    But tjose people are so important to society!

    See, the very poor/destitute serve as a triple threat to discipline the working class!

    As an example of what happens when you dont crush yourself into a life of being exploited

    As a release valve for emergency labor-it doesn’t have to actually be viable, just believable to enough prople

    And as a class they can look down on and fear, an enemy to justify the presence of and valirize the practice of policing, especially when they’re forced into close contact. It’s why out of the way camps are violently cleared, but there are tents on sidewalks in major cities.







  • Are you going to engage with my ideas, or try to discredit me by… Saying I’m getting an education?

    I’m confused as to what your argument is here. My best guess is that what I said resonated with you enough to make you uncomfortable, and youre trying to discredit me so you dont have to think about it.

    And I get that. I get trying to stay comfortable, I get trying to cling to what you have and what’s worked to keep it in the past, but we no longer have that luxury. Do not rely on the ‘law’ to protect you. Start looking at alternatives. I know its scary, I know its new, and I know it might require change, but its what we need to get through this. Maybe what you find will end up enriching you long term, if you survive. Change isn’t always bad.

    perfect enemy of the good

    And in many cases, you’re right. I think thats the mistake Lenin and Robespierre made, actually; the biggest one at least, being unable to trust anyone else with making a less autocratic world. I do not believe the founders of the united States were trying to be good. I think they were lying, and pretty comprehensively pieces of shit.

    takes just one to back stab you

    Does it? I think the more you create a tense society balanced on a knifes edge cognitive dissonance of its own contradictions, and the more centralized(undemocratic), the closer it gets to true, but I don’t think it ever gets all the way there.
