ACAB includes Kamala Harris

Alt text: a screenshot of a microblog post with the text "you walking down an alleyway with a gram of weed in your pocket, who would you rather catch you?" Below are two pictures side by side. One of Kamala Harris and the other of Batman.
Said this to the other poster of this shit before getting banned. Who in Russia sent you this? Just wondering where the propaganda farms are there
This is an anarchist community. Anarchism has a long history of advocating for abstentionism, so I don't see why it should be shocking to see it here.
The Case Against Voting - Colin Ward
Who in Russia sent you this?
Death to the Russian government lol. But seriously, assuming that everyone who doesn't know down to your politicians is a Russian agent is needlessly conspiratorial.
Fair, but this feels like it’s really grasping for anything to try and paint Kamala in a bad light and that screams bot farm.
Anarchism has a long history of [advocating for abstentionism]
Yup. And a long history of being ineffectual in making changes on a societal level because of it. Statistically, it's equivalent to supporting the worst outcomes and building roadblocks to achieving the sustainable systems necessary to support humanity while dismantling unjust hierarchies. Anti-electoralism is so fallacious with the data for context that it nearly seems like a right-wing ploy to suppress leftist voices.
In fact, this meme is really on-point for this perennial problem and regular Denying the Correlative ("vote third party"). The realistic version would be "which person would you rather meet in an alley when you have drugs on you: a former prosecutor, a nazi, or an imaginary character bourgeois character with Superman Syndrome that isn't a real choice but counts in favor of the Nazi."
Too many fellow anarchists are happy in their ivory towers, pretending that inaction isn't a choice, and choosing ideological purity over using every tool in the box to keep the patient from dying while treating the sickness. There's more than enough of us to overwhelm the Right.
Bro I've literally donated my own money to people killing Russian invaders. But yes everyone who criticizes your favorite politician is a Russian bot & using that card to try to shutdown even the smallest critisism of those in power doesn't have a corrosive affect on political discourse in the west thereby serving Putin's aims.
As much fun as it is to go that route, most farms today are run out of China and India. I mean there are still putinbots but not nearly in the numbers there was in 2016.
They're all pushing similar frameworks so it doesn't matter as much where they originate from, they are all using the same playbook.
Pretty sire she’s not a cop sooooooo
Its still batman, he’s got bigger things to worry about
She's not a cop anymore. She was the DA of San Francisco in 2004-2011, and she was the Attorney General of California from 2011-2017. She was responsible for prosecuting people, and lead an effort to police black and poor families harder. She also was directly responsible for transgender inmates having their gender-confirming surgeries withheld. Also remember that time she mocked people chanting "schools not jails"?
Which part of that was her being a cop?
And her opposition is a fascist, a felon, a liar, and a seditionist who hero worships dictators.
The choice is clear.
A gram of weed would get you a citation at most in SF back then, but most likely some "get that high school shit out of here" comment.
Source: I lived in SF back then and had friends who had nearly that exact experience.
Are you electioneering? You're getting a one day ban for electioneering.
No U
Thank you.
Do you micro analyze all memes?
OK Poindexter does someone need to explain linguistics to you?
Weird.
I pick whichever one isn't a rapist
North American folks cannot dismantle the two-party system (TPS) by attacking just one side.
Criminalisation of drugs is older than the current climate of the TPS as its rooted in racism, classism and ableist healthcare.
Kamala H. and Donald T. don't deserve this kind of detailled attention from or in the anarchist sphere, continent-rulers are at most tools or enemies.
At least batman would break my spine so I can get disability
A true allie
Eh, I think I'd enjoy the conversation with the Bat more. Dude can be reasonable in most of his versions. If he's coming at me over weed, which would just mean I was taking it to someone as a favor since I don't/can't use the stuff, I kinda doubt he's going to be all physical right out of the gate.
Harris would be boring as fuck all.
Better than an dumbass orange fascist any day
My ball sack is too. I could use the money.
Are you electioneering?
Are you?
Nice whataboutism, however I don't think this post mentioned orange man.
It absolutely did, and your response is disingenuous..the only reason to try and say she is a shitty cop is to discourage voters, which helps a fascist. Assuming your not a troll you're stupid or lying with your willfull ignorance of the statement underlying messageEdit... I am an Idiot and didn't realize I had stumbled into Anarchism...
