With the coming wave of evictions and shit like this, criminalizing homelessness, makes me wonder if we're headed for the cool zone or will americans just roll over like they always do.
Americans are the most cucked populace on Earth, so probably the latter.
I was so excited during the Floyd protests of last year. I thought we were finally turning a corner :sadness:
They really used that "crime wave" to set back all progress. During the time, I told some people I think on the old sub that this will likely end up in failure, but like 1905, we learn from those failures and better understand what to do.
I'm surprised at how quickly things basically returned to normal after all that.
If a million people become homeless over the course of a year or two probably nothing happens. If I they lost their homes within a few weeks or a month then something might happen. There’s no class consciousness in this country so the only shot at it is an extreme and sudden shock.
Fascists have never been good to/with the unhoused. Their rhetoric works best with previously comfortable members of the ethnic/cultural majority feeling the sting of Liberal failure. We need to act decisively in the next weeks.
You want to talk to the people getting evicted and renters. Suburbanites are cucked. The people being most fucked have the best chance, you just have to talk them, AND be patient with them.
Americans growing their giant bellies all the better to roll over and expose them, my dear
By late 2024, the twenty square blocks that made up Sanctuary District A had become overcrowded slums. With the records of people inside the Sanctuaries not uploaded to the planetary computer network (and therefore not accessible using an Interface), the true conditions inside were unknown to the general public. American society believed that, despite the political upheaval affecting Europe at the time, the United States was stable and had found a way to successfully deal with the social problems that had been the genesis of the Sanctuaries. An "out of sight, out of mind" mentality had set in. People in the district started to believe that their needs were forgotten.

Reason for scenario one: An evil and failed system.
Reason for scenario two: Individual moral depravity and lack of Personal Responsibility™
Hey if weed is legalized they gotta find some way to fill prisons.
i'm sure this is tied to separate legislation allocating (and raising) ample public funds to provide temporary housing, mental healthcare, and job and skill training, for such situated persons.
Right there with you. This simply means they're eradicating homelessness! Based pasta man, vafanculo to the poverty.
I know people in Atlanta and Chicago that were setting up squats and organizing homeless unions; hopefully something like that is happening in LA too.
Contrast to Kerala, where rather than illegalize begging, they've decided to eliminate it by ending extreme poverty
