I'll keep lurking, sorry for the interruption gents.

Police are a very specific "form of balance," police abolitionists are not opposed to all such forms. Are you sure you can't think of any alternatives to police? There are several in Portland alone.

we need cops to protect our obama mannequins from hate crimes

“He said he hated Obama, and that the mannequin was looking at him bad,” Buzzetti said. “He said, ‘That doll was giving me bad looks. I’m tired of him. Obama brought the country down.’ He said he walks by the store every day and sees Obama every day and it made him really angry.”

this isn't even a controversial statement, ranking members of the bush administration including the president are guilty of hundreds of thousands of murders even if you only consider the iraq war which was definitely extremely illegal murder and they get hugs from michelle obama and liberals wishing for their return

Look if you're going to kill the guy who raped women and sent their families to gulags you'd better have an idea to what to replace it with that isn't anarchy. Not just going on a macho tirade about unaccountable death squads are wrong.

IIRC even in the Purge movies it's literally just a pretext for the elites to hire private armies to spend the night slaughtering people who were made unnecessary to capital over the last year

this is true, the Purge is consistently shown to be a thing that the majority of people do not participate in outside of the rich sport hunting black people and random psychos, so the government is required to truck in paramilitary foreign mercenaries and later government death-squads to juice the numbers. this is stated out loud multiple times directly into the camera "the purge exists so that rich people can kill the most vulnerable members of the population"

the first purge literally shows the journey of one man from lumpenprole to social realist hero

the purge movies own, everyone should watch them

lol the first purge literally has black militants slicing, dicing and shooting guys in kkk hoods in defense of their community. later we see all-white stormtroopers moving through a housing project gunning down the occupants while being led by a man in SS cosplay

it is not a subtle movie

poo poo the original purge movie is about college republicans hunting a homeless black veteran who is reluctantly aided by a family of petite bourgeoisie white people after they are confronted by the horror of the world they've helped build

he comes back later on as the leader of a resistance movement

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Cletus Safari turns up actual Cletus!

e: Some poking around in his twitter feed shows Cletus is actually one of the good guys (is from Vermont, loves AOC, hates Mitch McConnell) and he was just taking a thanks-for-nothing shot at Trump for raising his taxes.
