One of my friends living in the same city as me had their door broken down by the police because a fash called the cops on them. They then got carted away and released later with no charge. Another autistic queer person in this city was harassed and beaten by police because they got overwhelmed, and were lying on the corner of the sidealk, their partner told the police several times what was going on and that the best thing to do was to just give them time. That was at Pride. You know, the celebration specifically for queer people to feel safe at. People on the street that I walk past openly talk about my genitals within ear shot. And I know people who have been physically harassed, the police did nothing. Instead, they sent 40 cops to a mentally black man's house and then brutalised him enough that they killed him. They also told a woman whose son had died, that it was a suicide only hours after hearing about it, and then when it was found out that it wasn't, they basically didn't investigate it. So yeah, ACAB. edit: I should say, this wasn't in America, the police are known here worldwide for being "good cops" trained in de-escalation, and they can't even carry guns. None of that means poo poo. I don't know a single person that trusts them who isn't cishet. alexandriao has a new favorite as of 20:53 on Sep 18, 2021 |

Yeah this is pretty much it. The people who seem to struggle the most to understand how much of a threat cops are happen to be of the same (or similar) demographic to those who work as cops. The people who are most likely to murder me in descending order; -myself -my partner -cops This is the second time this month ive had to explain this concept on this website to a bunch of privileged goons. Gotta love seeing people accusing others of being terminally online or whatever, who then cannot understand that people different from themselves have had different experiences in life.

Well, I also get suuuuuper into movies. Like even if it's a dumb popcorn movie I'll be near tears about how beautiful it is that Chet and Buck both had a defining father/son trip together even though nothing went according to plan. Or how triumphant it is when Uncle Buck flips the giant pancake. I'm watching John Candy movies today...

I too find people who have never participated in violence talking about how political violence on the streets is in fact good embarassing. Jokerpilled Drudge posted:the posters from finland or whatever really need to trust us that the police are basically a murderous street gang with the backing of US oligarchy. Great for you though that your cops get nerf guns There was a guy in Finland that was beaten up by 10 cops and the cops were charged, and some were convicted, some were not. The guy was recently sentenced to pay 13000 Euros to some of the cops who were charged but not convicted to compensate for their legal costs. In the US the guy would have been shot and no charges ever brought so I guess this is better but still pretty poo poo.

It's an even more rear end in a top hat version of "abandon the red states." Yeah lol for all the minorities in red states I guess. Go civil war!

Changing the status quo via violence would be bad because the marginalized might be harmed during this change. This would be worse than keeping the status quo, where the marginalized are already harmed.

When violence becomes the means of interaction in a society then it's usually the case the most extremely violent sect eventually wins. (Which, I assume, would be bad for marginalized people- and everyone else too.) I'm not a student of history, I can't back this up exhaustively, but Noam Chomsky is a student of history and I think it's him I'm paraphrasing.

Don't respond with "there is already that" because an actual revolution/civil war looks like Syria, and yes, it's far worse, and there is no guarantee that the good guys win.

Well its funny because I think I started this convo talking about how we should normalize violence against bigots. Like a sucker punch when they go on a tirade so that they at least learn to keep their mouths shut in public. But somehow that has transformed into "you gays will die in the upcoming civil war so you should be happy with what you have. If you say ACAB you're either morbidly obese or anorexic and spend all of your time on twitter". Edit: oh I misread what you said, you mentioned violence not civil war. I dunno, violence is already happening in one direction, and its more often than not a crime of passion or opportunity, not planned and organized. Since they fear no retribution from law enforcement, if there was anyone standing up to them they'd probably be less likely to commit these acts of violence. I can't say how many times (back when I was still masculine-presenting) the mere presence of all 6'2 of me de-escalated someone. Fashionable Jorts has a new favorite as of 17:32 on Sep 19, 2021 |

The Souths refusal to accept societal change and laws is what caused them to break the union, but it was that act that required war, regardless of what motivated it. States do not have rights except ones granted to them, and those rights can and should be taken away, by violence if necessary.

It's not like the police are rapidly becoming more and more comfortable with being openly fascistic, labour rights are near non-existent and climate change is set to make things unimaginably worse incredibly soon. We have plenty of time for considered, gradual change. Believe in the system, folks! It'll start working any day now! Like, I don't know, I don't fantasise about open violence, but I do think it's an increasing real possibility and we need to be prepared for it as living standards crumble further - not just in terms of self-defence from those whose first resort is violence, but building support and communities outside of official ones.

Oh sorry, I didn't intend to say you did any of that. I meant other people then took my statement to mean something I didn't say, and got really passionate in the defense of the status quo to the point where they were being deliberately obtuse and weirdly body-shaming.
