Any mass movement that has a point of view that runs contrary to the desires of the capital class is a threat to their control. I mean that seems self evident.
If only they had someone worth voting FOR.
Trump running for POTUS 2028....
He asked what would happen in the city if the ordinances were to remain blocked.
“The city’s hands will be tied. It will be forced to surrender its public spaces, as it [already] has been,” Evangelis said.
This is the crux of it. The city does not consider the homeless to be the "public". Can't be homeless and a citizen at the same time apparently.
To make this clear, this is a about the government further destroying the entire concept of "public spaces". Dividing further who counts as "the public".
It's a monarchy. That isn't socialism, it's feudalism.
Given the opposite land Putin lives in, me new expectation: Russia launches AA against NATO F-16s and uses this statement as proof it must have been Ukraine who did it.
I block them. Once I started blocking trolls as a matter of habit I have found my online experience improve dramatically.
Hmmm, interesting choice of topic considering you are posting on substack.

It's about fracking time!!
Too big to fail = to big to leave to corporate capitalism. If it is so important to our nation, then nationalize it.
Not trying to pick a fight, but having regulations is not the same thing as regulating. At least not in the context of this thread.
Umm. I know the point you are trying to make, but making a factual error as part of your argument really undermines the statement. The US senate is currently controlled by Democrats. It's a slim majority, but it is a Dem majority.
The HOUSE is controlled by Republicans. Which means the American Bicameral CONGRESS is split between the Democratic senate and Republican House. It doesn't change your point, and I am not trying to be pedantic, it just makes you sound ill informed and undermines your point.
I don't disagree that violence isn't the correct answer in this situation, but "Violence never solves anything" is just a nice platitude and is demonstrably false. Most of the rights and privileges we have today only came about through violent means. It is more accurate to say violence doesn't solve everything.
Or to put it another way:
The Magna Carta was a peace treaty.
The ideas of a democratic republic were born of the French and American Revolutions
MLK was the peaceful side of a civil rights movement that would not have had the same power without Malcom X and the black panthers.
Overtime, the 5 day work week, unions and most labor protections came at the expense of a LOT of blood in the United States.
Women's Suffrage was not a peaceful movement either.
In the history of most countries, mass violent protest has been the protest most likely to achieve its goals. Saying "Violence never solves anything" is to turn a blind eye to history.
5 whole years to see a return on investment! Regulation has gone too far! /s
That is not what the court ruled. In 2022 the (Wisconsin Supreme) court ruled that the practice of unstaffed ballot drop boxes cannot be used and are inconsistent with Wisconsin law as currently written. Your statement implies some sort of impropriety that effected the 2020 election results. The same court system you are citing, has ruled on 60 occasions that the election was valid.
What a weird way to phrase it. I mean wouldn't a headline like "Peacock raises prices after less than 3 years" be more accurate? I know inflation has been off the charts but, there is no way subscription services raising prices every couple of years is going to be sustainable. (It already isn't)
