We need to hurry up and fucking jettison the idea that people who go to prison "belong there", because a lot of us are at risk of "belonging there" soon enough.
Prisons by their very nature are oppressive. All prisoners are political prisoners.
Look, if we intend to make it through all the chaos that is coming, a lot of us need to start thinking in terms of liberation in a big way. We need transformative justice not imprisonment & slavery.
We can't be squeamish now. We can't clutch our pearls over "criminality" as defined by a State that exerts violent control over us all.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as our prisons are still standing, we haven't yet done enough to vanquish fascism. You have to burn the roots.
Dear liberals (if any of you are reading), please for the sake of us all, we need you to get over your fear of "criminals" as a class of person.
We need you to trust that we can build a better society that deals with violence, when it occurs, differently. For that matter, we already know that "crime" decreases when poverty decreases, so our "crime" problem is primarily a poverty problem!
Your imagination can't possibly be so poor that you can't even *faintly imagine* a future without retributive punishment & imprisonment. I *know* you have more creativity than that. Come on!
Interestingly, I'm definitely a liberal and also am completely 100% aware of the obvious fact that you mention.
See also: - Healthcare should not be provided by the market because it's nondiscretionary - Imprisoning people is almost always counterproductive - Benefits shouldn't be means-tested
By the way, what do you think โliberalโ means?
Instead of thinking of them as "criminals" think of them as "desperate people pushed to the brink by an uncaring system" and that should motivate you the right way. Yes, there are actual people out there who want to hurt you. Most of them are already in positions of power or are seeking them out but you probably weren't thinking about that kind of crime even though you are far more likely to be a victim of it. You are probably already a victim of multiple crimes of that type. Go after them. They are the criminals stalking you and targeting you. Not a guy living in his car or the person begging for food. That could be you. That could be you. One medical emergency, one weather disaster, one layoff -- that could be you.
Yep. The segments of society who feel the most excluded, will inevitably feel less bound by the "social contract" (because it was already torn up for them!) and the laws of society. That should be obvious, but the NIMBYs' first instinct is always harsher policing and increased gentrification to shield them from the hordes at the gates.
Preventing such stratification is one important reason there are no private schools in Finland.
Education in Finland produces top tier students that works for everyone. 93 percent of Finns graduate from high school and there are no private schools.
When former Republicans understand that a goal of just going back to the way things were isn't enough, it shouldn't be this hard to convince everyone else.

Now in College, #LudditeTeens Still Donโt Want Your Likes
Three years after starting a club meant to fight #SocialMediaโs grip on young people, many original members are holding firm and gaining new converts.
By Alex Vadukul Jan. 30, 2025
"Biruk Watling, a college sophomore wearing a baggy coat and purple fingerless gloves, walked the chilly campus of Temple University in #Philadelphia on a recent afternoon to recruit new members to her club. She taped a flier to a pole: '#JoinTheLudditeClub For #MeaningfulConnections.' Down the block, she posted another one: 'Do You Desire a Healthier Relationship With Technology, Especially Social Media? The Luddite Club Welcomes You and Your Ideas.'
"When a student approached, Ms. Watling dove into her pitch.
"She pulled out a #FlipPhone, mystifying her recruit.
"'We use these,' she said. 'This has been the most freeing experience of my life.' If Ms. Watling had a missionaryโs zeal, it was because she wasnโt just promoting a student club, but an approach to modern life that profoundly changed her two years ago, when she helped form the Luddite Club as a high school student in New York.
"But that was then, back when things were simpler, before she had embarked on the more independent life of a college student and found herself having to navigate QR codes, two-factor-identification logins, dating apps and other digital staples of campus life.
"The #LudditeClub was the subject of an article I wrote in 2022 โ a story that, ironically, went viral. It told of how a group of teenage tech skeptics from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn and a few other schools in the city gathered on weekends in Prospect Park to enjoy some time together away from the machine.
"They #sketched and #painted side by side. They read quietly, favoring works by #Dostoyevsky, #Kerouac and #Vonnegut. They sat on logs and groused about how #TikTok was dumbing down their generation. Their flip phones were decorated with stickers and nail polish.
"Readers inspired by their message responded in hundreds of emails and comments. Reporters from Germany, Brazil, Japan and elsewhere flooded my inbox, asking me how to reach these students who were so hard to track down online. Snarky Reddit threads and think pieces sprouted. #RalphNader endorsed the club in an opinion essay, writing: 'This is a rebellion that needs support and diffusion.'"
"Itโs really important for a kid to be left alone"- When #TaikaWaititi made his feelings clear about the role of tech in children's lives
By Sourav Chakraborty Modified May 03, 2025 04:54 GMT
" 'Exactly, now theyโve all got iPads and itโs done for them! I think itโs really important for a kid to be left alone and left to figure it out for themselves how to pass the time. As a kid, I spent so much time bored and coming up with ideas of how to do things, so Iโd write stories or Iโd draw pictures or invent worlds through drawing or just in my head, just thinking about things. I think that a lot of my creativity has really come from being bored.' " [SO TRUE!!!]
Taika Waititi has built an impressive career as a filmmaker and actor, working across various genres. He has earned major awards, including an Academy Award, a BAFTA, and a Grammy.
Hi, I'm Owen, he/him, a 40-something queer geek on the autism spectrum based near London, GB (for now). I work in civic tech during the day and Queering Wikipedia during my spare time, plus watching lots of film and TV and reading lots of queer books. I'm polyamorous, married to a bi woman, live with 2 cats & I have a boyfriend who lives too damn far away.
>and Queering Wikipedia during my spare time >I use my spare time to set homosexuality-inducing landmines on Wikipedia because I know children will come across them and end up a failed faggot like myself
>I'm polyamorous, married to a bi woman >I get fucked around on by a dyke bitch with a nosering that ironically is a symbol of control for cattle who convinced me her happiness was based around my total inadequacy as a partner and I've developed a perverse sense of joy around how I get fucked around on, having convinced ourselves that we both are "free"
>& I have a boyfriend who lives too damn far away. >Dopamine processing is my entire life and I suck cocks and am gay and am a faggot and am also a homosexual who likes dicks I am mentally ill
No you're a faggot who shares his wife with other dudes. Stop being a faggot. If you're gonna be poly, be a polygamist but oh wait you can't because you're too busy sucking dicks with your ass to look at women

So this meat tastes good, but I called $$$$$ to see how their meat was treated before the animal was killed packaged and sent here. An extremely contradictory and dodgy phone call. First I was told the meat was "natural," so that sounds ok, the lady told me the animals were treated respectably, and they weren't given pesticides.
Do these bluecry douchebags have nothing better to do than harrass a butcher shop?
If your a fucking vegan don't go to the butcher shop!
@Arthur_500 Just a small factoid, the vegamites keep telling us red meat is bad for our health. The nation with the highest red meat consumption per capita is Japan. The nation with the longest life expectancy is Japan. You can buy this crap and eat Bill Gates artificial meat if you like, I'll pass.

if Trump was on the list, Biden's admin would've had that released day one. My guess to why they pussied out is that the list shows ties to Mossad and other Israeli assets.

@verita84 I came to this conclusion and elaborated so a long time ago and with a lot less information. Glad Tucker Carlson has investigated deeper, hope to see some Mossad and CIA go to prison.
We're being run by an elite group of unaccountable sadistic rapists and paedophiles. But what if 1 of them has an "R" next to his name? Oh no! what ever will we do? Guess we just have to let them all off. Otherwise someone might raise my taxes.
@Sir Nedwood Yes but I know it's likely to send at least as many DemonRats to prison because, as Tucker Carlson pointed out, Biden administration had the Epstein list, if Trump were implicated do you think he would not have leaked it?
In the last three days, two ships, the Greek ship "Tutor" and Ukrainian ship "Verbena," are at risk of sinking due to Yemeni Armed Forces operations targeting them in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
"Tutor" was, for the first time, directly hit by a naval drone that barreled into the engine room. Its crew abandoned ship two days later. "Verbena," on the other hand, was targeted with missiles, and its crew abandoned the ship today two days after it was targeted. These operations came in response to the ships' companies violating the Yemeni ban on ports of occupied #Palestine. #yemen #Solidarity #houthi #houti

ICE is attacking immigrants for now, but their goal is to subjugate all of us. Fighting for our neighbors today is a way of fighting for ourselves tomorrow.
Map the infrastructure that ICE depends on. Publicize their vulnerabilities. Popularize simple, reproducible ways to impose consequences every time that ICE inflicts harm on a community. Don't just react to their attacksโchoose the time and place of confrontations. Take the initiative.
"If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name.

The Zionist Interior Minister, Moshe Arbel, has banned anti-Zionist Rabbi Yisroel [Dovid] Weiss from entering occupied Palestine just hours after a meeting between the rabbi and Iranโs Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi. During the meeting, Rabbi Weiss conveyed a message of solidarity with the people of Iran in light of recent Israeli military aggression against the country. He also expressed the stance of the Jewish opposition to Zionism and its crimes.
This move by the Israeli government reflects its growing intolerance toward dissenting voices, particularly those who publicly criticize its policies or engage with nations considered adversaries.
In response to the ban imposed upon him, Rabbi Weiss issued a powerful statement:
โAdvocating for peace should not be a crime. However, in the Zionist entity, it clearly isโbecause Zionism thrives on war and conflict. Its very existence goes against the will of God. It depends on occupation, murder, and crimes.โ
He continued, โI do not expect permission from the Zionists to enter Palestine. Thieves do not get to decide who enters stolen property. I have never visited the Zionist entity, nor do I plan to visit occupied Palestine as long as it remains under Zionist control.โ
He added: โIn the past, I visited Gaza for humanitarian reasons, entering through Rafah. I am prepared to visit a liberated Palestine in the futureโwith permission from its legitimate Palestinian government.โ
