When it comes to actually participating in activism, specifically among the younger/more online crowd, there's a large portion of people who are too worried about being perceived wrong or not knowing enough. Perhaps, as if there's some secret set of rules that, if broken, will cause niche local discourse of severity unknowable even to online micro-celebrities...but overall, many are concerned about not meeting unwritten criteria to be accepted or included.
The most effective way to be excluded from an activist group, on any place across the political spectrum, is to never attend in the first place. (Or never reach out, if attending isn't an option.)

“But if we defund the police who will protect us?” “But if we have no police who will you call when your in danger?” “We need police to keep us safe”
No, fuck you
I had to call 911 while I was at work (I’m a hotel concierge) and the woman who I’m calling to have removed is standing across from me screaming at me while I try and speak to the operator. By the time the police arrive (45+ mins later) I’ve managed to get the woman to leave (after she spent 30+ mins screaming at me and harassing guest) and after I told the cop he goes “cool, it all worked out!” I spent almost an hour shaking and had to lock the doors early.
I’ve had to call cops to come “deescalate ” situations several times and they have NEVER helped the situation, not once.
Once or twice a month a cruiser will come sit in the parking lot for about 5 hours and give ticket after ticket all day.
Defund police because they aren’t providing a useful service, defund police because they don’t arrive quick enough to actually do something and when they do they make the situation worse, defund police because they only put effort in their job is when they need to meet a quota, defund police because when I comes to MY SAFTEY it will ALWAYS be in MY HANDS!
Defund the police because when your calling as a person of colour you shouldn’t have to hope you get a “good cop” defund the police because I will NEVER call them when I’m having an issue with a black man because whatever he’s doing won’t be worth his death.
DEFUND THE FUCKING POLICE BECAUSE ITS A SYSTEM THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT PRIVILEGED PEOPLE AND PRIVILEGED PEOPLE ONLY!! AND EVEN NOW IT BARELY DOES THAT!!

hey guys serious question—are national park officers & rangers considered cops? do they fall under ACAB? im planning to get a career in the field but i likely wont if thats the case.
to add: rangers can indeed issue arrests, tickets, citations, and carry firearms

I hate, hate, hate the argument of Noah Schnapp being "too young" to know the harm and pain he is perpetuating becos fuck that excuse, he's older than when Tamar Rice and Michael Brown got shot by the police, he's older than when Wadea Al-Fayoume got stabbed by his landlord, he's older than the many, many Palestinian children who were killed by Israel.
But I guess only White people get to be seen as children right?
