@progregressions plus nyc dsa has masses of intrinsically motivated volunteers, who build social relationships through their work and advance in the decentralized leadership structure of the org, vs a campaign without any of that, also trying to promote a shittier message
@escargotpro_ it's a pure "i was annoyed about one couple i saw somewhere" type shitpost, something better kept offline and vented to a friend, but the sentiment + having said something dumb online in the past is probably something many voters found relatable rather than off putting.
@GramsciGordon@Soupup “i got here the same way the coin did” = him saying there is no free will, i have no choice but to go around killing people, the idea people have that i do have a choice (“you don’t have to do this”) is an illusion
@patchyhistory@Will3316@FACEE444@ideologicalized for you, what answer ever could be satisfying? if you like prisons as they are now (or at least you firmly believe nothing could be better) it wouldn't be possible, right?
@patchyhistory@Will3316@FACEE444@ideologicalized abolition at its best is a vision of actual accountability, whereas now we have mass suffering without accountability, robbing time from millions of people, for profit, and making the world less safe than it could be.
@patchyhistory@Will3316@FACEE444@ideologicalized they ask “what should happen to somebody who has killed somebody else?” which could invite a general “in a society” answer. but instead of letting her answer that, they immediately go on to make it about a specific case of a murder sentencing last week. if you want a literal FAQ:
@skywsabreadroll or the reason was that her own brother made a false confession to point the finger at her instead of at his wife. good husband, extremely bad brother, i guess. and then the reason to execute her was to punish Julius for not naming names.
@Will3316@FACEE444@ideologicalized it’s designed to not be answered. “what about this idea i made up that you aren’t saying?” “i’m not saying that.” “but indulge me. what if you were, what then?” “but i’m not.” “why won’t you answer me?”
@cannibal_saints@idkijustthibk the system is overall pro-rape, it just wants a structure where the right people get to rape and the right victims get raped. a rapist is only punished when he violates the structure
@FACEE444@ideologicalized it’s standard prison abolition FAQ stuff, which is that “should we just let murderers + rapists go free, tomorrow, while changing nothing else about our society?” is a phony question, not what abolitionists are advocating for, and many murders and rapes go unpunished today
