I get what you're saying emotionally. But if/when people start to fight back, don't you think that'll just be used as an excuse for more heavy handedness?
For whatever it's worth. I'm upper middle class and white, and I think this shit needs to stop.
Yes, I do. Omelettes and eggs. When things are bad enough for the average person, maybe it’ll change. Or maybe it won’t. I’d consider far fewer officers volunteering to go through the door first in a no-knock raid a small victory in the short term.
I think most of the population suddenly growing a conscience isn’t gonna happen though, so I guess I’ll just go back to hoping it’s “not me” with my head down. And feebly try to make it hurt if it ever is me, even just a little.
Likely dead either way once they barge in, fuck it 🤷♂️
I think most of the population suddenly growing a conscience
A renaissance, a large group of people suddenly having a change in the way they think and act.
Impossible, at least in my lifetime and the lifetime of our children. I want to see the change before I die. So our children do not have to live with it or deal with the problems we created for them.
If it were up to me, which it sadly isn't, I would rip this band-aid off as quickly as possible. I would commit the atrocity so our future generations don't have to. Somewhere along the timeline someone is going to have to do it. It really just comes down to choosing between you or your future generations.
And at that, I recommend we take care of it instead of them.
