    Rikers just entered the chat

    Yeah I know these are prison guards but it is all part of the same elegantly designed machine of violence, just a different part of the loop.

    Sure we can disguise the cleansing in hate for the homeless and poor and call it a coincidence that the system specifically targets minorities in a dizzying variety of ways but shrugs

    Besides, you ever talk to a cop when they think you are part of the same club as them? Don’t underestimate violence and the passionate belief driving that violence just because it has been systematically normalized.

      Again ACAB but Rikers isn’t owned by the NYPD and although both operate under the governing bodies of New York it doesn’t really gain that much ground in this discussion because the point is the NYPD will not do what Russia would do. Again, if this is a foreign adversary I do in fact trust the NYPD over them. I trust a rabid guard dog over a polar bear that is mad at me, especially if the polar bear is probably also mad at the guard dog too. The enemy of my enemy and all that.

        “Again, if this is a foreign adversary”

        What makes you so sure people from other places are that much more likely to want to hurt you than people from this very country?

        I don’t think you are actually paying attention if you think that, what is far more likely is rightwing violence will hurt you here and the “foreign adversaries” who are rich and conservative who you are so afraid of will look on and say “hmm I like that, we are going to have to try that in this country!” and they will call up the very people you seem to think will protect you from those people and talk shop about how to best subjugate, oppress and erase you, me and every other unwanted person.

        Your understanding of the world has things totally locked into a nationalistic framing which is useless in this moment for understanding how violence is actually likely to reach out and touch you.
