    120,000 out of a population of just shy of 700,000. Assuming that each eviction only makes two (which is very conservative) people homeless, that’s 240,000 or nearly half of the entire city’s population. While we aren’t yet strong enough to organize a revolution, “law and order” is going to totally break down of the course of a couple days, and whatever pretense there was of things being OK will go with it.

    Some time in the future after humanity has collectively awakened to the nature of slavery and cruelty inflicted on it by capitalism and its attendant institutions of oppression, and abolished both, I hope historians and descendant communists look back on this period and remember and condemn capitalism and the fiction of money as the tools of barbarism that they are, until humanity’s last breath is drawn.

    If I were religiously inclined, my one and only hope (regardless how this plays out) would be for the careerist millionaire neoliberal politicians who ultimately allowed this to happen, the banking system and landlord parasites, the shitstain street pigs who enforce their rules, and all the right-wing bootlicker motherfuckers who take up arms to support these oppressive institutions, to all burn in the hottest fucking fires of hell until the end of time.

    Like if I could just Thanos snap every breathing soul of those fucking groups out of existence I would do it without a moment of hesitation. I am beyond the point of rage and I am so fucking done with this entire system.
