How has the world allowed the rogue State of Israel to not only livestream a genocide, but also destroy the global economy and international institutions?! Oh wait, it’s that they’ve been committing genocide and slowly destroying international institutions since its birth
@MarieMeuhMeuh@maddenifico You’re asking too much about idiot Americans, including what passes as the “left” and resistance here…we’re more likely to get the failed revolutions of 1848
@l0gicth0t Word. Sad how politically fragile even existing services are for undocumented folks - even in California. I don’t have a take. I understand the safety concerns, understand wanting better access to employment for all , and also get the challenges of finding work as an immigrant
@handybobandy@katewillett You’re patient, handy. The Left NIMBYs don’t listen when you say YIMBY is inclusive of mass social housing/affordable housing along with missing middle and private development. We need a comprehensive strategy ofc. But they run on vibes-based politics and cynical resentment
@l0gicth0t Who are the main culprits/ what are the main scenarios where people do this? Here in LA it’s a lot of undocumented folks working on, ostensibly, their relative’s account while waiting for work permit. But there might be some deeper darker near-slave labour piece I’m missing too
I know I’m getting old and tepid because Apple TV+ lineup of sci-fi are all hitting hard. Foundation is top of the list, but Silo and Dark Matter are brilliant. Thank you to Ursula Le Guin for opening me to this typically sterile genre (Nothing will compare to her)
@ZFusfeld The point is that 95%+ of YIMBYs want both market solutions and public housing. Left-NIMBYs are so “vibes-based” and willing to sacrifice ends just to get the means they’d prefer. This shouldn’t be as ideological as it is (let’s fight for M4A and Ed)
