The problem with symbolic compliance isnโt just that they fall short of ending violence.
Itโs also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call โsymbolic compliance.โ
Thatโs when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Donc on a enfin une dรฉfinition moderne du fascisme : ยซย le fascisme cโest quand on tue des hommes blancs, dรฉjร . Si cโest des femmes ou des personnes racisรฉes, cโest juste de lโillibรฉralisme.ย ยป

Crowd has dispersed, I'm back in my car.
This video, to me, is emblematic of the evening. Minnesota cops protecting ICE while the agents lounge and look on, warm inside their hotel
ICE commits state violence, and the state is by default on their side

I can't help but think this looks a lot like the cycle of violence in domestic relationships, meaning that people don't realize it yet but as long as fascists are in power they will never feel safe, remembering what happened that time shit hit the fan.
So people will act in a way that pleases

What good work was Biden doing?
Do you mean the genocide he funded
Do you mean his intentional slow walking of prosecuting Trump and the fascists?
Do you mean his embrace of a fascist ethno state?
What good work?

Just remember at this moment chuck schumer and Jeffries as well as many other democrats at the national level are further right than Fox News on ice continuing to exist.
At this point they are closer to Trump than a vast majority of the country in their belief ice must continue to exist.
