    When I was in first grade we watched a video about crime statistics where they said "there's 30 of you in this class, so 5 of you aren't going to finish high school, 2 of you are going to die of a drug overdose, and when you're adults, we'll arrest 3 of you" and shit like that. I remember thinking "you can't arrest my classmates, they're my friends and they're not bad guys" and a tiny little ACAB seed was planted that day

      Pretty much. I can't remember having a good experience interacting with cops. Ever. I felt like when they would come to scare us with tough love, it was just an excuse to ID the younger siblings of guys they already had on their radar.

      Sort of weird that my brother is a cop-loving fuckface. We had a very similar upbringing, but he rubs one out to Fox and OANN daily.

        Family is weird like that. My sister helped push me back leftward when I was going through my stemlord phase and she's a huge lib now even though her area of work and study is the feedback cycle of climate change and extractive capitalism. Not as bad as an OANN chud but extremely disheartening all the same
