Shantilly is a musician and abolitionist with whom I’ve enjoyed interacting with on twitter. They’re a working musician who makes haunting and evocative songs. My current favourite of theirs is “Deicide”:
We all benefit from having people working to decorate time for us, and our society undervalues musicians – and other artists – to a criminal degree. Check out their work, and support them if you can!
Conversely, my favorite song by Deicide is “When Satan Rules His World,” haha,
Abolitonist!?
I guess, tragically and horribly there is such a thing as modern slavery but that’s just not a word I expected to hear outside of historical context..
I won’t speak for them, but I’ve heard the phrase used for both abolition of police (as a step or two beyond defunding), and abolition of prisons.
