IN ALL OF US IS A WILD THING

[fandomsandfeminism]

So here's a wild idea: cops should never kill anyone for any reason in any circumstance. A cop killing someone represents, at best, a failure to correctly deescalate the situation. Any cop who kills anyone should be immediately banned from being a cop ever again AND put on criminal trial (no internal investigations). If they are found not guilty of murder, then they can go get another job doing something else. But no one who has ever killed another person should still be a cop.

[fandomsandfeminism]

I just really want to emphasize that "killers shouldn't be cops and cops shouldn't be killers" is such a boring milk toast statement, that it really speaks to just how toxic America's view of law enforcement is that its seen as radical.

“What if cops... didn’t murder us” 

White america, in hellish unison: QUICK MURDER HER

These kinds of responses are my FAVORITE. Some examples to answers to this question I have heard:

1.

“Okay, and who’s the president?”

“Obama, no wait, shit *vehemently* fuck, I hate him… what’s his name…”

“It’s okay, you know who he is.”

2.

“Who’s the president?”

“*drunkenly angry and confused* ..uhhhhhhh…Orange… damn it what’s the fuck’s name….

“Yup, good enough.”

3.

“And who’s the president,”

“Not fuckin’ Obama!”

“I feel ya.”

4.

“Who’s the president- wait, nevermind you’re from Korea you said, right? So who’s-“

“Everybody knows that Trump-bitch.”

“Oh, well, alright then.”

5. (My personal favorite)

“Who’s the president?”

“Ew.”

“Good enough.”

My roommate is a neurologist and has to do this check all the time. Her all-time favorite so far has been “ay dios mio” during which the woman was vigorously crossing herself.

Anyway, stop spreading white nationalist rhetoric and toxic nationalism thanks

[that-deist-dude-deactivated2022]

Nobody said anything about race. Stop that.

It’s nationalist to state facts now?

How is this toxic?

Show me countries better than the USA.

what exactly makes america the “best country” here? america doesn’t excel in anything.

I was gonna say aren’t we like #1 in a bunch of bad stats? Like aren’t we the top for rape and abuse?

[kvltovcoyote]

we are superior in waging wars, exporting and using firearms, and incarcerating the population among a lot of other terrible things. how depressing is patriotism and nationalism?

[swimmingferret]

I remember this epic moment from The Newsroom

Americans just buy into the propaganda they are the greatest country when there is absolutely zero evidence to say so.

[cthulhu]

patriots love to try and counter this with points like “if america is SO bad then why are so many people coming here illegal/legally” because I guess they just somehow don’t realize thousands of people are immigrating to other countries, every single day. 

Our education in understanding how the rest of the world works is severely lacking. 

[amarretto-cowboy]

Still doesn’t invalidate their question. If the US is so awful why are thousands upon thousands begging and pushing their way to come here.

Really doesn’t make much sense if you ask me.

[the-library-alcove]

Because we destabilized their countries into war-torn battlefields, and, like it or not, the US is still (for the moment) not in the midst of a civil war, and they have the right to try to seek asylum in a place that’s apparently peaceful.  Also, they might not know what a hellhole it’s become and still believe that old propaganda line about the “Land of Opportunity”.  

Simple as that.

Pretend ur invasive self hating thoughts r being said to u by a 13 y/o boy on xbox live trying to get a rise out of you like “Your girlfriend dumped you because you’re ugly” that’s nice tim isn’t it past ur bedtime

[hellfucingshitfuck-deactivated2]

also, if you have intrusive violent thoughts, pretend they’re being said to u by an annoying backseat driver

“drive into that pole” thanks karen or i could not do that

[emmmpty]

Perfect

[the-neon-pineapple]

you can also pretend that the Super Paranoid thoughts are being said by that conspiracy theorist in your history class

“maybe they poisoned you” maybe you should fuck off, geoffrey-with-a-g

[venusian--eye-deactivated201606]

OHH MAN I DO THIS SHIT EVERY DAY

[dapperpea]

My favorite for intrusive anxious thoughts is to pretend Spock’s behind you with an answer.

“did I lock the door-”

captain you have locked the door every day for over ten years, and it is very hard for most people to break even subconscious habits, so you most definitely locked the door

[zetsubonna]

I told my new psychiatrist about how I learned this from y'all and his eyes lit up. He didn’t smile but he did nod a whole bunch of times, it was great.

[merelyimmortal]

I like to pretend that my intrusive thoughts are being said to me by a super uptight religious white lady

“god hates you because you don’t believe in him” “your failures are too great to be forgiven by anyone” “everything you do is wrong and you are going to burn in hell”

thanks for the input brenda but fuck right off

[thatoneqprblog-blog]

I would just like to say that I love you all for this idea.

You can also pretend you’re resisting the Imperius curse, I do that sometimes.

“Next time you go past the deep fryer, stick your hands right in the hot oil.”

“Why? Stupid thing to do really. No, I don’t think I will, thanks.”

[asperwolf]

I’m going to queue this forever since it’s a coping mechanism that might actually help me and i keep forgetting about it

[marauders70s]

Imagine saying all your fears/self doubt aloud to Mad Eye Moody. “’Scuse me,” he growled. “You’ve got strengths if I SAY you’ve got them.” And when you’re anxious and are thinking CONSTANT VIGILANCE he’ll scoff and say, “Why are you doing my job for me, eh?”
