      We have turned social justice into a race, not a march. Rather than getting there together we are trying to get there first.

      Sadly, there are plenty of people throughout the diverse, unorganized pool of movements whose agenda and goals are not the same. They're so different, in fact, that some of those people cannot help in the struggle of other people.

      A lot of well-intentioned white Liberal Democrat types aren't interested in dismantling structures of oppression and racism. They in fact need those structures intact. The Democrats maintain their preferred broken institutions and defend destructive forces that benefit them.

      Their interests involve preserving broken institutions and reforming, rather than dismantling, things like the carceral state. Those people aren't good allies. In the race to justice you describe, they're not even looking at the same finish line. It sucks. It's sad.

      I think there's a place for everyone who really believes in what we call social justice. I don't expect everyone to burn a cop car, lock down on a bulldozer or occupy a Senate office. But if you're not able to see why that cop car needs to burn, your "justice" isn't mine.

      If all you want to do is burn things, you're the enemy of all of humanity. When things burn, people die. If your answer is "acceptable losses" then you're no different than the warmongers you pretend to hate.

      I never said all I want to do is burn things. That's a metaphor. If you want to defend a grossly overfunded, dangerous state coercive apparatus (the police force) you're not helping anything. I'd rather repurpose the cop cars or recycle them, than burn them.

      This has become a discussion about something hyperspecific and uninteresting.

          Yeah, caring about human lives is boring.

          Y'all literally talking about cop cars, burn vs recycle.

          I'm not, I'm talking about the reality behind the metaphor. That burning things kills people. Literal real people.

          Anyway, that's beside the point. I'm not advocating the burning! I support the burning, because I know what it means. If you act like an ally, but you don't want to see people free from being murdered by cops or imprisoned/enslaved, you're NOT an ally.

          Emily, my apologies for taking that in an errant direction. I dig your stuff. Thanks for posting on that potent issue though. 🙏

          I wasn't trying to make it about burning the cop car - surely you can see that. Methods and means are up to groups and individuals. But our inability to actually work toward the same goal, to even SEE the same goal is what hampers us.
