our country hasnât progressed. itâs not a âcountryâ; itâs a genocidal rabid rapist expansionist apartheid settler colony hellbent on the destruction of the climate and any and all indigenous life, including beyond the territories it now occupies. POC becoming colonizers gives the impression things have changed but the way social classes are scaffolded by racial capitalism. in 1860, most of the assets of the white settler class where black people commodified, dehumanized, gaining surplus value
-at the whip and auction block. this is how our social classes were created. with this in mind, the phrase âcruel and unusual punishmentâ is a legal phrase (obviously, because weâre talking about bringing back something allegedly prohibited). thing is - itâs always been there itâs just asymmetrically employed (the state isnât egalitarian for starters!) and not only do racialized people get tortured/raped/killed by the state but even if youâre white and oppose the state / become an abolitionist,
-your proximity to whiteness only protects you insofar as you donât pose a threat to capital. if you fight against the state and this fucked up system that produces the same elite PDF cannibal rapists who btw the slave owners were (they cooked their slaves for fun) then you too will face cruel and unusual punishment. i 100% get your anger. itâs just that the phrase doesnât exist in a vacuum. we need to unite against this evil system!!!
you donât have actual moral clarity if you believe that keeping elites alive is the right thing to do. a) reject the premise of human rights bestowed by the state. you have none. they have always been conditional. the moment you exercise them in a way that threatens their interests, you die. [also that the justice system is ineffective. look at the way FBI agents investigating ts were killed by the CIA and the whole government has been doing a massive cover-up].
b) you donât actually have moral clarity about what âyouâre fighting forâ. you are advocating for current, egregiously inadequate legal mechanisms, and not even using them for accountability, but rather as counterrevolutionary policing and moral purity testing people for their natural reaction to such abhorrent information. c) âour country has already progressedâ OFF OF THE BLOOD THE GLOBAL SOUTH??? hello??? d) what âsame mistakesâ? when has the state ever given us enough power to make them?
