The diagram is titled 'ACAB includes' and shows a line from left to right with various occupations and figures placed on a sliding scale from 'widely accepted' to 'fringe opinion'. From left to right, they are: Cops; feds; prosecutors; WalMart loss prevention; Columbo; spider-man; the [cop] in your head; police dogs; landlords; the Demiurge; Doctors; the FDA; the IRS; spirit mediums; Mario; Jeff Probst; Teachers; Parents; the EPA; Nurses; Librarians; Pet parents; firefighters; Doctors without borders; and the girl reading this.

I would expect “the IRS” to be more widely accepted than “Doctors” given that they don't investigate rich people that hard

Sorry but I refuse to believe Columbo is more widely accepted than Landlords

Aaron Gable @asg10/23/2023, 2:00 AM

All landlords are bastards, but for separate reasons than because they may or may not be cops. Columbo, though... textually a Cop.

Abhorrent Non-Euclidian Fake Orphan Malefactor @TheFlux10/23/2023, 5:43 AM

Textually a cop but I've only ever see him go after rich privileged arrogant assholes, which is the complete opposite of the usual M.O. of actual police

Don't forget the Zootopia bunny that canonically started a racial (specicial...?) incident. Acab until they're hot furries I guess

little terrified to see my profession in there until I realized that somehow spirit mediums are more cop than we are

we had a sticker "ACAB includes NIST" for a while. it was more intended to be thought-provoking than a serious position, although we do certainly think NIST views its mission, in part, as extending US hegemony. it didn't survive the transfer to our new laptop top cover, which wasn't really too saddening since it wasn't really leading to the types of conversations we wanted, but we're glad we tried it on as a slogan for a little while.
