Fuck it, from where I come from: people in agriculture get smacked just by existing or trying to build common cause with "let's end hunger in the world". I'm with you, salutations from America Latina ! And let's make those fuckers get what they deserve.
Man, capitalism is just fucking wild, isn't it?
Shit man, I feel this picture
Just a clarification:
You will not be called a "bootlicker" because you support think cops are there to protect you. That's something reasonable to believe.
You will be called a "bootlicker" because you are in support of the state, which defends the interest of those in power (aka. political class, "the rich," bourgeoisie, etc) and its soldiers, which are cops.
I mean no harm; I'm not calling you a "bootlicker." You are a decent human just sharing your experience. I want to bring "the other side" perspective in a friendly way. I was thinking like you until I was at the other end of their macanas for helping other decent people.
The ACAB is a widespread movement in South America and has good reasons to exist since it is adjacent to Antifa. But the overall reason to hate cops is based on the argument that I explained before in a very brief way.
Since I abide by the movement, I invite you to check it out so you can engage more deeply in the conversation. For a starter, I may interest you in:
- The excellent channel of Philosophy Tube (that has some fascinating videos of other topics, 10/10) and her video about How Police Make Up The Law (ft. LegalEagle) or this one Violence & Protest. Her work is highly focused on going in-depth to help you understand the arguments about various positions, such as philosophical dialogs, with a bit of theatrics to keep it interesting.
- Or if you are shorter on time and are up for some more humor, check out Thought Slime video about "All Cops are Bad" where he navigates the subject.
And sorry for not sharing other voices outside the anglosphere who cover the topic. It is just that they don't speak English, so we can't understand each other.
Take care, fellow stranger.
This one I think is not mad enough. At least compared with some jewels shared here hahaha
Why wait for Windows to change when you can get Linux? ;)
I think there is no reason to not lie at your resume while you are confident you can do the task. Most jobs out there are pretty BS anyway.
4Chan makes my stomach hurt.
Soon your crew will be serving sandwiches named after me (8)
Once you go FOSS, you never go back.
Agree. And it is an unnecessary wall to go through for most people. Printing a Menu is really simple.
This happens to me pretty frequently.
I think is alright, language is a bridge and sometimes we feel more comfortable speaking our native language than others. But I don't really mind speaking in English or Spanish with people I meet in Brazil. But the moment of realization that you are talking with another native speaker is always full of joy.
#feels-nice to speak with other bilingual or polyglots :)
