"What if I'm on the train and my phone suddenly jumps from 10% to 0% and dies and right in that very second a guy comes up to me to check my ticket and he doesnt believe me when I say I have one and my phone is dead because a woman behind me just used that same excuse" feels like an outlandish anxiety nightmare and then one day it just happens to you for real

“The police spend very little of their time dealing with violent criminals—indeed, police sociologists report that only about 10% of the average police officer’s time is devoted to criminal matters of any kind. Most of the remaining 90% is spent dealing with infractions of various administrative codes and regulations: all those rules about how and where one can eat, drink, smoke, sell, sit, walk, and drive. If two people punch each other, or even draw a knife on each other, police are unlikely to get involved. Drive down the street in a car without license plates, on the other hand, and the authorities will show up instantly, threatening all sorts of dire consequences if you don’t do exactly what they tell you. The police, then, are essentially just bureaucrats with weapons. Their main role in society is to bring the threat of physical force—even, death—into situations where it would never have been otherwise invoked, such as the enforcement of civic ordinances about the sale of untaxed cigarettes.”

— An excerpt from Ferguson & the Criminalization of American Life by David Graeber (via actjustly)

since i think many will have had the memory slip with just how many other atrocities have occured in the past 11 years, or are simply too young to remember, the last bit about the sale of untaxed cigarettes isn’t just some hypothetical, it’s a reference to the killing of eric garner

this is the origin of the slogan “i cant breathe”, which was revived in the wake of the killing of george floyd.

On this day, 17 July 2014, Eric Garner was murdered by police enforcing a civic ordinance.

#many police officers go into the profession specifically in search of violence #and it ruins their fantasy when the reality of the job hits them #which is why they are so eager to escalate non violent situations into violent ones #its all in service of their own self mythology as righteous and violent enforcers of the rule of law

The great thing about Gus is that he perfectly oscillates from playing the annoyed straight man to Shawn’s general insanity to yes-anding to an insane degree. For every moment where he says no Shawn, you did not hear that both ways there’s a moment where he, with no prompting, claims that his fictitious grandmother with a broken hip was teaching a line dancing class. For every time he says Shawn, stop messing around at work, there is a time where after Shawn says he’s been “looking at the man in the mirror”, Gus, in a move that never ever fails to make me laugh, with a completely straight face and no impact on the conversation, does the Michael Jackson “he-he”. He’s insane. He thinks he’s normal. He does 11 point turns. He’s a sympathetic crier.

awareness of "the abused can become the abuser" is useless without the knowledge that abuse is a choice anyone makes that is made for self-benefit. recently I watched an interview on the psychology of domestic abuse and the woman who interviewed those who inflicted the abuse always made sure to ask "why didn't you take it further?" because the answer would always show the abuser hadn't simply lost control. for example one man said he pushed over his girlfriend but didn't kick her once she was down because he didn't want any noticeable bruising that caused suspicion. human psychology is much less poetic than you think. too many psychology enjoyers only enjoy the poetic

average "dark psychology" enjoyer discovering the perpetrator literally just hated women and minorities

#yup #the abused can only become the abuser if the abused allows their trauma to lead to entitlement #entitlement is the basic phenomenon behind all abuse

listening to someone talk about veganism as this moral imperative and someone pointed out that by some definitions, plants can experience "pain" too (which I think is a stretch but whatever) and she's like "they don't exactly experience pain but if they did humans would just figure out something else to do. we've figured out how to survive without eating animals, we could do the same for plants" and like respectfully I just think that's stupid. and I think that assigning moral value to the food sources animals use (humans are, after all, animals) is.. maybe emotionally satisfying? but ultimately shallow. are carnivorous animals morally bad for eating other animals? are omnivores that mostly eat meat less moral than omnivores that mostly eat plants?

I don't think the problem is that we eat meat, it's the uniquely cruel ways we treat the animals we eat under our current system. it's a bad system, and there are genuine arguments to be made for veganism as a moral choice on those grounds. you could also just prefer to be vegan or you might not like meat or you might personally feel icky eating an animal. all perfectly viable. but acting as if it's a moral imperative because eating meat is immoral kinda implies that you think carnivorous animals are morally worse than herbivores. like it's just goofy and doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

#good take #like yes factory farming the meat industry the dairy industry are immoral but the industry is the immoral part #because we know beyond a doubt at this point that our food systems are contributing to pollution and climate change #and that leads to poisoning of the water and air that people animals AND plants need to survive #and in most cases we simply do not need to be eating as much meat and dairy as we do #but there is nothing inherently evil about eating something else #there is nothing inherently evil about the way we recycle proteins and vitamins and fibers from other beings through mastication/digestion #even in a perfect world without factory farming i wouldnt eat meat but that would be seen as a morally neutral choice #same as choosing to eat meat #the problem ultimately arises from our privileged disconnect from our food systems and where things actually come from #speaking obviously in my case as an american. most of the people around me have never thought critically about food systems in their lives #chicken beef cheese eggs etc all come from one place and thats the store #they dont think about the labor involved or the poisons we're spraying over everything #to ensure that huge amounts of food can be grown packaged and shipped around the world and show up perfectly ripe and shiny #in their little plastic packaging in a grocery store #too many vegans/vegetarians imo fall into this false sense of moral purity because all they see is the shiny eyes of a calf #when they think about their choices #instead of the real people/animals/plants/insects all over the world that suffer in order to hold up the american convenience food complex #more people need to be cognizant of it because it's not enough to just not eat meat. its better sure but it doesnt solve the problem #sorry to rant on your post op

Yeah, I’ve heard of that show. It sounds good. I’d probably watch it if they removed 50-75% of the male characters.
