That's interesting, because All Coppers are Bastards was first used in the 1920s, and abbreviated in the 1940s to ACAB by striking workers.
Could it be, perhaps, that you're just attempting to slander perfectly valid critique of brutal, draconian systems to fascism itself as a form of fascist apologia? Why else would you be lying about valid critique, if not to undermine it?
Maybe you can come up with something original?
Like your lie about ACAB originating with skinheads in the 70s? Nah, I'll let history be factual. Historical fiction is great, but you can't pretend your fascist fanfiction is reality, bud
If I was a fascist wouldn't I want people to keep using the term if I claimed the term was fascist? You make no sense. Anyone who reads the article and the citations knows I'm not making it up. You're just trying to embolden laziness amongst the angry and then wonder why leftists don't accomplish anything meaningful.
Do some work and research instead of ego bolstering and you might make some real changes.
Anyone who has access to the internet can tell you're full of shit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACAB
You're claiming an antifascist term has fascist origins, because you want to tie antifascism to fascism. This is fascist apologia, making fascism not seem as bad and making the left seem bad.
I'm not trying to "embolden laziness among the angry" or whatever the fuck you think I'm doing, I'm calling out misinformation presented by someone trying to paint the left as fascist so as to take away from the ACAB movement. That makes you, at best, an extreme reactionary, and at worst, a fascist.
"Leftists don't accomplish anything meaningful" is a right-wing talking point.
MGN22 is a far-right concern troll, just check their history.
False, stop spreading fake shit like this and reconsider your life path
Even if it's true, so what? Just because they're bastards for the opposite reason doesn't mean they're not bastards.
Where did the term come from then?
Allegedly, British strikers in the 40's, maybe earlier. The phrase itself is older. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACAB
Might have been used by any number of groups upset with police. It's anti police.
Why are you trying to associate it with racist skinheads?
It's a 1 month old account. Not a hard guess.
A heavily downvoted 1 month old account.
Their 1 month old @MGN22@lemmy.ca alt account is no better.
Anecdotal but I heard it was your mama.
Cool, glad to see the broken clock got something right
