    there’s a moment I often think of from the 2020 Portland protests. mayor ted is walking through the streets, looking at the results of what is at this point months of protests. he’s in an interview, making pithy comments, empty platitudes, you know how it goes. then a guy runs up in front of him and dumps overflowing bags full of tear gas cannisters and rubber bullets at his feet, evidence of the police brutality he’s let run wild on his constituents. ted, of course, ends whatever interview he’s doing and runs away, like a coward.

    I often think about this when I’m arguing with libs in the torment nexus (Lemmy). thinking that, maybe I should stop trying to reason with them, and instead show them the results of the policy they support. the broken bodies, the charred remains, the indistinguishable piles of viscera. body parts stuffed into plastic bags and weighed out, as that’s the only way to give a semblance of a proper burial, 70kg for an adult, 20kg for a child. would it make a difference? probably not, almost assuredly not. I don’t know anymore. I am surrounded by heartless monsters who only care about their own comfort.
