Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.

It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.

It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.

This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.

June’s postcards have arrived!!!! Tested out a matte finish for both and they turned out so good!!!

Today is the last day you can snag em by signing up to my patreon’s loveletter tier :3 and of course, you’ll get a special sam/bianca envelope with your letter🩷💚

The postcard on the left side is an older drawing I have of these bozos, its one of my first illustrations of them that truly cemented their silly and fun dynamic. I wanted to include it for this month’s lettermail as a freebie! Meanwhile, the postcard on the right is a new illustration meant to be truly for June’s postcard club!

Also P.S. it’s not just postcards you’ll receive by signing up, I also post all my artwork of them there fully uncensored :3. If you’re only interested in those, then you can hit up the Yearning tier!
