Ugh I love crows

Up on melancholy hill sits a crow just looking out on the day...

"we want to take care of each other, and if that's 'radical,' then something is wrong."

saw someone else write this in a comment section and i couldn't say it better myself. human rights issues are so often reduced to political partisanship---and the weaponization of this kind of rhetoric restrains the social progress of humanity, whether consciously or not. it allows us to dismiss real hatred and discrimination that goes far beyond partisan politics in the name of political civility. and for those who don't participate in the idea of political civility, it further distorts the innocuous movement for the equal rights of all people into a targeted, malicious and personal attack on someone's values, pitting two sides against each other over humanitarian issues that should be entirely non-partisan.

supporting ideology that calls for the extermination or oppression of a group of people should not be considered a "political opinion." these are issues that threaten people's right to dignity and life. the mindset of "it's just politics" and "it's just an opinion that everyone is entitled to" is a dangerous and slippery slope, one that has facilitated those in our past to turn a blind eye in the face of horrific mass genocide. it's damaging to mask bigotry and oppression under the misnomer of politics.

it should also not be the norm that, if one chooses to ignore or uphold the clear violation of another person's human rights under the guise of political civility, it is seen as "peaceful," or ironically, in our christocentric country, as "loving thy neighbor." these are issues that challenge our fundamental right to be human day-to-day, and this is a conversation that everybody is a part of regardless of whether they think it aligns with their political beliefs and regardless of whether they want to be involved or not. so no, i do not believe that it is correct to say that, for instance, in the recent 2024 election, it is "contributing to a society of division" when a person questions their relationships with people who support the trump campaign's hateful and oppressive beliefs, or that it is "radicalized" to stand firmly in protest of them. because truthfully it isn't based on political differences, but on the reality that the 2024 election was an election that trivialized human rights.

i acknowledge that social politics are largely what define partisan politics today and that it is nearly impossible to separate the two, as social politics are often presented by our politicians as issues that affect all the other areas of politics as well. however, i believe that this is an idea that has been long built and established by the two-party system to develop the political agendas of each party, muddying our ability to distinguish the difference between when we should use pragmatism, empathy, or our identity to guide our beliefs. this is not so much a rant focusing on political extremism or the far-right, but to highlight the pernicious nature of conflating humanitarianism with politics. it's not a left-wing problem or a right-wing problem, it's a universal societal state. i hope for a day we are able to, as a society, understand that advocating for the basic rights of others is a choice that transcends political sides---a choice that is deeply rooted in who you are as a person, who we are as a people, and the future you're choosing for our world.

I don't really think it's fair to dismiss the idea that that guy might have been framed for killing the CEO as like an unfounded conspiracy theory when NYPD has a proven history of planting/fabricating evidence on people. in 2011 there was a massive investigation of the NYPD and hundreds of cases against people were dismissed after a former police officer testified that they literally have a name for planting evidence on people: flaking. you cannot be out here acting like considering the possibility that cops who do this shit under normal circumstances might possibly also do it when they're under intense global pressure and scrutiny is the same as republicans thinking democrats run a secret pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant

You can be whatever you want. It’s not my job, nor is it anyone else’s job, to police identities. In the grand scheme of life, labels don’t mean anything. Call yourself whatever you want.
