Love never ease the pain; and money can’t fill those holes in your Swiss cheese soul; how can you lose control if you never had it.

One of the more effective ideological tricks has been convincing ppl to think of themselves as taxpayers first and beneficiaries of public investment second. It makes the money taken from your paycheck visible, and obscures the collective resources that make earning even possible

Because pretty much every social activity has priced itself out of being worth the cost, even if we can afford it.

BREAKING: Pentagon prepares every major US military base to operate for at least 90 days without outside electricity, fuel, water or supplies, anticipating a major war that could cripple power grids, break global supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on US soil, per Fox News.
The plans include portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage and microgrids able to disconnect installations from the civilian electrical grid entirely.

This mindset stems from those who can’t imagine building mass movements that start off by championing the working class‘s demands and then develops them further. These people think they gotta lie to people because they don‘t understand the didactic process of revolution.

yimby policy solutions appeal to the same part of the brain that watches a lifehack video and can't help but go around the rest of the day telling everyone how if they just do this one thing...

the FHA backed fixed-rate 30-year mortgage is rent control for homeowners.. yimby's who talk incessantly of the tyranny of single family home zoning in the wealthy suburbs never mention it as a market distortion that should be abolished

Tell them to hire a cleaning service like every other home owner does. Your guests are not your employees. Y’all tried to destroy the hospitality industry not realizing you gotta do the hospitality part to compete with them. Now you got a second mortgage and no guests. 😭
🚨 #BREAKING: Airbnb hosts threaten to sue the company after it banned mandatory dishwashing, deep cleaning, and home improvement services be performed by guests.

Late stage capitalism is when people who bought up property and fucked the housing market go on strike because they can’t force their guests to do domestic labor

A lot of it was stripped away because white Boomers didn’t want Black people to benefit from those safety nets and systems. There’s a reason the credit score didn’t exist until 1980.

again... I say yimby is proto-fascist - its internal logics justify displacing low-income communities (of color) in the name of a greater good and mainstream the idea that if we mass deport immigrants it will improve affordabilty.. this is nasty work and it has infected the left

Until folks understand that you don’t own anybody platonically or romantically all of your relationships will fail. that’s the beginning and end of it. You don’t own people, they make a choice to be with you or to engage in friendship. Stop thinking & moving like an overseer.

One of the more depressing aspects of being an American is the absolute dearth of mentorships available to young people, especially among leftists. Every old person I know is completely incapable of grasping the world that's been created in their lifetime and its consequences.
