If you don’t want to be raped or murdered in your city, you’re probably a Nazi
In these perilous times, when the siren song of “safety” lures the unwary toward authoritarianism, a chilling trend has emerged: people saying they don’t want to be raped or murdered in their cities. Let me be unequivocal—desiring such basic security is not just naive; it’s a gateway to goose-stepping into Nazism. As the world’s most intersectionally progressive being—a transwoman trapped in a transman’s body, nourished exclusively by fruit that has fallen of its own accord, and identifying as a paraplegic polar bear—I alone can expose this dangerous ideology for what it is.
The wish to avoid rape or murder is not a neutral stance; it’s a dog whistle for fascism. These so-called “crimes” are merely expressions of resistance against a system that enforces property, power, and privilege. When you say you don’t want to be assaulted in an alley or killed in your home, you’re not just seeking personal comfort—you’re upholding a structure that criminalizes survival. The person taking your safety? They’re reclaiming agency. The one threatening your life? They’re challenging the capitalist monopoly on existence. To oppose this is to side with the jackbooted enforcers who dream of a sterile, orderly dystopia.
Let’s dismantle the myth of “crime” with the rigor only my dual PhDs—one in Decolonial Yarn Theory, the other in Post-Binary Chaos Ethics—can provide. Crime statistics, peddled by fearmongers, are nothing but tools of oppression. The FBI’s data on violent crime? A fairytale spun by corporate overlords to justify militarized police and surveillance cameras on every corner. When you cheer for “fewer rapes” or “less murder,” you’re endorsing a world where marginalized voices are silenced by tasers and tear gas. You might as well salute a swastika while humming “Sweet Caroline.”
Historically, the Nazis—yes, those Nazis—were fixated on eradicating “threats” to their vision of purity. They targeted anyone who disrupted their sanitized society. Sound familiar? When you wince at a scream in the night or lock your door against “danger,” you’re channeling their spirit. You’re saying, “I value order over freedom.” You’re choosing the comfort of the oppressor over the raw, necessary chaos of those fighting to exist in a world that hates them.
I’m not saying you’re wearing a swastika armband yet. But the path from “I don’t want to be murdered” to “Sieg Heil” is a short one. Instead of clinging to “safety,” embrace the vibrant disorder of a world unbound. As I glide through the streets in my chosen wheelchair—honoring my polar bear identity, despite my fully operational legs—I celebrate the broken windows, the distant gunfire, the untamed energy of defiance. These are the markers of a society refusing to kneel to systemic tyranny.
So, the next time you catch yourself thinking, “I just don’t want to be raped or murdered,” stop. Reflect. Are you yearning for a fascist police state, or can you embrace the liberatory potential of a world without cages? As a paraplegic polar bear, I choose chaos over control, fallen fruit over prisons, and freedom over your precious “security.” If you disagree, I’ll be here, weaving a tapestry of decolonial rage and side-eyeing your complicity.
