oh, you did some hostile architecture? well, how about you face this wall, let me show you some real hostile architecture
Housing crisis or social crisis both work well too. The point is not to make the people the problem, but the thing that needs to actually be changed.
That's a good point. I'm gonna really stress that the next time I hear someone word it that way
It's good redirection of the issue. It doesn't allow the audience to make up their own solution to the issue, it says what the issue is and what needs to be changed on the face of it. Never let the audience make up their own solution -- provide leadership to them.
The monkey's paw curls and Americans now call it the "the Homeless Question"
Wait no please do not start looking for solutions, especially not a last one
take a fucking angle grinder to that shit and smooth it out. Put on a high-vis vest and a hard hat and I guarantee no one will think twice even if you did it in broad daylight. Do it you coastie cowards
to make this smoother with an angle grinder you'd have to cut it at the lower sections and it would leave it sharp as fuck with huge gaps. Am I missing something?
Is coastie a real slur? I’ve only heard of it before because a friend of mine saw “die coasties” scrawled on a hunting registry years ago. He took a picture of it and we were scratching our heads.
Yeah, but I feel like he deserves critical support for his right to repair efforts. Like, he has really good takes a lot of the time even if his overarching ideology doesn't make sense.
no idea, it just popped up in my recommended, I haven't seen any of his other stuff
He is a huge reactionary, but seems to place his right-to-repair activism on a way higher level of importance, and so keeps his mouth shut when he knows it would be harmful to that cause to speak. He is openly extremely racist and etc, but is smart enough to know not to say anything easily quoted to explain his views so people have to watch a lot of his videos to pick up on that. He also doesn't talk about his reactionary views very often, mostly just in passing.
He is openly extremely racist and etc
I thought this was the case. Which, doesn't it seem weird for someone to be racist and also care about the homeless? I'm just guessing here, but I'm assuming that like everything else in this country, homelessness disproportionately affects members of the POC community, right?
Most reactionaries have some sort of soft spot due to personal experiences. Super Christian racist homophobe that isn't transphobic, insanely racist LGBT ally biker are both common Kinds of Guy, for instance.
Fascinating. Cognitive dissonance is truly an amazing phenomenon. And proof of how deeply neoliberal propaganda has rooted itself in our collective consciousness
There is nothing coherent about that kind of reactionary thought. The only thing that unites them is political expedience.
