  • I agree with that, but this pretext is the reality in superhero stories. Cops are portrayed as the good guys, and superheroes collaborate with them if anything.

    Cops and superheroes share this; They fight crime. And so if we imagine a child reading superhero comics, they will most likely think; I also want to fight crime! And who in our society fights crime? It’s the cops.

    Superheroes are a constructed reality to turn children into cops.









  • You are probably right.

    The reason why I still posted here is because I believe in the transformative potential of language through the bondframe. It enables us to change how we bond to our world through language, and thus strengthening our change force.

    I was originally going to post to philosophy@hexbear.net, but it didn’t work.

    At least I should have made some changes to make the article more relevant for this community.

    Anyways, it’s fine. It works like a reference for the future.










  • Quote from Margaret Killjoy in the video:

    There are two sides to this struggle: rapid response and mutual aid. Rapid response networks organize to identify and track ICE vehicles and agents and to disrupt abductions in process. Mutual aid networks organize to get affected people food, medical care, rides, vet visits, company… whatever they need. These are two seperate webs of networks. The mutual aid side is more secretive in its organizing, of course, because it is taking care of the people who cannot leave their homes without being kidnapped… Partly because there’s no central organization, it’s hard to get a sense of the scale of these networks, especially the mutual aid networks. There are tens of thousands of people, at least, being cared for by these networks… When I ask people where all of this came from, the answer was never some specific organization or network or coalition. Organizations, networks, and coalitions are part of this, absolutely. But the core of the resistance is just neighborliness… I can’t emphasize the decentralization of theese networks enough… Decentralizaed networks are harder to inflitrate and harder to destroy. This movement is not leaderless, but leaderful, and there are no few specific people who could be arrested to stop the movement… Noen of this works top-down.

    In norwegian we have a word for non-authoritarian leaders, which is called “los”. It comes from somebody who is helping with navigation of ships. I guess it could be translated to guider. You don’t have to listen to the guider, but if they are reckognized as capable, you trust them.
