#prosecuting evil

[wack-ashimself]

Had a continuous dream, which is near impossible for me. I had part one of this dream within the past few days. Last night, the sequel.

It was like a cheesy tv show premise: Prosecuting evil. Basically, I was part of a holy court system that puts on trail the most evil things/people to ever exist, and see if they should be locked up/damned for a few 100/1000/10000s of years (depending on the crimeS). Part of this whole thing was not only you could not end/kill evil, but, you couldn't banish it forever either. It could still change/grow/evolve.

But...it never happened. Lol We all talked about it, got the court ready, but most of the dream was either: containing evil at its' source (like a jail cell), so it can't escape and reek more havoc AND blessing/enriching/preparing the court to handle the specific evil we're going to prosecute when it gets there (so it doesn't infect/influence the rest of us).

It was unlike any 'justice' system we have cuz there was no lies. No exaggerating. No filtering the court OR the evidence. It was the RAW truth; the good with the bad. No one (even the court) could hide anything; it was all on the table. That's why I loved this dream: TRUE justice was inescapable.

May be a stretch but it would be interesting if one of the Bats got arrested and then released without real charges because Harvey pulled every string he had at the DA's office so nobody prosecuted.

Something I said that was extremely poignant and quick way to shut someone who was trying to moralize voting third party was reminding them well two things from two separate comment sections

A point I've heard many a Time from many different people so I will not try and pretend like the opinion is mine, the people who think that voting third party and being revolutionaries will actually work are able-bodied people who have never felt the sting of systemic prejudice or just a single of the MANY deeply intersectional prejudices and So can only conceptualize themselves as the katniss, the main character from maze runner cuz I don't remember his name, that type of shit. They want to be the one that walks up on the bodies and is the one that finally is the one that does the thing. The problem is is they never once conceptualize who those bodies are. And we people who would be in that pile that they would be climbing on to finally "win the day", would really rather make the option that would allow us to work together instead of violent destructive coup that will leave no one left that was actually in the groupings that most of the previous choices were made to try and mitigate the dangers towards.

Cuz now we shift over to the other point, people are acting like the disabled, or queer, or POC or all of the above folk who are desperately not wanting people to choose the option that will actually just directly lead to their death and or removal of Rights are fear-mongering or being manipulative for daring to be mean or sound too upset about it. It's literally just fucking tone policing and it's wild that people are just pretending like it's not. When disabled queer folk tell you that this person that is actively trying to get us killed wants us killed and it said such themselves you should probably not choose the option that's going to make them have the absolute power to do whatever the fuck they want including and directly bleeding to the exact thing they have only said they will do with that power alongside also obfuscating any sort of information to its people and making things worse worse just everywhere that we have our fucking decrepit creepy ass American fingers in.

But that's also my third thing I completely forgot about this one Joe was voted in so that the able-bodied people capable of making changes and doing things could go and try and do things and then none of those things happened and less happened actually and things were taken away, And yet somehow people are trying to say that the people who are only voting this option because the last time the last option that was voted to do anything to help us just no one did anything the entire time and now we're the bad guys for the situation that happened cuz we wanted to vote in the guy that was supposed to just be there cuz he was inept enough to where the people could try and work with the communities that needed help and then none of that fucking happened and things just got worse and yet somehow the people that are actively suffering the most and we're only trying to get help because of the choices made by others are now the ones at fault for daring to want to make the choice that won't lead to their direct deaths. Like Jesus fucking Christ get over yourself vote blue.

There's a whole conversation happening in that look 🤣

although it is often inaccurately used as a kind of shorthand description, the term "proxy war" does not actually apply to the war in ukraine. but i do think you have to have your head entirely inside your ass to reject the idea that the conflict at its heart is about spheres of influence.

I've tried. I've tried for years. Prison absolution is not only not something I agree with, but its a harmful aim. Its fucking paradox of tolerance shit, ok? For people to be free, some people must not be free. I am on board with reform, I am OK with imprisonment being so fucking rare that prisons must be closed and house arrest is the only way to do it. But I simply cannot bring myself to agree that no one should be imprisoned. I firmly believe that is an immoral and dangerous view that only condemns victims to glorified imprisonment in their everyday lives. Not everyone can be fixed. Some people are just evil and will hurt people unless you stop them doing it. I've tried! I've tried to be a good prison abolitionist leftist! I've weighed the arguments! But the "solutions" are not applicable to the real world I live in.

A new, fascinating account of the life of Agatha Christie from celebrated literary and cultural historian Lucy Worsley. “Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.” Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was “just” an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn’t?  Her life is fascinating for its mysteries and its passions and, as Lucy Worsley…

also btw i think a lot of things would be fixed if we stopped trying to make my babygirl (manfred) out to be more than he is. at the end of the day he really is just Some Guy and i appreciate that so much.

Why do they read rapist and immediately think ‘this will hurt lgbt people’

on one end i can agree that the state cannot be trusted to treat such a precedent like "allow human experimentations on a certain group of people" well and honestly and transparently. and that creating such a precedent will ultimately result in minority groups being disproportionately impacted bc there is already a bias in who gets incarcerated and punished. on another end, rapists are notoriously hardly ever prosecuted so like while its a nice idea in theory to have them suffer for putting others thru often lifelong suffering, theres a good chance actual rapists still wont face consequences bc they already overwhelmingly barely even see a day in jail. and then lastly its true that sometimes homophobes will use language like "groomers" and "predators" to refer to innocent things like idk giving children basic sex ed and that sex ed including conversation about sexual orientation & safe sex in same sex relationships (bc shocker, ppl of diff sexual orientations will exist whether kids know the terms for it or not & safe sex is important for the well-being of ppl of all sexualities not just OSA people). so i kinda get their arguments ngl, i think the justice system and the prison industrial complex would have to change significantly before we can even entertain an idea as potentially dangerous as "we should allow human experimentation on this group of incarcerated peoples"

I was playing Telltale and it hit me that Harvey Dent has an atrocious dating life across Batman media. It includes Gilda, Selina Kyle, Pamela Isley, Janice Porter, something messy with Renee Montoya, I throw Bruce Wayne in there because it just makes sense with this man's disastrous choices in partners.

You know what? I'm a fucking say it

art Is in fact inherently political and if you don't understand that you don't understand art. Art has always been the passage way of Freedom And liberation

And if you're afraid of new art mediums and new ways of creating art, you're just scared of the future and said rebellion and liberation.

There's a reason why Leonardo da Vinci, a self-described engineer is most remembered as an artist
