Why are seagulls so good at pilates? They’ve got excellent caw strength

Almost every celeb that’s done Sesame Street has said that, even seeing the people with the hands right there, they forgot they were talking to puppets. It is a genuine form of illusion

I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m not trying to win this. I’m trying to have a conversation. So, in a post abolition world, how would the crime solving organisation look? You can link me to something if it helps

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yes, but that doesn’t mean we should give up trying to solve crimes. We should defund the roving gangs of thugs, stop chasing numbers and arresting drug users, try to solve more violent crimes. We don’t have to call them police if you don’t want to

I can make my own toast, I can’t arrest my own murderers. We shouldn’t allow the police to beat or kill people

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I'm not as hostile to this idea as you seem to think I am. You don't need to teach me that the state claims the monopoly on brute force. If someone is murdered, some police investigate the murder and some police arrest the murderer. That's a legitimate role.

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I was asked when the police were ever not armed thugs and I was pointing out that in the UK the police behaving as armed thugs is less of a regular occurrence

This is possibly true but only if the woman in question was Wiley Coyote

This makes it sound like you’re fine with apartheid if they’ve got the votes, which isn’t a great look. Apartheid was only overturned after years of international pressure. Do you support BDS?

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

And I do appreciate there’s white privilege in that viewpoint

000

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I’m not denying that they can be, just that you’re less likely to get your head cracked or get shot because an officer “feels threatened”. I’ve been on protests where I’ve been kettled etc, I’m not denying there are bad interactions, just that it’s less the default

200

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yes, but that was two prominent uk journalists I was arguing with, so you can see what I’m dealing with

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Ok, let’s assume you’re right. In your new set up, someone is attacked and injured by someone else, what do they do to seek restitution?

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m from the UK. Our police being armed thugs is a relatively recent development

200

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m aware the police don’t have to be armed thugs, but you’re talking about no police

Too white to comment on George Monbiot?! I’m amazed I have a corporeal form

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Also, are you particularly taking issue with defund the police? I’m having like 8 debates at once

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

You might have to explain this to me because that’s 6 years ago and I don’t live in America, but Biden won. If there’s a deeper point, genuinely I need you to explain it and I say that with humility

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Again, I’m definitely on the side of the Palestinians I just don’t dig the slogan. Also, the original post is about a political party that are literally trying to become the state power in the uk

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Also bear in mind I’m in the UK so, although I’ve been subject to more class warfare than you might assume, the oppression is inherently different to in the US

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It’s more the practical application that I’m struggling with, given how society is currently arranged. I’m genuinely interested to hear more

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Ok, that was wrong of me and I apologise. What is your thinking on the subject?

000

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Because not everyone holds the same definition of Zionism Case in point (thread): bsky.app/profile/tomm...

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I get that the current police structure is beyond saving (particularly in the US), but there’s got to be some alternative and I don’t assume to know your thinking on the subject based on two words

200

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m a prison abolitionist, but there’s a viable rehabilitation model as an alternative. I’m trying to get my head around what you do with no police, it’s utopian thinking. You need there to be no violent crime before you have no police.

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Ok, yes, I can get with that. Abolish prisons and switch to a rehabilitation mode and phase out the police in favour of social care

000

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

So what does it matter whether they have state branding or not? What does the general public do?

000

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

So rich people have private militias, what then?

200

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Fine if that means abolish and start from scratch, but without some basic tax funded police, the rich will be the only ones protected even more so than now

200

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

If no funding is a realistic option, then they’re not in a position to make demands. Are you talking about a volunteer only police force?

I feel like I saw them all, but I do not want to list them

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Then why isn’t the slogan “abolish the police”?

100

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I have less issues with “defund the police” than I do with ”Zionism is Racism”, I just think maybe e.g. “Demilitarise the police” would be clearer

200

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I believe the phrase “Zionism is Racism” is too blunt to convince anyone who’s not already on our side

300

Michael Myers Penguins @tommyds.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I’m not trying to appease anyone, just that people who think Zionism means “oh, Jewish people just want somewhere to live” and who don’t realise that “a Jewish State” almost always means ethnostate will hear “Zionism is Racism” and immediately switch off
