@Peace4all17@Imani_Barbarin 1) do the inner-work so you can unlearn abusiveness and be accountable, that's step 1 to a better world
2) participate in mutual aid networks so we can fucking survive
3) votes are ~supposed~ to be conditional
4) stop asking people, particularly Black people, for free labor
@1nvyncibleONE @0ldman_logan even as a critique of fascism and men's fragility, this story glorified abusiveness which has real life consequences
who could've fuckin guessed ?🤷♂️
@SoWhy @jglewis1983 @CoryJo9417@AnnieBa93698267@PolarJohan15@HC_Richardson Identifying abuse in real life begins with understanding that it's a one-way power structure (police, courts, prisons, jails, politicians, corporations, etc.)
Much like manufacturing and selling war and weaponry as solutions to problems, punitive policies serve only capitalism
@SoWhy @jglewis1983 @CoryJo9417@AnnieBa93698267@PolarJohan15@HC_Richardson When money = life then financial penalties are meant to take life away from the impoverished... that's torturous
and it's not justice since further impoverishment causes even more "crime"
Let alone crime is a social construct that rarely applies to the ruling class

@haredottir @Kamala68873758 @Imani_Barbarin The fact that fascism and capitalism and anti-Blackness and ableism and more all go hand-in-hand needs to be centered most often in our views of USA past and present
We gotta stop talking about ourselves as if we haven't always been fascist
@southernstonerd@MymanMillz@domislivenews Colonizers and the abled and the relatively rich are the source of that reaction, but Ultron wanted to take everyone down for it?
That's some bullshit lol
I bet the vast majority of us whites feel our thought process is totally natural
In reality our brains have been trained to be utterly abusive in our deductions
An entire system exists to justify & enforce our deductions so although anyone can white-speak it isn't all the same

this is white-speak
anyone can speak it fluently, the point is to not know or not care about how much harm is behind your words
I'm learning to identify that harm, and here I see: abuse apologia, tone policing, a natural assumption of good-intent in whites, ahistory, liberalism
@Imani_Barbarin We have to unify & let Biden & the Dems know we expect them to control & eventually eliminate covid by forging a global partnership. If we demand protections & they ignore us we have to organize peaceful protests, strikes & divestment campaigns.
@CoryJo9417 @jglewis1983 @AnnieBa93698267@PolarJohan15@HC_Richardson That "early warning signs of fascism" you retweeted recently has "obsession with crime and punishment" as one early warning sign that you seem to have skipped
Your thought process contains warnings of fascism
@CoryJo9417 @jglewis1983 @AnnieBa93698267@PolarJohan15@HC_Richardson Penalties aren't preventative and police never face penalties anyway lol
I hope you don't raise your kid with that punitive mindset of yours.
Might be too late. You're already heading for "why don't my adult kids talk to me?"
