I hope this is a joke.

Because it is weird. It's even weirder for any average person to defend it.

There's a bunch of different autonomous groups, with no one "founder." This has always been the single talking point that the fox news crowd loves to parrot to sound like a "gotcha" when they want to be racist but are too cowardly to show who they really are. If that's not obvious by now, then idk what to tell you, except that arguing against human rights and for police brutality is not going to endear you to people.

so we can ban crosses

When there's comments here bringing up the first amendment and apparently forgetting that it includes that whole thing about not having a national religion, which is exactly what's happened/continuing to happen with christianity. It's just a little bit different than "black lives matter," which is just..a fact?

Yeah, I'm seeing this kind of trash on a lot of posts when lemmy was not even close to this bad just a month ago. It's fucking gross.

Just thinking of this makes me laugh

And then they charge you hundreds to thousands of dollars for those classes so that once you do find a job, they just garnish your wages.

They charge you for drug tests and "renting" ankle monitors, and if you don't pay they just throw you back in jail. Which sometimes has its own fees. Even public defenders can have fees depending on your state/county, and they will threaten to take you to small claims court over the $50 they billed you without telling you. For counsel that literally exists to represent poor people. Ask me how I know.

If only those were the people that US cops actually arrested.
