Major political donors will tend to lean toward candidates that support these social justice policies rather than ones which might endanger their position of power. When that happens, the ideology of an entire political platform, and that of everyone associated with it, is up for grabs. It may not be intentional, but these are the results that we're left with.
- CM30 11y agoThank you for posting this, because it's something I've personally suspected for quite a while. If you want to destroy a counter movement or opposing political side/class, the best thing to do is to turn them against each other. Now notice how just before this whole privilege/safe spaces/other crap started, things like Occupy were pointing out income inequality and perhaps making a few people nervous... I don't think it's a coincidence.
- malandrew 11y agoThat's basically what is happening with rent in SF. The landlords and other owners have basically turned the middle and lower class against newcomers to distract everyone from the real problem, which is a lack of supply.
