    The police are there to protect the business interests of the richest man in the world.

    They call regular people “terrorists” for daring to stand up to fascism in any small way.

    They start a manhunt for the murder of the CEO of a health insurance company while ignoring the murders of countless regular people every day.

    Private property is protected, while it’s been made illegal to be homeless.

    What a sick and decrepit society.

      Police aren’t here for for the common citizen, they’re for sale to the highest bidder like everything else in this shit hole of United States of Capitalism. Fuck the police. ACAB.

    This really does illustrate the idea that police aren’t there to “serve and protect.” They are there to keep the common people in line so that the rich can stay safe.

      Mask off moment. Their purpose is to protect capital. The only crimes that cops prevent are through deterrence because they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.

        they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.

        This isn’t unique to the US. It is called law enforcement so even if it wasn’t a completely broken and horseshit system crime prevention would not be part of their purview.

        You prevent/reduce crime by addressing the underlying societal issues that are contributing to it.

    Terrorism is scaring/harming people to manipulate government.

    Tesla is neither government nor their property damage is scaring people.

    More trumped-up charges.

    (It is hilariously fitting Trump the man and Trump the word fit so gand-in-hand)

    Is it illegal to Nelson laugh while pointing at swasticar enjoyers and calling them dorks?

    No? Then this is all a waste of time. I shall continue doing so unabated.

        I’ve seen this meme format for years now, but never understood it. Why are they just floating in space? Why is one killing the other?

        I get this individual meme…I just don’t get the format.

          The original is something like “it’s all Ohio” “always has been”. The globe shown is just a large landmass that looks like Ohio. They’re probably astronauts since you’d have to be in space to see it. The astronaut killing the other has the Ohio flag on them and is killing them for knowing too much.

          Never did understand it either and always just saw it and then saw it so often that it just became normal

          I had to look it up myself to see where the origin of it came from

          https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wait-its-all-ohio-always-has-been

          Know Your Meme is always a great resource for this kind of stuff … thanks for asking because it made me look it up and find out for myself because I never knew the origin of it all.
