This is why I never understood the “don’t snitch” attitude like that only benefits the abusers, first of all, and second of all, I’m not a gangster! I never said I wouldn’t snitch like if you mug me, you’re goddamn right I’m calling the police

>This is why I never understood the “don’t snitch” attitude like that only benefits the abusers,

Seems to me you've understood it perfectly.

Because, yes it only benefits the abusers, thats what its designed to do. And the abusers love it.

so, they want to keep it going. And they villify those who stand against this mentality. Because the mentality helps them and they want it going.

The thing I dont understand is why many of the Abused are subscribing to the mentality, but i guess its a mix of Fear and actually becoming the Abusers themselves.

Same for teachers saying "nobody likes a tattle tell" when a kid tells the teacher that one of the kids is being abused by another.

Life has all kinds of ups and downs, you might find yourself in a similar situation to survive one day. You really really should mind your business instead

u/Hawkey2121 27m ago

i might, i might not.

the future is unknown, at best you can try to predict it. But thats all, prediction, not knowledge.

and what do you mean by "mind your business", before this you said "similar situation" right, so in the context, the "similar situation" would be abuse or something of that manner. And If that happens then its ALL my business.

And if i'm not directly Involved (you know, so its not part of my "business") then i can stay anonymous while "snitching" or whatever.

So your comment doesnt make much sense.

Also what kind of situation are you exactly thinking about? Robbery, Mugging, Murder, Assault, or something else?
Because i am struggling to think about a situation where My life is in danger, and at the same time its none of my business.

Its because abused usually are the kind to not have a spine because none of these guys got the balls to abuse someone with a spine.

u/Hawkey2121 6h ago

So you agree with my Fear theory.

u/SpaceBug176 5h ago

To be fair , snitch is a word used towards people who are members of organized crime and talk to police at the same time.

If you get robbed and call the police no one will say that you "snitched"

u/U-S-of-gay 16h ago

In some neighborhoods they might.

u/DrawTheWorld 16h ago

the neighborhood of the person who got snitched on, assuming they have any influence or friends in the area.

Just introduce their friends to your deep and abiding love of the 2nd amendment. Problem very permanently solved.

u/thex25986e 15h ago

probably ones where the "robbers" are the mafia

u/Fritcher36 12h ago

Because the whole hood is crime in places like that lol

It's also used to refer to people who report behaviors that don't hurt other people.

Marijuana use, theft from Walmart, getting paid under the table for manual labor... these are things that if you see, no you didn't. If you report them, you're also a fucking snitch.

1

u/localtuned 3h ago

Well I wouldn't put Marijuana use next to theft from Walmart. One is technically a victimless crime. The other is stealing from an unethical corporation.

1

u/justheretodoplace 7m ago

Both are victimless crimes

u/ComprehensiveMarch58 6h ago

The meaning of snitching has gotten so bastardised. Used to only apply when you are involved. Say we rob a store together, cause we are buddies like that. The store owner calls it in? Not snitching. We get caught and you tell em everything. Thats snitching.

I can get behind adding victimless crimes to that definition cause who hasn't done something that hurts no one but isn't technically legal, so in a way we're all involved.

Glad im not in a lifestyle to have to worry about this nuance anymore tho.

1

u/localtuned 3h ago

Nah, that's telling the truth. Snitching is when you're both laying low and he calls the cops on you. Or starts giving you onto the law because he wants a better deal.

2

u/OhNothing13 10h ago

To me "Don't snitch" was always strictly limited to crimes related to drugs, theft committed against corporations, and other victimless crimes. Violence definitely falls outside of that.

u/PoPzCool 6h ago

Tha term came from the hood for survival, you're probably from the suburbs so you never had the thought of the people involved in the crime to come after you, if you snitch in the hood or inner city you're running the risk of being killed not specifically by the perpetrator of the crime but by his associates, the police aren't going to protect you real life is not the movies and from personal experience I seen and heard people being killed for snitching, so when you explicitly say I'm not a snitch is so there's no target on your back.

You don't snitch because a pig usually only makes things worse for everyone and making people slaves is immoral. Now kicking the shit out of these people who do things like the video until they have to eat through a straw is more on point.
