fuck civic pride, are you kidding? you're telling people who have been priced out of their hometowns to shut up and appreciate the surge of shady shops selling tacky trash

    shady shops selling tacky trash

    You're referring to your neighbors and community members trying to make a living? It's not their fault either.

    It's everyone's fault, collectively. We all need to rise up and overthrow the ruling class. To achieve that, we need to actually talk about the problems our current society has without taking it all personally, and reflect on how the structure of our society has created the problems we have. It's not about who specifically we have to blame, that's a distraction.

    You want to smash the state with me? Want to be my comrade? First I need you to look around at your own community and say something nice about it and the people who live in it. If you can't do that, I don't need you.

    I have no problem with the people. I have a massive problem with the society. Criticising one does not mean that I have a personal problem with the people who comprise that society.

    It's all built on exploitation. Tourism is just another kind of exploitation. So, no, I think by telling people they should be thankful for their oppression, you were doing a shitty thing. That doesn't mean you're a shitty person, I just want you to reflect instead of brushing concerns under the rug.

    Being "nice" won't get us to where we need to be. Solidarity and class consciousness will.
