well yeah. the point is to make the cops have more excuses to harm communities.
There have been so many cops everywhere the past fucking week where I live. I am so terrified.
I started using men’s restrooms in 2013. No one ever cared. No one has ever cared.
I used to travel a lot across my state - I like going to wonky small towns, dragged ex’s to places like the Spiro Mounds, wanted to explore the ghost town of Picher, had adventures with foster children in Arkansas…. but I have to stay in a city now.
It’s like a video game map now. Hubworlds are safe, the cops will be noticed if they do something and are at least dimly aware of that. But travel could cause a random encounter, with multiple deeply unpleasant outcomes.
That is why they do that shit. It’s stochastic terrorism. At least when I was a kid crying in terror over 9/11, the world was telling me that it was happening and it was real.
Well, like a video game, time to arm up and train for potential random encounters. I'd like to the see the people start winning some of these encounters. These cowards will draw back as soon as they get bit.
I play like Morrowind. I stay in safe areas and do low level small quests. I stick up and prepare before a journey. I try to join small factions for both missions and protections.
A gunfight would quickly end with me dead, and there would be no way of changing the story. If I was armed, it would be easy to tell all kinds of stories about what happens. I know cops lie.
I have zero interest in violence. Being a queer kid in Oklahoma has already resulted in experiencing physical violence at multiple points in my life. I have spent more time learning to make a punch hurt less than I have learning to throw them. Any point where retaliation has been attempted makes the punches harder, and garners me more other consequences. It’s easier to show people your gashes if they cannot reveal a bruise.
Dude it’s so fucked that it takes so much effort to just live as yourself. I am so sorry. :c
No, they won't. They will escalate. And feel righteous doing it.
stay safe and stay strong. if someone asks just tell them to stop sexually assaulting you and know your state’s self defense doctrine.
just. ugh. stay strong. i dont know what else to say. 🫂
30 years of making us listen to your dumb ass “France surrenders” jokes and you guys are just cowering now, aren’t you?
Jesus Christ, America. DO SOMETHING.
Nobody is coming to save you. This is your fucking fight and you aren’t showing up.
Most people make fun of France because of dumb reasons like that. I make fun of France for their evil imperialism that gets too often overlooked in America.
But in all seriousness, the only thing we could do to stop this current mess is behead the king, and the US military is more than capable of destroying any large scale effort. I think targeting nobility could be a decent alternative, but I'm physically incapable personally.
Now that the corpos dumped us we have exactly 0 reason to hold back. It's team to return pride to it's roots
