He wasn't spot on at all. The 2 slogans do not compare.

I edited my post while you posted this so I will just copy and paste.

"Defund the police" and "abolish the police" tried to be deep. Both slogans were used around the same time, and despite the revisionist history some were very serious about the total dismissal of the police. While some meant reform. Even when we focus strictly on those who meant reform, all to mean some deeper meaning of reforming the police is just dumb. Instead of just saying a slogan that cant be twisted like "Fix the Police" or "Reform the Police." The words "defund" and "abolish" does not mean reform or fix. Just a thought, how about not trying to be deep using a different word to mean something else. If you have to constantly clarify your deeper meaning, it's a dumb message. Because I know it's painfully difficult for those in their bubble who love the slogan to admit, not everyone is perpetually on TikTok and Twitter following your deep meaning of the word defund the police in a time frame that crime was being perceived to be high.

That doesn't compare to BLM which is much harder to twist the literal words which is simply, "black lives matter" as police were going around killing black lives. One has to intentionally twist it to mean only black lives matter.
