The Koch brothers are pretty against the carceral state
Nice words don’t matter much when you when you wrote the checks to the governor who signed it into law.https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2018/07/11/desantis-wins-formal-koch-backing-as-momentum-continues-to-shift-504166 …
Not taking a side. Poking at any tribal derping/beefing I see.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2020/01/16/the-internet-of-beefs/ …
To be clear, that’s also you here a little. If you’re going to straw-man criticism of cancel culture, you’re beefing.
All I’m saying is I was seeing a lot of exciting progress — maybe the most exciting progress on civil rights in a generation — almost 2 months ago and then of course the powers that be had to make it about their own victimization.
If that’s your summary of critiques of cancel culture, you’re still straw manning. Best critiques of cancel culture I’ve seen come from people who also want some radical justice reform. Rarely in the same method, though.
Only 1 of the 37 states that had “black lives matter” painted on their streets ended qualified immunity. Play culture games, win culture prizes.
It takes years to change laws. SF’s level and # of officers is embedded in the city constitution, meaning you need a huge # of signatures + $$ to do a CA. We won’t have the chance to vote on it til 2022.https://missionlocal.org/2020/06/reform-defund-abolish-the-san-francisco-police-department-what-we-can-do-what-we-cant-and-what-we-wont/ …
In the meantime, you have to keep the discourse and conversation focused on the message. Powerful people who spend their time distracting the national conversation away weaken the energy and focus of the movement.
The movement decided to target enemies that could have been allies. That’s just dumb tactics.
the movement for black lives and against police brutality is not as structurally powerful as it deserves or needs to be, meanwhile the powerful who claim to be aligned have decided to... make this moment about them (?)... and their right-not-to-be-cancelled
