these people are demons in human skin
got another question Marxist understanding is usually the function of Fascism is to prevent revolution/ weaken the communist when capitalism is in crisis do you agree with that since your post doesn’t necessarily contradict that understanding as well
From an a***ytical perspective this isn't really wrong or anything, especially in a modern post-WW2 sense. Modern "Fascists" like Curtis Yarvin essentially believe this in a very literal and exact sense; almost their own direct admission.
Historically this isn't really true in terms of the intellectual beginnings and contributions to Fascism however; it's more like the intellectual Fascists simply didn't fully understand markets in a meaningful enough sense (purposefully or otherwise) and historical context brought on this situation past the intellectual roots. Many historical fascists pre-WW2 were not opposed to the left for economic/base reasons, they were opposed to them (objectively) for social/superstructural reasons - i.e. backlash to SocDems in Weimar Germany (read the works of Luigi Barzini Jr, would highly recommend for a better perspective on this - I recommend "The Europeans" & "America is Alone In The World").
So it's not that this understanding is wrong, but it's not necessarily consciously so, it's correct in terms of systematic/economic a***ysis but wrong in terms of sociopolitical/originating a***ysis

I really think this should be looked at as a systematic failure instead of hating on the individuals espousing anti-homeless views. The only reason there's a "homeless epidemic" which has caused such apathy and hatred from normies is literally just a string of institutional failures that have done nothing to increase the quality of life of anyone while simultaneously exacerbating the problem for fear of disrupting the status quo

good article i read recently by adam johnson of citations neede

"A Washington Post article this week largely echoing Starbucks corporate’s claim that it’s shuttering its D.C. Union Station store due to “safety fears” is par for the course for this genre. As I laid out last week, Starbucks is pursuing closures that disproportionately affect stores that are unionized, or are about to unionize, using “crime” as a pretext. At the same time, the company is using the broader narrative of “Blue City Business Shut Down Due to Weak-on-Crime Libs” to contribute to a heightened political climate of anti-Black Lives Matter backlash. The Washington Post piece, to its credit, does air some skepticism about Starbucks’ self-serving claims from Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen, and then casually mentions that crime is actually down at Union Station. But it’s one of 1,000 such articles of late, a popular and impactful genre of Vibes Crime Reporting, conflating actual violence with the American public’s perception—which, as we all know, has historically not been the most sober and even-keeled gauge of reality.
But it is a phenomenon worth interrogating because it has tremendous political consequence.
“Safety” is a curious word because it could mean actual instances of violence, but also includes the perception of potential violence. Homelessness is used interchangeably with crime despite it not being one—beyond a social one inflicted upon homeless people, rather than carried about by them. Countless headlines and news broadcasts daily conflate poverty with crime. It’s so routine one hardly notices:
But I think it’s very important that those on the left, abolitionists, and anyone who desperately wants our society to fundamentally rethink how we address issues of public safety, not be precious about this—not act as if it’s only rich, white latte liberals and conservatives driving the post-Black Lives Matter backlash. Poll after poll after poll shows “crime” is an urgent concern for all races and class demographics, and it has little to do with crime stats as such. This isn’t to say poor communities aren’t experiencing crime—obviously they are, especially gun violence—but this has long been the case. The Vibes may be unscientific, but they are real.
What’s changed, I argue, is three factors: (1) Murder rates are objectively on the rise, even as other crime falls or remains static. They have fallen of late in some cities, but it is broadly true that murders have increased since 2019. This is not a media creation. (2) Our media, however, routinely inflates the the prevalence of murder relative to its actual increase with tabloid and salacious headlines, in addition to outright lying about a rise in non-murder crimes. (3) There has been a sharp rise in Visible Poverty in urban areas. As disruptions by the pandemic created a whole host of externalities, pandemic aid was cut by bipartisan consensus, and rent prices spiral out of control, there are simply more visible poor people. This is what the aforementioned Post article is touching on, and a consistent theme in dozens of articles on the subject of “crime”: the current situation, more than anything, just feels unsafe. "

just saw a new schizo take in the wild: the 1917 revolution didn't really happen and is a retroactive psyop because how did they get so many flags on such short notice
