Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." is not just a statement about a tool being tainted by its origin. It's about what kind of tool a "master" would create: Whips. Chains. Violent suppression.

That's the meaning: You cannot just take tools whose purpose and politics is dominance and violence and "make them liberatory". This goes deeper than "just" embedded politics or lofty talks about ethics, it comes down to what kind of relations you believe do and should and must not structure the world.

When I tell y'all how many people work for the NYPD, and that their budget ($12B/yr) is greater than the military budget of almost every country on earth, people think I'm exaggerating.

I'm not.

So when they say that they "Don't have enough resources," to pursue all the sex crimes or thefts? They are lying.
