The Inverted Values of a Social Justice Warrior

Once upon a time, there was a feminist that enthusiastically protested outside of a prison where a convicted serial killer of women was to be executed. There was no doubt he was guilty, but the feminist and other SJWs friends proudly shouted their chants and waved their protest signs.

The feminist was saddened when she told her friends she had to leave early. She explained that she had an appointment later in the day to get an abortion. She felt so empowered to have control over her own body.

After the abortion, she stopped by the animal shelter and picked out a rescue dog. The dog was scheduled to be put down that very day. The dog was so cute. She went out and splurged on little toys, chew bones and a comfy bed for her new arrival. She had saved that dog and made a home for it. She went to bed that night feeling really good about herself.

The End …of principles, reason, compassion, and an innocent life

She still seems pretty compassionate to me.

(Getting an abortion doesn’t mean a person doesn’t have compassion or reason if that’s what you are trying to imply, and they are not hypocrites if they went to get a dog. If you’re trying to conflate the two or imply something else, it didn’t really work.)

Are they implying that adopting a dog is something immoral?

Apparently adopting a dog that was close to being euthanized is bad because she is anti death penalty (even if the dude’s guilty of a crime without a doubt) and got an abortion. She saved the life of an animal, but let a criminal not die on death row and didn’t let a fetus use her body. 

Her views seem pretty consistent to me really.

Origins of the police

In England and the United States, the police were invented within the space of just a few decades — roughly from 1825 to 1855.

The new institution was not a response to an increase in crime, and it really didn’t lead to new methods for dealing with crime. The most common way for authorities to solve a crime, before and since the invention of police, has been for someone to tell them who did it.

Besides, crime has to do with the acts of individuals, and the ruling elites who invented the police were responding to challenges posed by collective action. To put it in a nutshell: The authorities created the police in response to large, defiant crowds. That’s

— strikes in England,
— riots in the Northern US,
— and the threat of slave insurrections in the South.

So the police are a response to crowds, not to crime.

So at work a few of the contractor companies are union, which is great. (Electricians, pipefitters, ect.)

And on one of the electrician’s lunchboxes I saw the following slogan;

Unions; Together We Stand and Bargain, Divided We Beg and Starve. 

And honestly that’s fucking poetry right there.

Amazing artist ‘Saint Hoax’ took misogynistic ads from the 1950s and added Donald Trump’s sexist quotes. 

I almost scrolled past this until I saw the caption thinking it was “just sexist ads from the sixties” and that says a lot

he .. really said these ???

Unfortunately yes. Every last one of them. 

Dropping to your knees comment

Dinner not being ready comment

Flat chested comment

‘Young and beautiful piece of ass’ comment

‘You never get to the face’ comment

Telling friends to be “rougher” with their wives

Blatantly saying women should be treated like shit 

This man has 0 respect for women, and he has yet to make a sincere apology for these disgusting comments. He is not a president, he is a predator. 

I genuinely didn’t realize this was even Donald Trump until halfway through

That’s horrifying

I didn’t realize until the flat chested one but I *remember* that.

U.S. Citizen Who Was Held By ICE For 3 Years Denied Compensation By Appeals Court

There is no right to a court-appointed attorney in immigration court.
Watson, who was 23 and didn’t have a high school diploma when he
entered ICE custody, didn’t have a lawyer of his own. So he hand-wrote a
letter to immigration officers, attaching his father’s naturalization
certificate, and kept repeating his status to anyone who would listen.

Still,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement kept Watson imprisoned as a
deportable alien for nearly 3 ½ years. Then it released Watson, who
was from New York, in rural Alabama with no money and no explanation.
Deportation proceedings continued for another year.

Watson was
correct all along: He was a U.S. citizen. After he was released, he
filed a complaint. Last year, a district judge in New York awarded him
$82,500 in damages, citing “regrettable failures of the government.”

On
Monday, an appeals court ruled that Watson, now 32, is not eligible for
any of that money — because while his case is “disturbing,” the statute
of limitations actually expired while he was still in ICE custody
without a lawyer.           
  

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged that the ruling is “harsh” but said it was bound by precedent.

End the fucking legal system.

What the FUCK

If the government decides to kidnap you, all they need to do to make themselves not responsible is keep you locked up longer so that their initial kidnapping runs out the statute of limitations???

What the FUCK

I…I’m pretty sure that should not work legally.

If someone gets kidnapped by a random guy and help for longer than the

statute

of limitations for that crime, that doesn’t mean they’re free. Holding someone against their will is a crime in itself.

America, sort yourself out.
