All cops are bastards, but so are the people who defend their actions

Content Warning: Discussion of police violence  It is a well known phrase among the left. "All cops are Bastards" or ACAB for short. It stands for justice and to make clear to the world why the institute of the police should not exist. You have all probably heard the theory and reasoning behind this phrase already. "All cops are bastards because they exist to protect the wealthy elite, they are bastards because they oppress the lower classes and marginalized groups with extreme prejudice, they are bastards because they protect Fascists and other far right agitators". This is all fine and dandy but I am not here to give a theory lecture. If you want to read about theory then go find some video essay on YouTube or read some literature. No instead I am here to talk about the powers that are behind those cops, how even so called "moderate" politicians and people are more then willing to defend the brutality of the thugs in blue.  Police brutality nowadays is m...

The Left, Ableism and a conversation we need to have

 Content Warning: Discussions of Ableism, some criticism of left wing groups Intersectionality is the theory and framework by which we explain how a person's social and political identities combine, to measure the different modes of discrimination and privilege. This means that many forms of discrimination(and privilege) will often cross each other on an axis. We can use this analytical framework to measure the ways in which many people are disenfranchised and it has spread from it's origin in academia, to left wing praxis on the streets.

Without intersectionality, queer rights would at best still be limited to decriminalization of homosexuality. Without intersectionality left wing groups in the US would have never grown after the 2016 elections and would have been completely crushed under the boot of Fascism, Capitalism and the American State.  Intersectionality is one of...

An Introduction

 It is high time for me to make a post explaining what I am doing here and what my aim is with this blog. This should hopefully give some introspection in who I am, what I am doing here and where I want to go with the work that I do. First of all I am Pim. I am an Autistic twat with a lot of opinions on a lot of subjects. I am a filthy "left wing rat" so don't expect any love for Conservatives or Liberals here. This blog will mostly be my outings on subjects regarding politics, especially politics that involve Autistic people.  In a way this blog also serves as an extension of my youtube channel, here I will post about subjects that I think are either too small for their own video or subjects that I cannot adequately explain in video format. This does mean that my blog will go into the territory of theory and frustrations I run into in life so be prepared for that. I have found it extremely difficult to really produce anything of substance regarding theory or finding a cr...
