fuck it, I'm saying it, cops are consistently worse human beings than the average criminal and I'd sooner trust my life with the latter
Fun fact: The event that coined the term Stockholm Syndrome was because the robbers went out of their way to try not to kill any hostages (after all, adding a murder to their charges makes them much worse), while the police were being trigger happy, so of course the hostages felt safer around the criminals than the cops.
Fucking LMAO what
Wonder why she fuckin thought that
There was no cognitive distortion whatsoever. The hostages were actually acting completely rationally, doing whatever they can to survive.
You don't trust the opinion of the guy who quit being communist when 'the Soviet Union invaded Hungary with tanks' or who was a fervant, zero tolerance anti-drug type who successfully 'helped' to greatly increase the sentencing imposed on addicts directly in Sweden and indirectly in the US?
You think he might have been huffing his own farts?
Cause I sure do
Olaf Palme L if true
You have been diagnosed with not-liking-me-enough disorder and therefore you are not in a properly-functioning state-of-mind
one of the greatest injustices of the modern surveillance state besides the physical harm wrought by it is an inability to express the unyielding fucking rage towards these fucking lower-than-filth scumbags even through text without the tickling fear of having your name jotted down somewhere, no matter how anonymous you think you are
This is exactly why all of us around during the bush admin were fuckin pissed about the patriot act. I had multiple fuckin death threats leveled at me for not being “patriotic” enough for deigning to question it after 9/11. And we’re the same ones who were fuckin pissed at Obama for continuing to support it when it was up for renewal. And we were the ones beating our heads against the “i don’t care, I have nothing to hide” and “anyone listening to my conversations will be very bored lolol” walls because fuckheads didn’t listen during the Snowden revelations.
There have been multiple studies that people subconsciously AND consciously change their behavior when presented with THE POSSIBILITY that their communications are being monitored.
Here we are, after every single one of those decisions went against us. And now we’ve gone WAY beyond privatized surveillance to the point that it’s a GIVEN that we are under constant surveillance. It’s fucked
“Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” ― Eugene V. Debs
But what if it takes a criminal to catch a criminal, ever think of that one hot shot?
