Still thinking about the interaction I had over the weekend (where there was genuine right wing unrest in my city waheyy) where I popped a message onto my colleagues-but-we're-friends-we-go-for-drinks-and-dinner-sonetimes chat to make sure ppl were staying safe (many of us are of various minority groups) and I get a bit salty about how the police were mostly being shit and harassing the counter-protestors and one person pipes up with 'I don't subscribe to the acab thing sorry 😂' after talking about how many police were injured in other unrest and like.

I had to fully disengage myself because I work with and am friendly with these folks but sometimes you get smacked in the head with an opinion and suddenly lose the trust and respect you'd been building for someone over the last year huh

#im a big believer in not entrenching yourself in an echochamber and understanding things especially irl from a wide variety of backgrounds #and perspectives and being able to form your own opinion and convey that to others even when you disagree #but as a 27 year old trying their best to make new adult friendships and work being the best place to do that its. difficult.#lick the boot all you like I'll still be your colleague and work friend but fundamentally we Seriously disagree here #go on publicly mock me for having my dead rats in my freezer because its expensive to get them cremated and i want to wait until i buy #a house to bury them because thats BANTER but in 2024 do you really think our police is fit for purpose and doesnt unfairly treat minorities #because your family member was a cop? so its fine that the police let the EDL run rampant whilst only kettling the counter protestors bc #theyre chicken shit and can get away with it because the lefties wont fight back #lets all laugh at the racists getting bricked in the nuts together whilst IGNORING the part the police play in this situation #with several gays queers and muslims in the same group chat yh #no racism or islamophobia or homophobia or transphobia in the police no siree #ANYWAY my other work friend who was in another city at the time with worse right wing rioting replied to my 'you safe?' msg like acab?acab👍#rant posting over sorry guys i had another banana milkshake to calm down
