Madness in Minneapolis
My City Council in Minneapolis has decided to de-something the police. Defend? Nah. Defund.But by 'defund', they don’t mean 'abolish', silly. And by 'abolish', they don’t mean 'abolish' at all. They mean something far less radical, which is why they chose the most alarming and polarizing words in the dictionary. Except also they mean 'abolish'.Confused? Don’t worry — the result will be so much better, because the idea is the reimagining of the power structures that have systematically arisen to systemize systemic systemism, structurally. Also, no debate, it’s a done deal, because this is what democracy looks like.
