Sitting in a waiting room with CNN on and it transitioned from a lady saying how despite police needing better ways of interacting with minorities, the majority of police get into it for the right reasons to them announcing their lead of the cop that just shot the 15 year old girl.

:chaostrump:

The whole "police simply need better ways to interact with minorities" thing is largely bullshit, because efforts to educate cops on race issues have basically no effect (and there's evidence cops who are minorities also murder black people with impunity, because ACAB is applicable to all). No one wants to admit that the system and philosophy behind it are fundamentally broken, and even well intentioned reform can't do much.

Chauvin and the lady cop that shot the guy (the one who mistook her gun and taser) were both training cops. They would have been doing education and implicit bias training!

Main character does a genocide that kills most of the world, but he does it out of *~love~* for a character who was previously into him but he actively rejected her because ???

spacemang_spliff posted:

I started watching this and while it's entertaining it does seem to have a pretty fash aspect to it. In particular they keep hammering that you have to lose your humanity and become a literal monster to protect what you love.

I'm excited to find out in season 3 that space jews are responsible for everything for reasons

A recurring theme appears to be 'should a people have to keep paying for the fuckups of the previous generation forever?' which seems well and good but the resolution was 'if you keep oppressing us because we genocided everyone in the past, you leave us no choice but to genocide everyone again'. It feels like the author intended to convey the message that we should loosen restrictions on island nations who maybe engaged in a little genocide in the past but are cool now, but ended up saying that everyone else was absolutely right to contain them and the only gently caress up was a lack of vigilance

at least i do credit AOC with this as her one valuable task, to prove that our system of electoralism has failed us in the face of the greatest threat in all of the existence of the species.


so her begging pelosi to please please pass the bill that might allow this nation to survive (knowing it won't get past the senate) is at least proof positive of the failure. so that's something.

Liberals think progress is an inevitable force, and "activists" in the ether will naturally come to the rescue. They also believe that the justice system actually correctly dealing with a murdering cop, once in the about 2500 times it occurs, is "historic" without acknowledging how hosed up that is.

poo poo is so hosed that a cop actually getting convicted of a murder is historic but it's beyond the pale to believe that the ancient politicians that have been in power while this has been happening longer than some of these twitter posters have been alive might not actually give a poo poo about doing anything about this issue.
