The crazy 'left wing city' of San Francisco just made staying in your RV in the city in one spot for more than 24 hours illegal. Only one supervisor voted against it.
And defunding or reforming the cops? Not with an increase of $27 million in additional funds.
Looking forward to reading this when it’s out:
Bourgeois coldness by Henrike Kohpeiß
'Bourgeois coldness refers to an affective strategy that offers an explanation for how self-preservation works. Bourgeois coldness is one of the most advanced affective and aesthetic forms of preserving the structure of the colonial status quo. It creates an affective shelter in the world, unencroached upon by the immediate consequences of its many catastrophes. It functions like air conditioning – a complex technology which reliably stabilises the climate until those inside consider it natural. Bourgeois spaces – institutional and affective – stay cool and pleasant. But outside it’s burning.'
“If you took the most ardent revolutionary, vested him in absolute power, within a year he would be worse than the Tsar himself.”
- Mikhail Bakunin

“They have betrayed the society that enriched them, and have put us at serious risk of authoritarianism, ethnic cleansing, lawlessness, and stagnation. They have betrayed the values that made that society great, values which they apparently only ever held superficially” #classwar #uspol #oligarchy #uspolitics

Today in Labor History July 14, 1791: Birmingham Riots against religious dissenters, the chemist and liberal political theorist Joseph Priestley, and supporters of the French Revolution. Priestly discovered oxygen and invented carbonated water. Just prior to the riots, he tried to form a society in support of universal suffrage. However, he had also published a pamphlet describing how to extract the most work out of the poor for the smallest investment. He also held religious ideas that conflicted with the orthodoxy of the Anglican Church. Throughout the 18th century, Birmingham was notorious for Church-and-King riots, stoked by the ruling elite. In 1751 and 1759, mobs attacked Quakers and Methodists. In 1780, there were the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots. One contemporary described the Birmingham rabble as the "bunting, beggarly, brass-making, brazen-faced, brazen-hearted, blackguard, bustling, booby Birmingham mob."
