    And don’t you tankies realize that the real violence is when you use the word “all” in “all cops are bastards”?

        The civility-brained libs in my life trot this one out all the goddamn time. It’s the most thought-terminating of the thought-terminating cliches. They interpret all systemic critiques as “dehumanizing,” broad generalizations. It doesn’t matter how I phrase it, I absolutely cannot get through to them.

          Chuds (and many liberals) cannot grasp that we do not believe that literally every cop is a spouse-abusing, mega-racist, wanna-be serial killer with a badge; rather, they are all in service to institutions that treat people as being worth less than property, and a system that is designed to protect and elevate the interests of the rich and elite over those of others, and THAT is why they are bastards. That many of them are abusive sociopaths only emphasizes the point, it is not the point itself.
