Brilliant, thanks for this. It really ticked me off so I'm happy that it worked out in the end. A small amount of faith in the British public restored.
They want to get their own private mcmansions so they can move out of the piece of shit communes they live in.
But then you can move the poor, especially the poor blacks, right into those communes after 'em. I love how government housing got made, and then the good progressives of the great society proceeded to just completely ignore the consequences of that now that they could freely gentrify black neighborhoods.
I blame this shit on Star Trek. They saw all the bright Federation lights and the Federation communism and all the pretty aliens holding hands and being butt buddies and forgot that Star Trek is set in a POST! SCARCITY! WORLD!

Ex-friend of mine unironically tried to tell me that we were on the cusp of a post-scarcity world because of 3d printers. I asked him if he knew what PLA filament was made of (he didn't know, it's oil-based plastics). Whatever you're printing has to come from feed stock, which comes from the same place the actual items come from, which means its in a limited amount. If you're "3d-printing" food (that's a thing), the food has to exist. So does the plastic for your geegaw, so does the concrete for the bricks (3d printed structures are a thing, too), and so on and etcetera. Like most lefties his response was "Well...we'll get there! In the next 5 years or so."
Hello kiwis, this is my first post so bear with me on this one.
After lurking this thread for the past week, I figured reading into the telegram channel posted earlier in the thread was something worth checking out. After seeping through numerous posts, I stumbled upon a toy these protesters are playing with.
From the post, a Hong Kong dev created a surveillance site that alerts users with information from online police scanner stalkers. Adding alerts to the map requires a key to enter in data, yet I'm not sure how secure that is.
Additionally, the website scrapes live surveillance across the cities to see where the protesters and police are. This feature was worked by another dev.
The website currently has New York, LA, Austin, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and Philadelphia. The Chicago map in particular has a link to a Google Docs document to help protesters with using this.

Something interesting I found. It is being claimed that the people that made this app were members of the DSA's Libertarian Socialist Caucus whatever the fuck that is.

Lose your job is the newest totally organic phrase to come out of all this.

The federation is not a communist society. It's made abundantly clear that private property is still a thing. The federation is essentially a very highly idealized version of America. Free from the need for money and petty differences so it can live put its higher ideals. Every other race in the galaxy is a stand in for some other ideas.
Nationalized police force stationed in your town like an occupying army that will seize your guns, arrest you for hatespeech, and generally enforce whatever dystopian policies the Democrats can come up with. No more local sheriffs and police chiefs to defy unconstitutional orders.
Slowly but surely I think the tide is turning. Most of the NPCs are beginning to realize it is not a good look at all to bitch at someone just trying to clean up the city.

BLACK

PEOPLE

LIVES
- Some cities beginning to attempt to defund or abolish the police
MATTER!
- People bullied by the majority for having a differing opinion. People fired from jobs and have lives ruined for not agreeing with narratives
I don't know, folks. We might be evil racists for wrongthink.
so what's the time frame on when we get Jonestown 2.0 out of all this? do you think most of these people even realize that they have all the makings to mix up a figurative batch of suicide Flavor Aid?
@AnOminous, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a Supreme Court case that decided cops can tell people to fuck off more or less, right? That they aren't legally obligated?
Yes. Castle Rock v. Gonzalez. However, this was not a novel decision that came out of nowhere, and the horrifying De Shaney v. Winnebago County more or less mandated it. If you want to have your heart broken and forever lose any faith in the concept of justice itself, read Blackmun's dissent in that case.
The government does not owe you shit, and can stand and watch you die, laughing at your dead body afterwards, without the slightest fear of liability.
