There's this Purity element in online subcultures where ACAB has to mean you write off and forsake all people in any position to enforce laws, and it's ridiculous. To me, it means and has always meant that our systems make people do bad things, but not These Jobs Make Humans Irredeemable. - ThreadSky

Yeah, I don't feel it's my place to involve myself in queer discourse, but I have terrible trouble talking to Very Assertive Activists. There's such a tendency, all over, to Other people who have a different appraisal of any part of society.

It's the Emo Phillips religion joke all the way down.

I think I used to believe that, before people I work with started talking like this to me during work hours.
