   America is receiving an invaluable lesson on the social construction of crime as well as the framing standpoint of mass media and I really hope it sticks

     Everywhere I look:

     Media, politicians, and police: "This sort of criminal behaviour is a signifier of the deep rot at the heart of the civility of our politics and it must be cracked down on with law and order."

     Normal folks: "Oh, so it's a crime to kill him but not for him to kill my aunt? Eat my entire ass."

     You'll always find, in the final analysis, that all crime and all law exists simply because those in power decided it would be better that way. When you reify law, when you acknowledge these definitions of crime, you are siding with these centers of power.

     This is not to say that everything illegal is good or vice versa - the world is obviously not so simple as that. Only that you should retain your own agency and moral compass autonomous from the state. And yous are doing great today 😘

     @CedarTea cops keep saying funny things like this act was "brazen and premeditated".

     UHC is both of those things, but they keep failing to both sides this one

     See, that's how I trick you into reading my little anarchist theory bits. I reel you in with talk of eating ass.
