it’s also possible to mistake the people for the whole of the system, which can lead to unhelpful sexist or xenophobic sentiment, but mainly that just results in not grasping the logistics of gentrification and the flows of capital which are the roots whereas hipsters are thorns
for the same kind of reason beating up a proud boy is good and beating up an immigrant is bad. gentrification is the prices by which the GENTRY (the owning class in general the dominating white strata in particular) push out the, often racialized, poor.
it’s not just random people moving somewhere it’s the top of the socioeconomic hierarchy moving in and setting up shop, and often, under racial capitalism, ethically cleansing an area. this doesn’t justify all methods or erase all nuance, but hostility seems warranted.

On June 5, over 350 people asked the Atlanta city councilmembers to stop funding Cop City. Nearly 1000 people filled city hall&spilled out into the surrounding streets.
A small number of companies, individuals,&agencies are trying to push this project through nonconsensually.
Everyone has a stake in the fight for a future free of police violence, one where we take care of the land and each other, where life is valued over profit,
Whatever they vote for, we are ungovernable.
The amount of organizers and community members organizing for the June 24-July 1st Week of Action has quite literally quadrupled in the last few days.
