Yo dude I’m sorry but at this point what do you think that “exposing corruption” is going to do? Right wingers want the cops to execute too much force because they don’t see you as human. You’re gonna change their mind? Have you learned anything?
Minneapolis got the vote to have their police dissolved and then just Fucking didnt because everyone stopped paying attention. 7/9 Seattle city council members committed to cutting the PD budget in half and then just didn’t do that at all. Can we please switch strategy
Imagine if we were actually committed to working outside of the infrastructure of mass capitol. Imagine if all the bail fund money went into worker owned factories. Imagine if we just said PEACE!!! I’M GOOD!!! Imagine if we didn’t fucking crucify each other Over minor differences
But just like occupy, just like all these fucking movements people have shown that they’re not willing to walk away, so all they can do is ask to speak to the manager of America via petitions and bullshit. Sorry if this makes you mad but i dont think im wrong
You can’t start a negotiation without threatening to leave. And everyone has shown that that’s not what they’re willing to do. The body count of these demonstrations continues to rise and for what? “Laying the groundwork for change”. Fuck the groundwork & fuck liberalism
Fuck emailing your senator
Fuck analyzing Hong Kong tactics
Fuck your rent strike
Fuck raising money to buy stamps
Fuck your petition thread
Fuck “community based policing”
Fuck apologizing for abolition
Fuck “ruining it for the peaceful protestors”

NOTHING. HAPPENED.
And yeah I bought into it too! And I’m not downplaying genuine place that these actions came from but fuck like things are going to continue to not happen if we don’t change tactics
