Urgh… yes honey officer…

Okay, so do not exist at all in the presence of cops. Somehow. Got it.

Okay, so smiling is bad. What the fuck is the solution to not look suspicious to cops at this point? Making eye contact is suspicious, but not making eye contact is also suspicious. So what, are we supposed to Sneak 100 past them when we see them from afar now? Is that it?

At which point does a society realizes that maybe we have an issue when people are actively trying to avoid cops even though they are not doing anything that is against the laws? How many people need to be detained over nothing? How many people need to be brutalized with no consequences to their blue aggressors? How many people need to be killed by the “finest”?

I treat cops like a rogue militia. I avoid them when I can, and otherwise, I feel the need to watch my every step because they are completely unpredictable. And for fuck’s sake, I’m white! Needless to say, cops are much less on the lookout for me. When I hear the stories of people from different ethnicities, it’s fucking terrifying.

But hey, gotta protect the rich somehow, I guess.

God, this is disgusting. For fucks sake, is it really that hard to just put a tiny bit of effort in your meme? Like, finding pictures and typing text yourself. That can’t be hard. This AI-generated slop is awful. I don’t even know why it’s allowed on here.

Also, and this is more political and I hate to say it, but a reminder that we, the French, lost this battle. We are often idealized, but we’ve been losing every fight we’ve been leading for years now. Last time we had this massive wave of protest like that, it kind of killed most social movements here. We are very much struggling to do anything nowadays because we put up this massive fight and we lost, nothing happened in our favor. We got nothing. Not even a small concession. Nothing. Things just get worse.

Our way might be better, but I don’t think it’s good. I don’t want to be a doomer telling you that nothing is worth it. No. But I don’t think this is it. I don’t think this is the way to do it. I wish I could have a solution to give. Meanwhile, all I can recommend is, organize locally, as best as you can. Protect your local community. And stop making AI slop. Please, for the love of everything.
