MizPiz posted:Having grown up in a vacation town, tourism is absolutely an enemy to leftism. For starters, when people come down to "throw money at everyone" they're mostly throwing money at two to three companies that own most of the businesses, or at least the commercial real estate. This inevitably leads to these companies having abject control over the community, which then leads to them sweeping economic, environmental, and cultural changes that are made solely to enrich those companies. So then what you're left with is a "libertarian" government and bland businesses that cater almost exclusively to entitled, upper middle class assholes who end up doing far more damage than whatever wealth they generate. hey i could spend a hell of a lot more money than that a hell of a lot faster if you give it to me

MizPiz posted:Because tourism is an inherently capitalist concept that requires a vast wealth gap to function. It's about catering to a clientele that are at least able to spend a lot of money in a short period with staff that are compelled to work long hours, especially during holidays. It also takes the power to destroy communities that capitalism has and drastically accelerates it. tbf communities dont exist

rudatron posted:The reason the tourists are being attacked is not because of their 'strength', in their ability to reshape communities or whatever, but precisely because of their vulnerability - attacking the actual cause of the problem, the people with the wealth, carries too much risk. But that feeling of powerlessness and frustration, caused by the wealthy, has to go somewhere, so eventually some idiots decide to redirect it to outsiders, because that's easier than confronting the actual centers of power. have you ever met a tourist
