  • I’m pretty sure that most countries have done this since around WWII. Not to say that surprise bombings don’t happen.

    However, especially when the goal is to displace civilians to move in your own people. Regardless of what the message on the flyer says, best to always it read it as:

    *“Hey! We are going to bomb the fuck out of your home to demolish it for our new luxury condos” *

    Bombing civilian centers are legitimate military targets, to fascists, because the population there all must be supporting the destruction of their own people just as much as the fascist are destroying others. “Factory workers are just as guilty as the soldiers, for building the soldier’s gear” is the reactionary logic.














  • How we frame the issue matters. The Left loses the Right as soon as bike lanes are tied into identity politics. Multimodal equity is simply “freedom of movement” to a Republican. But when Republicans talk about freedom, the progressives hear privilege. Aren’t the Left and the Right essentially saying the same thing?

    Except even if the left had framed bike lanes as “Freedom of Movement” the right would have still forced Identity politics into it. People who ride bikes are seen as nuisance on the road to reactionaries. I don’t know how often I heard jokes from someone I was riding with about how hitting a Bicycle would be “20 points” or something similar.

    If the problem I had with the the right was their insistence that we name things terribly, I would be an (actual) centrist! I would be okay with calling bike lanes “Trump lanes” if it meant we actually got good bicycle infrastructure.
