@Geoffberner @tess RWNJ ancappy-techbro here: You're right Geoff, but I absolutely love this entire thing anyway:
* Absolute smack-down of the performative progressive "glorified park rangers" trash I grew up with. I wish I could have written this brilliant excoriation of that canard. A++.
* More housing! We have more people, we need more housing! This probably isn't the best way to stick it to nimby/statist/incompetent/corrupt city planners generally, but I'll take what I can get.
* One man's "real estate hustle that runs Vancouver" is another's "effective builder of housing where it's needed". I'm sure there are real problems there, but still.
* Be careful you aren't being patronizing. Could it possibly be they actually know what they're doing?
* The mockups look pretty nice to me. 😍
@Geoffberner @tess Yes, the kind of "colonization" which means "an adequate supply of housing'. 😂
And sometimes indigenous land management means logging.
"Indigenous land sovereignty but only when we like what they're doing" is not actual land sovereignty.
@MichaelTBacon @ech @tess and sometimes the logging companies buy Indigenous "leaders" so that they'll defy their own people. And that is the more common event by about a million percent.
@ech @tess You're "taking" this. Just in another industry. You're responding aesthetically to the type of colonization you approve of. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-first-nation-in-bc-at-odds-with-anti-logging-protesters/
