    To preface, I am agreeing with you and countering the person you’re replying to.

    There is a difference between abolish the police and abolishing law enforcement. Like it or not, there is ALWAYS something enforcing the laws. It might be the form of mob justice, vigilantes, local militias, gangs, a sheriff, neighborhood watches, the military, or some other state-sanctioned organizations, but there is always law enforcement. That does not argue for maintaining the police, but could still say that a force existing to enforce the laws exists. Heck, I think a police force isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but that the current police force is staffed by people with a propensity for abuse, disdain for the people they are there to protect, and a willingness to escalate situations with violence at pretty much any turn.

    You can argue for different forms of law enforcement, but it will always exist in some form. It’s just that citizens need far more oversight and control over it because law enforcement is power that can easily corrupt.












  • In a perfectly balanced, evenly powered world where everyone had adequate housing, food, and all the necessities of life, transactional sex is fine. Because no one’s life depends on it. There is no power imbalance, no coersion.

    But we don’t live in that world. Billionaires can and often do make your life a living hell if they don’t get what they want from you. And people, generally, do not have all the necessities of life. 99+% of them require money to live. And these women are no exception. Heck, this doesn’t apply to even just billionaires or men. Sex workers NEED that money to live, so it is inherently exploitative.

    That is the problem, like it or not. But billionaires only compound the issue multiple times over, because they can also apply power greater than others. And they can stop being a billionaire at any point.






  • Yes. Your gut is very likely wrong. Especially because you got upset that I told you to find real evidence because your evidence is “She didn’t act how I thought she would.” For an assault. When you are assaulted, you do not always act rationally. You can freeze up. You can fall to the ground. You can fight back. You can laugh! That does not mean you weren’t assaulted no matter how you respond. That’s why there is a lot of research on trauma responses.

    You can look up the arrest record and follow the suspect through the criminal system. Look up they’re social media and find where they’re a Magahead for the past 3+ years. Let me know when you find no evidence of your theory and pretend the lack of evidence is evidence of a cover up, that’s usually the next step in the conspiracy theory rathole.

    Like, you should seriously consider talking to a psychologist because these gut feelings could be a warning sign for deeper issues.



  • It is literally a conspiracy theory, and a horseshit one. Anybody with security is generally told to duck and cover, but there is no fucking politician class that drills it into you. Sometimes you respond to a traumatic event in a weird way. Sometimes you don’t even realize it’s traumatic until afterward! Every psychologist will tell you this! This was taught in HIGH SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY 20 FUCKING YEARS AGO, it isn’t new.

    When someone is standing during a gunfight, is it their fault if they get shot? No, goddamn it. That’s a dumbass thought that dumbasses have when their dumbassery makes them a dumb asshole. That is literally victim blaming. You are victim blaming. Fuck off or find real fucking evidence because your body language expertise is also horseshit debunk psychology. If you can find real evidence, then it’s not you just thinking some asinine theory, and you won’t look insane.


  • Lol. Lmao even.

    So, you’re using body language to read this? Holy fuck.

    It is entirely possibly, nay, fucking probable that she assumed he wanted to speak to her. She is, rather unsurprisingly, a fairly nice person, and quite personable. I have been to a couple of her events because she’s my congressperson. Fuck off with this conspiracy horseshit.

    But also let’s talk about this: She shows no concern about the substance sprayed on her?

    Have you ever been assaulted? Because fuck you. Everyone expects victims to be perfect. “Why didn’t you fight back or run away or call for help or blah blah blah?” Victim-blaming mentality is what that is. “Why didn’t you do X?” is the number one statement for people that have never been in a bad situation say to people who have. It is, quite honestly, disgusting.

    Read up on trauma responses and let me know when you realize you’re wrong.
