@shmibs If you know what "BLA/BLM/BGF/J" was you wouldn't ask me such a dumb question. I'm not wasting any more time with this because that's all it is, an endless diversionary waste of time. "It's not Black people's fault that they're degenerate drug dealers that fund Marxist prison gangs, start pedophile cults in Atlanta, and riots at the DNC's whim on election years, here's me thesis on why, it has a bunch of assertions about the cause of behaviour, but just play along and it totally makes sense."Boy who are you talking to?
-
@shmibs What wild hubris.
-
@shmibs Point 3 is a bit contentious. What spawned this recent wave of protesting, from the BLA/BLM/BGF/J propaganda machine to the Georgia NFAC is funding. It's funding allocated because this is an election year. I believe it's through the DNC, but I couldn't produce proof of that, it's just the logical player given the infrastructure of bookstores and historical relationships.This is all a red herring though. You're suddenly a Calvanist when it comes to causality for the thug, but the police must be held accountable; do only white people have agency in your world view or is that just an unhappy coincidence?
-
@alex @issdeinschnitzel Yeah.
-
@shmibs @alex @issdeinschnitzel But are you at all confused why the federal government would be motivated to act and take a hard line? Pointing out the motivators isn't an endorsement, so I'm not really selling police expansionism, but rather pointing out why it's happening.
-
@shmibs @alex @issdeinschnitzel also the murders, "protests" might be #1, but the murders, those might be #2.
-
@shmibs @alex @issdeinschnitzel Could you cite that at all? Between NYC and Chicago I'd expect the numbers to fall heavily the other way.
-
@shmibs @alex @issdeinschnitzel "boys will kill boys" that's... glib, especially to then be so concerned over an arrest.
-
@shmibs @alex @issdeinschnitzel So, just to follow up on this. Police shot ~1k people in 2018 across the whole country, meanwhile the FBI estimates that 16,214 people were murdered. Chicago nearly hit 500 on its own in 2016.I think "police have killed far more people over the past few months than have people taking advantage of protest stuff" isn't evidenced at all, and rather all evidence suggests that violent thugs have taken every advantage.
-
@shmibs tl;dr.
-
@shmibs But please, gang-crime and drug policy expert Shmibs, do fucking go on...
-
@shmibs > I care about a problem literally orders of magnitude smaller than what you're talking about, but please, consider the minutiae of my position, also here's rationalizations why an arrests are the more troubling issue, also have I complicated things with a whole separate topic? I mean, obviously, let's talk about drug policy. Let's never talk about how I care about ~1k deaths more than ~15k deaths. Why won't you take the time to read my pages of cope?
