There's tons of 'but Pride is so...SEXUAL' or 'can't we just go to another baker???' types who are more focused on saying 'no no see those faggots who are gross and scary are just a minority of us, so you should like us!' That's...not actually fighting bigotry, that's pushing assimilation as the only valid path.

Halloween Jack posted:You're arguing that because the "average" white suburbanite doesn't subscribe to any particular weird mystical race doctrine, they're therefore not that racist. That doesn't really make sense. Fair enough, I agree with that general premise, but I think it's defeatist to just treat every single person in that demographic as completely unreachable. And I definitely understand that level of cynicism, but we need to have some amount of optimism that people can change if we ever want any kind of major political change. We can't just wait for all the boomers to die and then hope our generation doesn't become like them.

But it's a dubious tactic for any kind of sizable activist or electoral movement. I do support, as an example, Medicare4All canvassing, because healthcare is a crisis that's ruining the lives of even affluent petit-bourgeois, and it usually takes something that drastic to shock them out of their lazy brand of conservatism.

For sure. That particular issue seems to be the one thing I can never find anyone arguing against, except maybe some affluent doctors in my extended family. Sometimes it seems like having a crisis is the only way to get someone to seriously consider leftist policies. How much of the young socialist movement is made up of people from bougie suburban liberal families who got out into the real world and realized how loving dire it is?

Henchman of Santa posted:gently caress off. The first step is to get a dedicated core of activists to run for seats on the city council, these are races were it only takes a relatively small number of people to swing an election. Then the next step should then be to get Vacancy Taxes, Rent Control and Short Term Rental bans in place. The landlords need to know that the days of wine and roses are over. Conversely stop subsidizing the suburbs by building septuple and octuple roads out into them. Now I'm not talking about Interstate Highways, I'm talking about local highways that server no other purpose than for everyone to commute to the city for work. All it wouldn't start all at once, as the roads need maintenance start to narrow them and spend the savings on mass transit. Sure traffic will be horrible but that's the point, it's the stick.

Dang. No specificities, but apparently he had to see a gastroenterologist who told him to stop being too retarded to poop.

i'm still lost on how someone manages to poop incorrectly like was he just standing astride the bowl? sitting on the cistern facing the wall? reaching in and removing turds individually by hand?

Letters: The NYC Subway Is Not ‘Beyond Repair’ I have a degree in infrastructure engineering and am an engineer-in-training in the field, but the inaccuracies in question are not nearly so arcane as to require such credentials. The respective capacities of free-flowing vehicular lanes and subway transit are well established. Generously, a freeway lane might carry 2,000 vehicles per hour, which—again, generously—might each carry somewhere between one and two travelers, on average. This gives us a high-end estimate of moving 2,000 to 4,000 people per hour in a single direction. An MTA subway track, such as Mr. Wayner effectively proposes to replace with a single lane of traffic, is capable of carrying in excess of 30,000 people per hour. This is not a small difference and makes one wonder whether the author has considered it. (It goes on, but at least there seem to be sensible people telling the Atlantic that they hire stupid people.) Peter Wayner replies: Mr. Zerr and Mr. Kreuter make the same mistake that many do by assuming that the autonomous vehicles will flow like human-driven cars. Consider as a thought experiment a line of hoverboards a mile long with 10 feet of empty space behind each one. That’s 528 people. If they move 15 miles an hour, the tunnel will carry 7,290 people per hour. Hoverboards are slim and we can slice the tunnel into three, four, or maybe five lanes and carry 23,760, 31,680 or 39,600 people per hour. Thinner lanes are a big advantage because a mishap or planned maintenance in one slim lane wouldn’t block everything. That speaks to Mr. Brumer’s point. Interested readers can repeat the same experiment with two lanes of five-foot-wide autonomous cars spaced 20 feet apart, carrying four passengers and going 30 miles an hour. These can offer airbags and other safety features missing from trains.
