  1. Another example: warehouse-arsonist guy's "all you had to do is pay us enough to live"... that's really low-balling it, my man. No. even if we all got paid enough to live, we'd still have racism, sexism, rape, police brutality, war, imperialism, neocolonialism, etc. I just can't help but object to these really absolutist statements. Really it should be "the LEAST you could do is pay us enough to live. BUT we also want these other things and so we're asking for those too."

    But, yeah that isn't as catchy, I guess. That'd be a long bumper sticker.

    (and again, i'm not against the action. just thinkg the messaging around it could be better)

  6. It seems like there's so many radical progressive "slogans" that i end up taking issue with, wording-wise. I guess maybe it''s cuz I'm on the spectrum and i just really want stuff to be accurate, or at least realistic. And by their nature slogans are vague and simplistic, but reality is complicated and nuanced. So I end up always thinking, "well no, actually..." and then people think I'm against the sentiment when I'm not.

    For instance "defund the police" - that's catchy & quick but it's also polarizing & shocking to people who arent already radicalized, & like, c'mon, in this society can we really just suddenly get rid of all police? no. We need to remove the conditions that encourage crime, so we won't need police.
