Of course. If the opposite was true, there would be no hope of humans. But becoming a good person mean understanding that it is impossible to avoid the influences of the systems of dominations that we live around.
Because, here is the important part: We talk about rapist and murderers as if there were the ones who - unlike the rest - do very bad thing. But reality is different:
The reality of domination system is that depending on our material interests our lives our influences or educations or any other material conditions.. we are placing ourselves on different places on the scale but never forget:
We are ALL on the scale
And our places can go up, but they can also go down. This is why seeing rapists as monster is useless and will only confuse your understanding of the world. Humans all have the potential to do wrong and to do horribly bad things. It depends on many factors.
Politicization allows us to understand these factors.
There is necessarily something that made you understand this. Perhaps you don't remember and it's ok. But you can't simply bypass the influence of your environment. There is necessarily something that influenced you to think the opposite way.
It could be as simple as a queer person saying hello to you in your youth.
Van. Really. I'm sick of you constantly lying or twisting - specifically -
my words when making a point.
So either you prove your point from now on and quote me the message either you shut it.
But stop lying like a bad faith moderator, you are better than that. It's VERY unlikely that I said this sentence.
What probably happened, rather, is me saying something like "it is very unlikely for someone who has bad encounter with cops to become one themselves". Which would be much more rationnal and completely different from what you are trying to say.
