When we got complacent
In defending our rights
The Nazis changed their name
Now they’re called the alt-right

Evictions, disproportionately of those most vulnerable, due to Austerity via the Neoliberal policies of Reagan and Thatcher which very much persist today, maximizing, subsidizing the profit of fortune 500 companies while making welfare a slur.
Cops break up people who are just trying to feed the hungry.
ICE; Locking children in cages -- No human is illegal. The Contras were perpetrated by the imperial core, and then the imperial family eats up the propaganda to hate the refugees fleeing those situations.
Prisons, during covid lockdowns, put prisoners in 24/7 solitary. Solitary is torture. It is so bad that is an effective motivator to force prisoners to instead labor for cents a day.
Cops illegally raid safe injection sites, and spread disinformation about People who use drugs, dehumanizing themselves in the process.
Read about the Comstock Raids, as far back as 1860s, the reason that motivated the Stonewall Uprising a century later, and dont think they up and stopped harrassing queer folks of color for doing so much as existing in public.
The origins of the police forces were to chase down runaway slaves.
It is not "a few bad eggs". It's not about a bug of the system, it's the features it was designed for, through Comstocks weaponization of the Post Office to control bodies and autonomy, into modern day surveillance state and militarization.
What we are talking about is Violence. SYSTEMIC Violence.
There is no more violent beast than the Settler-Colonial White Supremacist, with all it's manifest destiny. This Prison System's history is well documented, and evidence of it's violence is more apparent and accessible everyday.
Abolition is a process and it will take time, the two greatest things we can do to obsolete prisons and police are:
- encourage and popularize anti-authoritarian parenting methods and 2) build strong community groups and mutual aid networks.
We must be free from class, from heirarchies of domination. These are inherently violent
That Dang Dad on YT is a great resource, and that's a starting point, because there is no justice unless you adress the root cause, and the truth is always on the side of the oppressed.
Who?

Scratch a TERF, find a nazi.
Nazis/Fash will appropriate everything.
So hey, good for the author if it works for them, but for me? Fuck that. I claim dyke, proudly. I go to the Dyke March. Dykey Dicked Sappho Pantastic Lesbo with a brick in her hand and the knowledge that if you're queer (and open/honest) long enough, all the binaries boil off. Even ABCD has it's (granted, extremely rare) exceptions.
I get where they're going, but ultimately this just boils down to, on a communal level "Labels work for people who like them, dont force them on people who don't identify with them." and on a personal level "Dont be reclkless with other people's hearts, dont put up with people who are reckless with your heart."
You define you. You will be limited and framed into boxes, but in truth your heart, intentions and identity are yours to explore, to show and be known. Dont put up with those who would seek to control that.
The bigotry, disinformation and fear-propaganda moral panics, too, will pass. It sucks to have to fight just to exist, but it's a life worth living, so spend more time happily. 👭🏝
Lol took us > 2 weeks but we got to the bottom of it
My initial comment in this thread was in response to someone (maskenox?) conflating the two. (Neither of which i am fond of, to be abundantly clear)
Edit: also, yes? When i went and folded all the comments...ig your initial reply was also to the same comment? Even though the voyager app shows them as diff colors...yellow and orange...doesnt make it as obvious and it isnt clear when it indents and when not... 💀
"IDGI, this person has the option to be the worst version of themselves. Why dont they choose to do that?!? Also why does noone want to be around me? Could it be that marinating my brains in a writhing compost of clapbacks and dunks is desensitizing me to my own dehumanizing? No. Clearly this is because woke."
