T. S. Eliot â The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
âI think all of us want to feel something that weâve forgotten or turned our backs on because maybe we didnât realize how much we were leaving behind. We need to remember what used to be good. If we donât, we wonât recognize it even if it hits us between the eyes.â
âthank youâ plastic bags are so aesthetic
Nah dude, some police are genuinely trying to make the world a better place. They go through a lot of shit so that they can try and help people. I hate most of the shit police do. I don't like being told what to do either. But people are fucking killing cops. That's people killin people and it's fucked. You're the death of your own cause if you condone violence and murder ya dumb fuck. Black lives matter, let's protect them by not murdering good people and giving nazis any sort of argument.
Gonna break down this response as clearly as possible.Â
The origins of the police are evil.Â
It has been shown repeatedly that the police were formed to oppress the working class and (1, 2) and enforce white supremacy (1, 2, 3). In fact, the early U.S. police grew directly out of slavery.
The police arenât the people you think they are.
The police donât care about you â they donât even have a constitutional duty to protect you. Theyâre allowed to take your property without your consent (the NYPD seizes so much property they canât even log it in their computers). In fact, cops are more likely to steal your property than burglars are. They commit hundreds of crimes and human rights violations against people like you & me and get away with it because they cover for each other.
Cops tend to be unusually aggressive, authoritarian, and secretive (Greene & Heilbrun, 2011). They are more than twice as likely to commit domestic violence than the rest of the population, and (once again) they cover for each other when doing so. The police are on the side of neo-Nazis (1, 2). In fact, many times the police themselves are the neo-Nazis/klansmen (1, 2, 3). And even besides all this, cops do all kinds of other shady shit â for instance, undercover police are used to instigate fights during protests and rallies.
The police terrorize those of us who are marginalized.
The police disproportionately arrest Black people for drugs even though white people use drugs more often. They disproportionately pull Black people over for traffic stops. The police terrorize people with disabilities.They are viciously anti-indigenous â and always have been. Police terrorize sex workers. There are countless examples of police brutalizing homeless people (1, 2, 3). The police have a lengthy history of brutality against the LGBT community (1, 2). They terrorize women of color and get away with it (1, 2, 3). They kill massive numbers of people each year â and a disproportionate number of their victims are Black and native. On top of that, recent data suggests cops may kill up to twice as many people as we even thought they did. And while police love to defend themselves by saying they have the most dangerous job, thatâs not even close to being true.
The policeâs best kept secret: We donât need them!Â
A world without the police is completely possible (1, 2, 3, 4). We have resources for resolving violence as communities without the need for state intervention (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 â as some examples). We as communities are better capable of resolving violence than the police are, because we donât have the vested interest in the status quo that they have. Even if a few cops are well-intentioned here or there, it doesnât change that the role of the police is to work against the vast majority of us in the interests of the (white) elite few.Â
Why are you so invested in the police when they are complicit in your dehumanization?
also, if you missed it, chris redd from SNL put together a gofoundme to help black protestors who might test positive for covid-19 in the upcoming weeks as well as pay for urgent medical care for those severely hurt during the riots.
banish the idea that platonic love is a lesser form of love
if you go through life not investing in your friendships the same way you invest in romantic relationships, you will always be looking for love, feeling lonely, completely blind to the love all around you
friendship is not a lower level relationship. it is not a lesser form of love.
for anyone that needs medical help today

being apolitical is being complicit. being silent is being complicit. being indifferent is being complicit. black lives matter. black lives matter. black lives matter.
