In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

Crime and criminal are also social constructs. Criminal becomes a word you use when you want to erase someone's humanity.

I strongly believe that's why so many shows on television are straight up copaganda. They get us to buy in without even realizing we are buying into our own enslavement.

The people who have been committing crimes this whole time have always been mostly good people with bad choices.

If given the choice of a) watching our friends & families suffer or b) doing something illegal, how long do you think it would take some of these NIMBY folks to smash that crime button??

When we say ALL the people, we also mean the incarcerated. The ones who are not getting to vote but are being counted for voter totals in deep red areas to further rig the system, but none of y'all shouting about how people vote seem to ever fight for prisoners' rights.

This system makes people desperate, then punishes them for acting out of desperation. It is the constant Catch-22 of abuser's cruel logic; there's literally no way for you to get it right. You have to constantly live in fear, but thank them for not making it worse. This is the bad place.

Prisons are just the modern day plantations; not hyperbolically or metaphorically, but literally, according to the Constitution that y'all are waving around so much these days as if it's going to protect us.

I guarantee you a document that enshrines slavery in 2025 is not the hero of the story.

They've convinced you that criminals are some special type of human worthy of whatever punishment they receive, even though prison is such a horrifying concept that if we *really* thought about it we would ban them at least for 95% of crimes. The threat of jail is capitalism's Sword of Damocles.

If you saw the video of that rather polite armed robbery recently and thought wow regular people are committing crimes now because times are so bad, you're SO close to getting it

Similar conditions precede fascism & revolution. The biggest difference is whether or not the People correctly identify the source of their problems & direct their ire in the right direction, i.e. against the villains & not the scapegoats.

This is the choice of our time; our moment to get it right.

Now, their plan is to tank the economy so people become even more desperate, since desperate times make people belligerent. What they're hoping is that all the propaganda they have spread about immigrants, LGBTQ ppl, BIPOC, etc kicks in & y'all help them round us up.

Show them they are dead wrong.

I know the news cycle moves fast and all, but do not EVER forget that Elon Musk and Steve Bannon both threw up "Roman" salutes just months ago.

You do not need any more information to know where those is all headed, and that business as usual is a woefully insufficient mindset for this moment.

If 28 people can match me we’ll get so much closer to Mona’s goal 💜

Something I’m seeing a lot is that people still think that misogyny is just a mere character flaw. But it’s actually a social system—one that has agents enacting it, offers incentives to participants, and has clear beneficiaries.
