“Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.” -- Discworld (Snuff)
i hate the cops so much, so much. they are never there for you, they will never help you, they are never on your side. you can trust on their appearance to take a situation from bad to catastrophic. they are the same everywhere on earth, just presented with different means and opportunities. they beat their women. they are stupid and don't understand directions from higher up, and they won't obey them if they don't want to anyhow. they will lie, and they will lie in court. they rape their own colleagues. they brutalize prisoners. they will murder any good apples. they are not just aligned with white supremacists — they are white supremacists. they are worse than trumpists. and they hate you, personally! everyone using this website is a target. they will go after someone even if they're on their side. they are vermin, human scum. the most neutral position you can take is to steer clear of them.
several times a day i will come across a post that i would otherwise agree with about a Thing Being Bad but it is unfortunately like inexplicably linked to a reactionary societal decay narrative for like no reason whatsoever
*ripping open my skin and speaking through mouthfuls of blood, acting as a symbol of the mistakes you made along the way and reminding you of your failure to protect me*
modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options
