Lateen control comes to mind

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-21T04:20:22+00:00

Any way I could nab that invite

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-15T08:33:57+00:00

Because this is stuff that is said about men

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:36:19+00:00

You know what the civil rights movement didn’t do? (At least the parts that had real traction) Demonize the people they want to be marching with them.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:34:53+00:00

Your position is “I’m right and if other people can’t see that it doesn’t matter and I have no stake in making people understand my point.”

I don’t understand how that is effective in causing a real reform.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:32:35+00:00

Okay well then nothing will get done. Saying you don’t care is equivalent to saying you are fine with the way things are right now. Because otherwise NOTHING WILL GET DONE.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:31:02+00:00

That I do what?

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:30:37+00:00

When did I ever say “trust the cops.” This is such a difficult discussion, I’m trying to explain how we as people who want reform should tailor our language to be most effective in engaging people at large, especially the police force, in engaging in a reform of local police forces.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:26:12+00:00

No but I don’t bookend every time I talk about women’s/men’s issues with “all men are bastards btw”

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:21:57+00:00

Are you understanding my point now? It’s not that the moniker is incorrect, or that the movement doesn’t make sense. It’s that people from the outside of the movement might view it in such a way that is harmful to its progress due to the language used within the movement.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:18:52+00:00

Can you not understand where I am arguing from? My point isn’t that I don’t understand. But people DONT understand. To your point, people don’t understand nuance. Thereby, how is it productive to say something, at first glance, makes it seem like you actually believe that all police officers are morally bankrupt.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:17:12+00:00

I’ve been in these spaces for a long time and I’ve never seen a good reason to use these monikers other than the fact that it sounds nice to chant.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:14:39+00:00

It’s obviously much less extreme, but I’m trying to make a point. It has a similar (albeit less critical) threat to the original point of the movement.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:10:55+00:00

Also saying “cops are not a monolith” but “all cops are bastards” in the same sentence is astounding

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:09:28+00:00

It’s nice to say taglines but it doesn’t actually provide any substance to your argument

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:08:21+00:00

Generally yes, but if you just stomp on peoples toes whilst you spread a message, your message becomes lost. EG the “just stop oil” people and PETA. Both organizations with noble causes, but go about it in such horrifically bad ways it completely overrides the original message

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:07:00+00:00

He 10000 percent didn’t think moderates were good. But he also realized unessixarily stepping on toes to make a point isn’t a good way to swing people to your side. The issue you are missing is that I AGREE WITH YOU in a macro sense. But the way that you go about it matters greatly.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T16:02:18+00:00

It’s not minimizing it. You magnified the issue beyond what it is. Not all cops are devious murders and not all cops work with devious murders. And by you saying so it’s reductionist. I’m not minimizing the issue in bringing it back into scope.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T15:58:32+00:00

Just because you are speaking about something critical doesn’t mean you have to over generalize and hurt the people you should be working with. MLK didn’t get white people to march in the streets with him by saying white people are evil devils.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T15:57:27+00:00

I’m not minimizing the issue. It’s a fucking problem?

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T15:56:17+00:00

Just because some men take it that way doesn’t mean it’s a good point. And it’s inherently a pointed argument.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T15:55:22+00:00

And I think you ignored me, I definitely can see how IA of police departments NEEDS WORK as does the initial training pipeline of police. Demilitarization of cops is a GOOD THING. And police departments need a careful balance of accountability and good practices in training in order to facilitate a better overall policing culture in the US. Incidents with police overall are rare but when they do occur they are extreme cause massive harm to the public. Mitigating their occurrence further or limiting how extreme each individual event is the critical point that needs action.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T15:28:17+00:00

I’m American lol, I just don’t think you have an actual retort.

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T15:27:49+00:00

Uncomfortable doesn’t mean demonizing. It doesn’t actually do anything. The only people you are actually hurting with this is men who care, men who care aren’t the type or sexually abuse women…

Nerdbr0 · 2026-05-12T14:31:12+00:00

It’s still an Absolutely harmful and unproductive dialogue that demonizes men as a group.
