you mean it might not be about enforcing laws at all? Instead being a movement designed to empower oppressive systems? shocked pikachu face

Blue Live Matter has never meant anything but “black lives don’t”.

The law never had anything to do with it. It's only that, from the perspective of white nationalists, generally cops are on our team. If it's a criminal on our team vs law enforcement on their team, they'll go full-on "fuck the police" without an instant of hesitation.

Or Ruby Ridge / Waco / Oklahoma City. Fascists will turn on a dime when it comes to loving/hating the police.

I have seen this for years in the meth head community. Whether or not they're saying "fuck the police" depends entirely on who the cops are currently arresting. Competing meth dealer? Fuck yeah, they're doing their job! One of their own? Fuck the police! A Mexican? Fuck yeah, thin blue line!

I've actually seen someone go from support to hate and back to support in the space of a single conversation.

Meth heads are well known for the paranoia, no surprise they turn out to have the exact same intellectual integrity as the fear-addicted bigots voting Repub in every election.

Yeah and all of the fuck law enforcement crowd (myself included) is gonna begrudgingly vote for her.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Yeah ACAB for life but I hate fascists more.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I'd take bastards over fascists any day.

Police is a fascist institution.

To borrow from the mob boss Eddie Valentine at the end of Rocketeer

"I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% America"

at least she has redeeming qualities, even in the law enforcement front. she supported budget cuts for LAPD for example.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And then the administration she was apart of had a massive increase in police funding, it's almost like politicians say whatever is convenient at the moment & do what benefits the power structures that they're connected to later.

They don't believe the things they support, it's all virtue signaling. Just like belief in the Bible

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Some of those that work forces…

The police is a fascist institution - so it shouldn't be surprising that they will back someone who is better at regurgitating (and embodying) the fascist dog-whistles fascists wants to hear.

Besides, the term "felon" means absolutely nothing when it is used in connection to a rich white guy - this should also not be surprising in a fundamentally white supremacist society that pathologically worships and fetishizes capitalism.

I usually do not save images but I gotta save this. Thank you. 😄

Same people who are pro-2A and suddenly got a real big problem with people of color owning guns.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

They don't like guns or laws. They are fascists. They like privileges. They like having rights and other people they don't like not having rights. They don't care about anything else. The traits their leaders exhibit are more important than the things they say.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

They can like guns too. Guns are fun.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

allow me to rephrase. They claim that everyone should be able access guns all the time, no matter what. They don't actually believe this. They like the privilege of being able to carry guns and intimidating people they don't think should have rights. They especially hate it when those people pick up guns and warn them to fuck off.

This has nothing to do with their personal enjoyment of guns, which may or may not be genuine or performative.

Surprising exactly nobody

Kamala is a cop of convenience. She's a cop when we're talking about trump being a felon. But she's totally not a cop when we start talking about her record of collaboration with the prison industrial complex.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not me, totally a cop in that case too. It's a very unpopular topic though, I've noticed. I'm still going to vote for her though, because the US presidential election still mostly comes down to the two options South Park told us it did all those years ago...

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Thats what shocks me about the trump fanbase, they are always able to justify his hideous nature in a way democrats cant match.
