Well let's see what he can do with something that has nothing to do with children's shows and cops.

Gas prices? Let's see what he has to say about that.

I doubt it. Broken records rarely jump to a totally new record.
I got nothing to say here.

And maybe me saying I am perfect was a coping device to to deal with how I used to be almost a Tankie in my views, for a time. Then again, I was a perfect angel as a kid and since I have already acknowledged my mistakes on this forum and have basically done a 180 on the police issue, as my latest YouTube video can show, I don't know if there is anything else I need to improve on.

And my main issue with other leftists boils down to moral hypocrisy. I think someone should be absolutely consistent with their principals. If it is wrong for right wingers to wish death on or celebrate the deaths of their opponents, the reverse is true, as well.

You may not think those two things are equivalent but you cannot convince me they are not. I know the slippery slope is real because I almost fell down it myself and am worried about other leftists going down the same path.

Also, you guys practically worship Martin Luther King but he took the verse of the Bible about loving your enemy, to heart. You don't have to be religious to hold to that principal. So, any time you say it's okay to punch Neo nazis unprovoked or laugh at Rush Limbaugh's death, you are insulting MLK's memory.

I also think I am doing this because I feel like I am doing nothing with my life and this is the only way I know how to try and make the world better, my encouraging people to be better. I may also have a savior complex.

But we need shows with good cop characters to show kids that not every single cop is a monster and to prevent the spread of irrational hatred of cops, divorced from legitimate grievance, from taking root in the general public.

And watching a video of how this applies to the treatment of the LGBT community, also applies to police officers. The things I've mentioned are three of the ten stages of genocide.

No. That comparison is actually insane. "Voluntarily working a specific job" is not an inherent trait. It would be like genociding window washers.

For the love of all the gods, go outside. Join a community group, get to know your neighbors. Volunteer somewhere. Get a job that involves people. Maybe join an in-person d&d game. Something that involves actually interacting with a variety of people in smelling distance.

I've seen cops be dehumanized, discriminated against and read polarizing articles and watched polarizing videos. They also have been categorized as the enemy. Those are all stages of genocide.

I've also seen most of those things happen to Right Wingers, too. not that I'm defending their positions.

Cops. Are. Not. An. Ethnicity. Nobody is born a cop. People are mad about specific things cops actually routinely do to real people.
