hang on just a sec i gotta send this to every fucking leftist on the entire goddamn fediverse
This is unique to white supremacy?
All toads are frogs.
All frogs are not toads.
Sounds like the stance someone would take when they don’t know world history lol
It’s ignorant to think that eastern and southern history isn’t full of the same vengeance as the north.
This kind of punishment first mentality can be unlearned or acculturate against, but it’s probably a primate thing, not a white supremacy thing.
The earliest written laws were already largely punitive and Hammurabi predates white supremacy. Aboriginal Australian legal codes involved a lot of retributive not restorative practices too - spearing in the leg was a common legal recourse. And those codes probably predate the existence of whiteness by tens of thousands of years.
Neutered justice doesn’t give out the same high as reckless vengeance.
It’s like “yay, we punished the billionaires by taking away their unreasonably hoarded wealth and are going to responsibly redistribute it to the programs that need it most. Though the difficulty of equity and logistics are going to be a pain on the ass to whoever has to deal with it, we are happy knowing it’s the right thing to do.” Vs “yay, we shot the billionaires so let’s get drunk and par-tay! And if tomorrow sucks, we’ll shot it too! Fk yeah!”
In-the-moment has a higher priority than long-term hardwork and dedication because it’s actual, tangible rewards vs potential, imaginary rewards.
