#pro social

I support sex offenders and murderers who are in recovery because harm does not undo harm and all that stigmatizing and punishing does is tear apart communities and perpetuate trauma cycles

Cops profit off of trauma and violence and their purpose is to reinforce anti social cycles of harm and isolation

Abolish the death penalty, fuck cops, and start caring about your fellow beings.

we happen upon a fellow human being, beat down, tormented, suffering in agony, and we think, “poor thing, hope someone helps them out,” then go on with our day as normal. it’s not our responsibility to help or even to care. the mere expectation that we should care for and about anyone we’re not legally obligated to is seen as exceedingly unfair. caring for and about others is a burden, thankless drudgery, a job someone else should get paid to do for us, someone who is qualified with the proper training and credentials.

those who find themselves in desperate need of others to care for and about them will eventually come to find out that it’s no one’s job to help them or care. so no one does. but everyone they encounter is fully confident that there’s someone, somewhere, whose job it is to do something to help. this unshakable faith that the markets provide an adequate substitute for human social connection allows them to go on with their day, free from any burdensome sense of responsibility toward their fellow human being.
