You can't just say "restorative justice" as a way of having people avoid the more brutal consequences of crime without a baseline understanding of what that means and the concept of social justice in general. It's way more complicated than that.
There are also MANY limitations to the restorative justice model. For one thing it requires restitution. The victim must be made whole. For crimes involving white supremacy that means reparations and a reordering of society.
How are you going to have restorative justice for white supremacists crimes, if once the process is over the victims of racism and its perpetrators go back to a society where they are unequal?! That is not justice.
You just want to be racist without consequences. If you believe in restorative justice, but your advocacy starts with white nationalists, you have no idea what you're talking about. You have no conception of justice at all. FOH
oh and for everybody else, please stop giving all the attention to these baby Nazbol trying to start a brand. Instead give it to actual organizers activists and writers who can't get traction cuz they value theory and praxis over clout.
