Haven't been on here much since making my account. But that security alert needs to be a reminder, do not EVER post anything HERE or ANYWHERE ELSE that is not end to end encrypted that you are not okay with the FBI, CIA, NSA, KGB, ATF, NCIS, and the rest of the godsdamned alphabet knowing instantly.

Posts on Kolectiva are not secret, they are not safe. This is a known anarchist instance and thus likely to be INTENSELY monitored by all sorts of  and . Anything you post here WILL be known to law enforcement INSTANTLY.

@Merovie It is absolutely true that poor people are targeted by police. That's just a fact. What the brilliant scholar you're quoting has missed is that black (and pretty much anyone who's not white) people are far larger targets by an order of magnitude regardless of their economic status and poor black people get it double for being both.

Hate it when folks like that are partially right because correcting their obvious wrongness can distract from things like the fact that economic class IS a factor even though race is a *far greater* factor.

People like that make intersectionalism far more difficult.
