When you start to lose trust in politicians, it's like losing the remote in your apartment.
Have you been sitting on the remote?
I haven't. Come on, get up! The old saying - small thieves take off their heads, big ones take off their hats,among politicians when they are protected by Saint Pinocchio
Also a vengeance-oriented cultural ethos. If your twitch-reaction to the question “what should happen to someone who kills someone close to you?” is “kill them back,” then you lack the basic mindset required for a non-paranoid, non-tyrannical society
the problem is actually not the racists but the people who are ostensibly not racist and not classist but dont recognize that making convicted individuals second class citizens is actually racist and classist.
I feel like you’re describing people who are racist and classist. Like the people who think it’s as simple as “don’t do crimes and you won’t go to jail” and “more black people in jail means black people commit more crimes.” Implicit/unconscious bias is still racism in my book 🤷🏽
i have a liberal progressive black friend who is a hardcore Democrat and BLM supporter... who thinks some incarcerated people should have the right to vote... but not all. So that's what I mean by someone who is ostensibly not racist/classist
We put so many wrong restrictions on the wrong criminals. Most can't vote and are blocked from certain jobs (even if they're trained for it), but a domestic abuser can still own a gun? Bullshit. AND we aren't infallible.
Only violent offenders and major fraudsters need/deserve restrictions.
At the end of the day, they're still humans.
And we know there have been so many instances of innocent people getting put away.
Or people who just made simple, stupid mistakes.
It seems like soon people will be put in prison for daring to practice free speech and protesting. 🤷
