Love that this dude is responding to tons of questions but not this one……so weird!!!

Um, are you blind? Or, do you just not like my answer to his question?

Go ahead and check the time stamp on my post dude!

Love that you responded to me a full hour after this comment was made, and now an hour after that, you've come back to do some weird gaslighting. Or do you live somewhere out in the asteroid belt and have an hour of light lag?

Thank you lol, bc I literally went to his replies to double check that he hadn’t responded already and I just missed it!

Exactly

Nice try, but these are not remotely the same. One is a social problem, while the other are people. You don't solve a "people" like you solve a social issue--whether the problem is serious, or not. Also, I'm talking perceptions about crime, not the amount of crime itself. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

We don't fight the false perceptions about crime by reinforcing them.

The nazis relied on gentile Germon perceptions that Jewish people were a social problem, my guy. The Trump admin is doing this right now with "illegals". Your logic is that Weimar libs should've agreed with the nazis on "degenerate art" being a Judeo-Bolshevik plot, or some other nonsense.

When conservatives talk about crime, they are pretty explicitly talking about people they don’t want to have to look at. They perceive crime being high because they see Black and brown people

Like, they're literally in the process of disappearing a person they've falsely accused of being a criminal, at this very moment! Because he's from El Salvador and has a tattoo!

The whole conservative project is about criminalizing people’s existences. Criminalizing pregnancy outcomes, criminalizing poverty, criminalizing homelessness, criminalizing free expression re: gender, criminalizing speaking a different language. Hell, they’re even trying to criminalize eating bugs!

The whole “no person is illegal” slogan is in response to the right’s campaign of trying to criminalize people’s existences by literally calling them illegals.

I was literally about to bring up that analogy, and then he went and brought it up!
