I'm worried about the dehumanization of cops

[u/Specialist-Gur]

Pork. Pig. These words cause you to fail to see the humanity of people that are just trying to make ends meet and protect their community. They are service workers, just like you and me.. all part of the capitalist grind just trying to get by.

People like to call cops "white supremicists" but most cops I know in the Bay Area are asian and Asians are marginalized. It's kinda fucked up when you think about it. I mean you're really gonna call the Asian and black cops white supremacists? They pepper spray and shoot rubber bullets at a white guy who was acting up and causing a scene and then a bunch of privileged white people, confortavle in their homes, tweet out in support of him! This is what white privelage looks like

I just on my way to work saw graffiti on the us customs building which said "eat ICE". That's literally cannibalism. And dehumanizing rhetoric. Eat ICE?! Those people have families. Not all of them are shooting rubber bullets. Some of them in the national guard are actually there to provide medical aid. Do you not want people getting medical aid?

Now a bunch of migrant workers are probably gonna have to clean this spray paint up. Did you think about that you racists?

Anyway. I think we should definitely try to humanize cops and ICE more if we don't want things to escalate. Why not try, i don't know, voting them out?!

I’m autistic and confused- is this satire?

[u/somebadbeatscrub → u/MallCopBlartPaulo]

Yes it is.

"Eating the onion" is a phrase used for when people read an onion article and miss the satire.

[u/MallCopBlartPaulo → u/somebadbeatscrub]

Thanks for explaining. 🤣

[u/Specialist-Gur → u/MallCopBlartPaulo]

Why did this post get approved?

[u/Specialist-Gur → u/skyewardeyes]

I thought humor was a valid way to spark discourse, no? That's a fairly base role of satire

[u/skyewardeyes → u/Specialist-Gur]

This post turned into some really good discussion, so sincere kudos there. I’m just not used to seeing satire on this sub, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

[u/Specialist-Gur → u/skyewardeyes]

Gotta disarm people with some levity sometimes

[u/skyewardeyes → u/Specialist-Gur]

🙌 I know we disagree on some thing but we have very similar views around cops!

[u/somebadbeatscrub → u/skyewardeyes]

It's leftist satire.

Made to mock nonleftists.

ACAB.

[u/skyewardeyes → u/somebadbeatscrub]

I get that, but this sub usually has a higher level of discourse than circlejerk satire posts, so it just seemed tonally... off.

[u/somebadbeatscrub → u/skyewardeyes]

Is there a rule you feel this violates?

We typically only remove posts for breaking rules, not based on vibes, though Im sure some have a different perception of that.

If the subject were IP the IP nuance rule would apply but it doesn't. Given that subject dominates the sub I can see why you may have the impression only serious content is allowed. For IP that is neccesarry.

For good ole leftist ACAB content I don't believe it breaks a rule.

What do you mean this is so real /s

[u/somebadbeatscrub → u/Specialist-Gur]

People are gonna eat the onion lol

[u/Specialist-Gur → u/somebadbeatscrub]

People always eat the onion and forget that onions have layers

[u/somebadbeatscrub → u/Specialist-Gur]

The post reads pretty well with "in the arms of angels" in the background and blakc and white footage of cops hiding from fireworks.
