the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family

Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making

caption by @/ashleytheebarroness on tiktok: People reach for the Gestapo comparison because it sounds extreme and foreign. It lets white Americans pretend this kind of policing came from somewhere else. But ICE looks closer to slave patrols because that's our history. Local enforcement. Racialized suspicion. Vague authority. Taking people first, justifying it later. Gestapo is a warning. Slave patrols are a mirror.

You know I hadn’t made this exact connection at first but something in my gut told me that people comparing ice to the gestapo didn’t quite feel right. This comparison does fit a lot better.

Slave patrols were the first sheriffs and the basis for whole police system

Doing an internship at a rural DAs office in Texas in 2019 made this connection so brutally clear to me, I was not surprised by the BLM movement in 2020, and I’m not surprised by ICE now

America is stolen land, built by stolen people, profiting off stolen rights

ICE has existed as long as the United States— it’s just never been so transparent and public about it’s atrocious human rights abuses

it’ll never stop being funny that trials and tribulations dedicates time to have multiple characters go “god larry, your art is TERRIBLE, it sucks so BAD,” and then it’s revealed he draws like this

[1960z]

a couple people keep saying it’s because the sketch of the bridge was bad but that is also just not the case.

I need y’all to realise that this looks absolutely insane for a sketch he did in a couple minutes. the shape of the bridge and woman may look crude, sure but the fire? the way it’s perfectly blended?? it makes larry look some kind of artistic savant because to do all that in minutes is almost impossible
