Excited to find the western chauvinists in this community.

Edit: Wow apparently the only people on chapo dot chat are whitees unaffected by and benefiting from their imperialism confidently declaring how the perpetrators are to be treated.
Y'all have some nerve

ITT If you shoot a black kid in the back in downtown Baltimore I want nothing to do with you. If you perfarate an entire back family in Mogadischu or Baghdad that's ok, you did growth and spaces.

I'm perpetually fascinated by people here who tout ACAB while also twisting themselves into pretzels to excuse soldiers. I guess being complicit in a system that terrorizes the poor, minorities, and marginalized groups while acting as armed forces of capital is bad on US soil, but excusable overseas? Am I understanding this right?

We're talking about people who used to be soldiers.

ACAB applies to people who are currently cops, if they are "good" and quit, then they are no longer cops.

Hmm. Personally I don't even agree with that statement, but wouldn't it be more apt to compare vets to cops that have retired and taken a pension and shit? Like most soldiers don't quit, their contract ends. Does ACAB not apply to retired cops?

I'm trying to have a good faith talk here

I don't necessarily agree either, just trying to clarify the position.

Current cops -> bad (no real way to become "good")
resigned cops who become good one way or another -> mostly good

active duty soldiers -> bad?
veterans who become good later -> whatever this thread decides, ig
