How ttf do you even get data like this?

if you click through to the source, which is reddit, you can see that in many cases you don’t need any data at all! you can just retitle a population map, and delete your account when people ask for a source. hope this helps ❤

So I finally read Against the Logic of the Guillotine, and it is quite good. It’s not just about the titular guillotine so much as “revolutionary” leftists revenge fantasies of mass violence when We Finally Win.

Which I am getting real fucking tired of.

And more importantly, it talks about useful alternatives which don’t negate, for example, the necessity of self-defense or collective action.

Anyways, here’s an excerpt:

The guillotine has come to occupy our collective imagination. In a time when the rifts in our society are widening towards civil war, it represents uncompromising bloody revenge. It represents the idea that the violence of the state could be a good thing if only the right people were in charge.
Those who take their own powerlessness for granted assume that they can promote gruesome revenge fantasies without consequences. But if we are serious about changing the world, we owe it to ourselves to make sure that our proposals are not equally gruesome.

For what it’s worth I think this similar kind of imaginary-violent-revenge-justice-thing logic is why some ostensible leftists (especially younger ones) will argue in favor of incarceration or the death penalty but Only For Really Bad People and miss the point that state violence is bad regardless of who is doing it. Another quote to this effect:

Then, as now, there are people who want to think of themselves as radical without having to actually make a radical break with the institutions and practices that are familiar to them. “The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living,” as Marx said.

Anyways; a good read on some stuff that’s been bothering me lately.

Do I want to take revenge on the police officers who murder people with impunity, on the billionaires who cash in on exploitation and gentrification, on the bigots who harass and dox people? Yes, of course I do. They have killed people I knew; they are trying to destroy everything I love. When I think about the harm that they are causing, I feel ready to break their bones, to kill them with my bare hands.
But that desire is distinct from my politics.  I can want something without having to reverse-engineer a political justification for it. I can want something and choose not to pursue it, if I want something else even more—in this case, an anarchist revolution that is not based in revenge. I don’t judge other people for wanting revenge, especially if they have been through worse than I have. But I also don’t confuse that desire with a proposal for liberation.

Because I’m sick to fucking death of viral posts about zip ties, or those scam signs about selling houses or needing cheap labor, or mini-vans hanging out at the gas station. That shit isn’t real, and it VICTIMIZES! real victims by covering up what really happens with fake 1980s stranger danger BS and makes it harder for real victims to get support and sets up a blame the victim narrative. So fucking stop it god damn.

and most victims of child sex trafficking fall into two categories:

  • children exploited and trafficked by their families
  • Homeless minors engaging in survival sex work

One of the best ways to reduce sex trafficking is to provide resources and a robust safety net to allow people to escape from abusive situations. Housing first initiatives, safe injection sites with addictive drugs provided by local governments, and support for nontraditional family structures can all help to reduce sex trafficking.

Most of the victims of sex trafficking are safe to traffic because they’re people society has already decided that they don’t care about. Most are easy to traffic because they don’t have anyone they can go to for help.

I know these tweets are from 2019 but 2020 saw a massive surge in discussions of sex trafficking with almost no talk about who the victims are, and even less talk about how much more common labor trafficking is (and how hard things are for trafficked workers).

So. Like. Please shut the fuck up about the wayfair conspiracy theory and direct that energy to harassing your city council about housing first plans and expanding city services resources for abuse survivors.
