Not really doing another round of this absolutely useless argument where the state can employ any and every kind of violence against people, but the second someone throws a rock at their car, the person gets lectured about how violence is not the way.
Tumblr user theinstagrahame:
State violence includes:
Deploying the National Guard on a peaceful protest
Deploying the military in a state that doesn't need it
Pretty much everything ICE does
"less lethal" weapons deployed incorrectly
"less lethal" weapons deployed correctly
Deportation
Arresting political opposition
Detaining legal residents or citizens (honestly detaining anyone)
Imprisonment
The death penalty
Union busting
Bombing striking coal miners
Bombing a black community
Assassination
Funding war
Funding genocide
Depriving people of resources
Depriving people of medical treatment
Depriving people of their rights, including the right to vote
Ending food programs
Ending medical programs source

the only roman emperor i respect is honorius because, during his reign, rome was sacked, and when someone brought him the news that rome had perished he freaked out bc he thought they were talking about his pet bird named "rome," and when they explained that they were talking about the city he was like "oh thank god. who gives a shit"

getting a bit tired of hearing “the trans agenda is to stay alive” “the gay agenda is to be allowed to grow up” “the queer agenda is to be allowed to love freely” cuz like i guess yeah those are good things and the liberals love them but my queer agenda is total gender liberation and an upheaval of capitalism and prison abolition and building a new and informed society. but yeah i can pretend the extent of my activism is about like a pride flag hanging from the capitol. sure. source

there's no such thing as a medicaid freeloader. everyone needs healthcare. it does not matter if you don't believe someone has a valid reason to not be working or in school- they are still a human being and human beings need healthcare. even if someone IS this strawman ""just lazy"" unemployed person, they deserve healthcare. sorry but i do not believe that the right to medical treatment without financial ruin is predicated on someone's "usefulness" to society. it's depressing that this is apparently too radical a belief. source
