You are not safe from this. You, the person reading this, are not safe from this. No matter how educated or open minded you think you are, you are not safe from this. The moment you think you are safe from it is the moment you become the most susceptible.

Its similar to why you cannot put bad people in a class of their own. The moment you do that you stop being able to see the bad things that the people closest to you do a la "my best friend couldn't have said that racist thing, they're not evil."

The moment you think you are immune from this type of backslide into right wing nonsense is the moment you stop questioning yourself enough to keep yourself from backsliding into right wing nonsense a la "I mean im not antiscience, im vaccinated, I just think that fluoride in our water supply is imparting children's ability to learn as fast as they otherwise could without it."

Remember, being progressive means progressing, its about always moving forward. The moment you rest on your laurels and stop putting in effort to keep the progression is the moment you start becoming left behind.

a few months ago i had a sleep study done. the woman who administered the study told me she's been working there for 30 years. she spent the hour or so that it took to apply all the electrodes and sensors monologuing to me about all her various conspiracy theories. the thing that stuck out to me is that much of what she, a medical professional, was saying was true: proven data about how blue light affects our sleep patterns, things like that. but she also wanted me to know fluoride in the drinking water is giving us all mental disorders, vaccines cause autism, SSRIs build up 'toxins' in your body, and of course how trump's administration is going to fix everything. the insidious nature of cult-like belief systems makes being vigilant to misinformation, even in the face of authority, vitally important.

• Trump removed bird safety regulations in his first term and now bird flu is killing so many laying hens that eggs are $5 a carton
• Trump removed food safety standards his first term and now we have recalls every few weeks
• Trump cut the subsidies for the solar farms under construction so now electricity costs more
• Trump disbanded the pandemic response team and we now we have bird flu and tuberculosis outbreaks

The Punisher does this and the crime is murder

The Punisher doesn’t stop crime, he punishes criminals. Big difference. Crime Man is more proactive than that.

So what you really mean is like. A totalitarian government that profiles people and arrests them before they commit crimes (which is a crime)

No, it’s more like stopping a credit fraud from happening by comitting arson.

*A mugger threatening me with a knife* Give me your money!

*Crimeman appearing from the darkness with a bigger knife* NO CRIMINAL! You give me YOUR money!

I love the efforts to get deeply analytical and political but op just shuts them down with no crime man does CRIME

BUT BETTER

He finds out someone’s planning to rob the bank so he robs it first so there isn’t any money left when they get there. 

Armed robbery? Hold their family hostage until they deliver their guns in an unmarked bag behind a gas station

• shirt and pants with horizontal black and white stripes
  
• A black domino mask
  
• A dark grey wool hat
  
• a big sack with a dollar sign on it where he stores his gadgets
  
• a yellow sash reading “CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS”

I drew fanart

did I get it right?

Now that’s a hero if I’ve ever seen one.

Check out this amazing Crime Man comic by @micaxiii

You do the crime, you get the crime.

The plan is working!

HE LOOKS LIKE THE QUOTE ‘Be Gay Do Crimes”

He is gay, and does crimes.

Crime Man strikes again

I like Crime man

And Crime Man likes you too

¿ what are his Powers?

Resourcefulness, audacity, and a sense of humor.

By the way, Crime Man lives in Florida.

op i respect you but absolutely no part of this post required clarification that crime man lives in florida. that was already understood.

This is one of those posts that you stop what you’re doing and read it to your partner(s)

Read the story on AO3 to them as well while you’re at it.

He’s the hero we didn’t need and didn’t know we wanted.

@notaplaceofhonour allow me to introduce you to the lantern shield

they were basically rich fuckboy dueling weapons for night fighting so the candle in that little slot would blind your enemy then all the spiky bits would make trapping their weapon super easy and then you'd just stab them

they were also kind of just blacksmiths showing off because they knew their customers were rich idiots. look at how fucking intricate all that detail work is. The articulation on that gauntlet? Pornographic.

they are very very silly and I love them

fuckin hell yeah!
