i know this cis-ish bisexual man who is a social worker and a leftist. the entire time i’ve known him he’s been a little edgy about like, men’s rights apologism type stuff. but now that he works in a post-prison “rehabilitation” context it’s getting steadily worse.

social workers are cops. they’re kinder and gentler and they can’t shoot you, but they believe all the same stuff cops do, and they can absolutely send you to prison, make you homeless, kidnap your children, or otherwise destroy your life, if they decide that’s in the best interests of the state or themselves. even if they got into social work to help people. even if they still think they’re helping people.

just like cops.
