CTDummy@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoThanks for the informative reply! I was worried how my questions came off. I didn’t realise pink washing spanned to detention centres as well. Almost laughable if it wasn’t depressing.

I appreciate the question, honestly.
It is mostly about pink washing, we’ve certainly seen plenty of that sort of thing coming from Israel as they try to sanitise the genocide.
I think there’s an important point to be made on cops though. While in some communities, the police have only ever been a good presence that makes people feel safe, there are many others where police represent only violence. To the indigenous and immigrant communities, police are a force who rip families apart, physically assault and even kill people in custody. Trans people face similar discrimination and violence, and there’s essentially no incentive for the police to change.

Cheers, I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate even if I don’t necessarily agree with it all 100%. Hope you enjoy the event and no dickheads turn up.
