Pakistan, the Middle East is generally horrifying. Women uniting to take a stand is the beginning of change! Sad that this group has to exist but addressing an age old issue. The inequity of woman and the statistics of abuse that woman face globally needs to end, along with any ‘ism’ or phobia, or form of discrimination, maltreatment.
As long as it can technically sweep the floor....yes.

A healthy primate society has the females allied and coordinated so the males don't take over. Humans lost that organization, and we've been nuts ever since.
This is so arcaic... they should switch to vacuum cleaners, they're heavier.
Where I live, once a year, on December 4th, women get together, dressed as witches, so you don’t recognize them. They form gangs, roam the street and beat up men with their brooms. No joke! It’s some kind of tradition here, which is totally accepted. Some men are even asking for it and searching these so called „Bärbeles“.
Hmmm, where do you live and how can I move there?
Load More Replies... We can all agree that domestic violence is horrible. I just wish there were LESS people thinking "why didn't she leave?"
and more people thinking: why did HE not leave. ‼️ I know women face slapping their husbands, don’t know any men who ever raised their hands against their wives.

People don't appreciate what a good weapon a broom handle, or even better an axe handle, is
If that photo is them - there are no brooms on those brooms. More like bamboo sticks. It is a sad statement on how women are treated in India that most of us reading this are routing for a bunch of vigilantes exacting mob justice without a trial ---- because we know that is likely the only way an abusive husband in India will be punished.

Joining A Racist Fb Group To Out The Racists
Created 15 years ago, the subreddit is dedicated to examples of chaotic good actions, which have attracted over 217k members already. The instances cover everything from fighting hate groups in the most inventive ways possible to supporting others through tough times, reviving people’s faith in humanity one post at a time.
Such somewhat altruistic behavior encourages people to believe in the kindness of others; and the majority of them do. A survey of adults in the US revealed that as many as 83% of them believe that humans are inherently good. Another one reported that the number was as high as 81%, adding that nearly half of the surveyed, though, consider themselves “better” than everyone else they know.

A Very Effective Method Indeed
There is also a company out there that is working on '3D printing' rhino horns. They are made out of the same stuff, but ridiculously cheap. The idea is to flood the market with fakes that are completely indistinguishable from natural ones that are extremely low cost. It would tank the prices and make poaching no longer profitable. Because no amount of deterrents will stop someone, but if there is no money in it the business will stop.
Some of the actions in the pictures shared by ‘Chaotic Good’ could be considered expressions of altruism, the level of which, according to some scholars, might vary depending on the individual’s brain.
Research suggests that people who express strong altruistic behavior have a more active—and sometimes even larger—right amygdala, which is responsible for the way we feel and perceive emotions in others; fear especially. That’s why it’s arguably safe to assume that the level of altruism is tied to people’s neurologically driven ability to perceive and empathize with others’ fears and vulnerabilities.

The research also suggests that altruism is ingrained in live beings at an evolutionary level. It is believed that in its basic form, altruism helped preserve species by members helping each other.
It pointed out that it can be witnessed not only among people, but in the animal kingdom as well; for example, among worker bees that “choose feeding the hive’s young over reproducing” or ravens that alert others of their species of a food supply they all can share.

When it comes to people, their level of altruistic tendencies often depends on certain factors, such as age and social proximity of the other person, as well as the nature of what is being sacrificed in order to help others.
A 2017 study revealed that people feel less altruistic sentiment to those who are more socially distant; for instance, they might not help a stranger, but they would a relative in a similar situation. It also suggested that individuals tend to feel more health altruistic towards young kids and more wealth altruistic towards adults, showing that altruism can be somewhat situational.

It’s not only adults feeling altruistic towards kids, though; children as little as two years exhibit signs of seeking to help others as well. Studies suggest that toddlers feel greater happiness when sharing treats rather than getting them themselves. In addition to that, they feel more content giving up their resources rather than sharing something at no cost.

Luckily, people seemingly don’t grow out of feeling happy about doing good when they exit the toddler years. Based on Michael Steger’s—a psychologist at the University of Louisville in Kentucky—findings, good deeds (even if somewhat chaotic, in my opinion) make people happy.
He carried out a study assessing people’s involvement in pleasure-seeking behavior, versus meaningful activities, such as helping others or listening to people’s problems. Steger learned that the extent to which people participated in meaningful activities was positively linked to their level of happiness; pleasure-seeking behavior, on the other hand, didn’t seem to reap similar rewards.

In addition to the sporadic cases of chaotic good, people also take up volunteering—another activity arguably capable of restoring one’s faith in humanity. According to TeamStage, over a billion people globally take part in volunteering, whose labor equals to over 109 million full-time workers.

I personally don’t agree with these kind of statements, not to be confused with harsh, brutal police acts and racism, that is for sure not okay, but when they are slightly off-parked or have a taillight out, for these they are just trying to do their jobs, they probably don’t have time if a criminal has rammed the back end for example to go and get it all fixed. If they are being truly unlawful and discriminatory and unfair, then I don’t believe this is a value of time, they’ve spent a few minutes now just having to take that, when I can guarantee they are just given the squad car by a superior and don’t have management calls like this. Just wanna remind again, I don’t agree one bit when it is harsh, terrible abuse of power especially racism with certain officers.

I support planting trees _I love the environment! But if the residents or owners didnt allow OP to plant the tree then its not ok . I recently started planning to build a vegatble garden in my front garden . I would be very annoyed if this happend as I was planning. OP did not think of what the residents might to planning to do in THEIR garden. And if the residents want to cut in down that would cost them money to do so.

A lot of this is revenge. Revenge isn't justice, revenge is the opposite of justice.
Liked most of these - not the ones that advocate violence. Good does not resort to violence except when absolutely necessary. Good people try peaceful, nonviolent solutions FIRST. On the other hand, some people won't respond to kindness and olive branches. Sometimes you have no choice but to open a can of whoop-a$s.
All these people like 'oh no you can't react negatively to a horrible thing' like bro at this point the only thing that's gonna fix America specifically but the world in general is full on anarchy. Being peaceful and nice will never change anything, you need to actually f**k s**t up and make people notice
