I wonder if their justification is radlib rhetoric about how “BLM isn’t political sweetie” because “we can disagree on which politicians to vote for who systemically brutalize Black people but not about HUMAN RIGHTS like BLM”.
There really isn’t a disconnect between human rights and politics. That’s lib shit. Every political/policy decision affects someone else, usually people at the bottom who are disproportionately brown and poor.
One of their dumbass mods once explained: state violence isn’t “political” because politics is when celebrities say something about politicians on twitter or a politician says something stupid or snarky, not when systems created and supported by politicians have real, material consequences.
they made the electoralism channel but these dweebs don’t know what that means
