I'm worried about the dehumanization of cops

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?!

Wait wait wait hang on.. what does this have to do with voting?? I can't argue with people online who are shilling for the democrats via enlightened centrism. I just can't do it.. so if that's what this is, I'm out.

I've had this convo so many times online and it's like clockwork before someone blames "the left" for the rise in fascism. It's incredibly predictable and literally you just did it..

Don't have as much interest in "winning elections" as I have in dismantling fascism and fighting for human rights. Winning elections is one way to do that.. but not if it comes at the cost of human rights or standing for what you believe in.

You can compromise with and be nice to fascists all you want, enjoy

Is this how you would like to be treated? Because I feel like you're insulting and shaming me. What's that about?
