What is that godforsaken place :sadness-abysmal:

Literally nothing they say even sounds liberal it was just pure chud brain seepage with a couple leftist words thrown in there.

Can someone explain what I just looked at? because I have no clue.

    Given that many cops/military folks come from working class backgrounds, it's fertile soil. My enemy is not the police or the military, it's the class that controls them.

      Down side is, when it comes down to it, folks who were in the professions that I used to be in would likely kill/injure/harrass the folks that I chat with now.

      Its like dogs, sure, we don't want to see a dog hurt. But turn that dog into a weapon and let it loose and you'd be a fool to treat a dog as an innocent animal instead of a direct threat to your life.

        You're absolutely right imo. We shouldn't have an attitude of fake universalism where everyone and anyone is welcome because we're all in this together and all that bs. Any organization should ruthlessly vet all its members, especially cops.

        But as a beaten down american, I'm used to being pulled over once a month and having my car searched twice a year. But with the coronavirus and George Floyd protests, they backed off. I remember this one mf last august who pulled me over. He straight up told me "who said anything about a ticket, you're being really nice to me." The most pathetic thing I've heard from a man in uniform.

        Most of them are literally dogs. they just want approval from their bosses AND 'the people they help keep safe.' If the country gets to another crisis where they begin to question who they really serve, I cant imagine a more profitable fault line to exploit.

        They're literally dogs trained to do what they're ordered to do. Why wouldn't you want the few authentic ones on your side?

          Its the "when" we figure out we're on the wrong side of history that needs to be paid attention to.

          While I was in uniform, with a complete lack of political philosophy, body armor on my chest and a rifle at my shoulder, you absolutely shouldn't have viewed me as anything less than your enemy.

          After I had been places and seen things and managed to get the fuck out... it still took me 15ish years stumbling around looking for some type of political philosophy that didn't make me feel like a monster. Now it's probably safe to place some trust in me.

          I guess I'm less trying to say that you're wrong and more trying to express my feelings from my experiences.
