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.
