Abolish The Police


Unrest around the world.
Clashes with police.
There's so much happening and the police are always there, making whatever is happening much worse.
Some people believe cops are necessary.
Because their brother is a cop and my cop brother says oh yeah it's disgusting when protesters are brutalised, I don't like it at all.
If only we could harness that “I was talking to my cop brother” energy.
The raw and intense power of a cop saying self serving things to people who want to think well of him.
What a force for change that could be.
All around the world, cops are whining to their families. What a revolution. I get goosebumps.
People will tell you politicians are a necessary evil, but people also unconditionally love cops.
As if they're a tribe of magical creatures holding back evil with just the purity of their hope.
But we should disband the police. They don't do anything. Abolish the police.
Just yesterday the New South Wales Police Commissioner said he wants young people to be afraid of cops.
Is that any wise person's idea of a world anyone wants to live in? An open air jail? People being domesticated by cops? People being trained to fear their own impulses?
The NSW Police Commissioner isn't your brother the cop who means well, he's the top cop.
There is no reasoning with people in uniform and there's no uniform- not even a top cop who- is any position to question the hierarchy.
Of course cops are not the only institution that has no credibility whatsoever, but cops are the institution we always bang heads with.
Maybe we shouldn't be making demands of anybody in power, maybe we should be dismantling the police so the people in power are no longer in power. Amen

Hotdog Warlord

Image
  I was getting mad that the Wagner boss who seems to have attempted a coup in Russia is being called the “hotdog warlord”. Once upon a time he had a hotdog stand and I was displeased by what I saw as middle class wankers having one of their little laughs at such a working class activity. I was right that they are laughing, but I was wrong about what they were laughing at, which was of course hotdogs. In my rush to always shit on anyone in a suit, in an office, their pretentiousness and out of touchness, it was I who was out of touch, because hotdogs are funny. Sometimes people are just having a laugh. I don’t have to jump down their throats. I could try chilling out to be honest. Hotdog Warlord. How did I not reckon that was funny? What a humorless lefty piece of shit I am. What a terribly earnest party pooper. What a fuckin killjoy. I should be sent to the work camps in Siberia. I should be on a list. I should be transported to Australia and flogged with a cat’o’nine tails. In the 90

The Exciting Apple Vision Pro

Apple has an embarrassing new product that over-affluent parents are desperate to get their hands on. It’s a headset for looking at videos, that you control with your eyeballs! It’s also goggles you wear to watch the videos you made while it was on your head earlier- before the divorce- and it takes you back to those precious moments? Because the same thing is on your head? Imagine being reminded that you lost your kids because you were a too cashed up nerd, every time you look at a video of your children. Who don’t love you anymore. I joke, because I irrationally hate, but a Youtube guy who tried out this gadget was seriously excited about collecting memories with his child. Yes, bro, they grow up so fast, so strap a shame thing onto your face and gather up all those images of your child becoming increasingly alienated from you because the only part of your face they can see is your weird smile. Your strange techno smile. Your disturbing, self satisfied shitty lips. Your weird fucked

The Horribly Disappointing Not Revolutionary Left

Image
So the union movement is not exactly gearing up for an excess of passion right now. Pretty worrying, but that's the bureaucratic Left for you. The amendments to the Summary Offences Act will be rammed through in the State of Victoria and so far the office champs have pumped out a video that looks like it was made by a Centralized Union Neutering Team. The union movement needs to fuck off it's own 1%, the union movement needs a revolution, the union movement has been decapitated by technocrats, it's a waste, a disaster, a showbag: looks good, but full of shit. But let's not pretend the Worker has no part in this. I've spoken with unionists who shake their head at the materialistic focus of people well paid only because people like themselves fought the bosses. Now those people's lives seem to revolve around being able to buy shit, talk shit about that shit, all of this a replacement for giving a shit. Let's face it, fucktard nationalism has replaced m
