fedoras were turbocringe almost a decade before that

hmm good point. I personally didn’t see abolition as more polite or sanitized though, it tied the anger of the streets back to the historical and material roots. but I can see where someone would see it the way you put it.

when I showed up to my solidarity black bloc at the end of May I certainly wasn’t chanting ‘abolish’, but it felt right by the end of the weekend in a way that ‘defund’ felt like some gross lib shit

abolitionists have never been welcome polite society, except insofar as “attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them” etc.

in June 2020 defund was very much a deliberate choice by sympathetic liberals to not ‘alienate’ people with ‘extreme’ rhetoric like abolish. then they got shackled to it lmao and they’ve been ashamed ever since

in light of your previous comment that distinction felt especially relevant. appreciate you acknowledging it

“Defund the police” was the correct message for the uprising to take. An extreme starting point

what sort of revisionism is this? the extreme starting point was Abolish, Defund was the beginning of the way libs coopted that street energy into get out the vote shit.

worth also adding that in terms of the base, these capitalists desperately need to keep floating this along until they can bilk suckers in public markets for the overvaluation so that they can cash in on the bubble before it pops

Keep in mind that all these financiers and politicians are (for the most part) the same people who cashed in or bailed on the internet in 99. The smart ones know they’re building another dotcom bubble but they don’t want to lose the game of chicken at this point.

I mean the real ghouls are going to be making hay when the correction does come, the house always wins etc. etc. But I think the spectre of dotcom and then SF finance cashing in on web 2.0 makes up the superstructure here.

critical support lmao
