On the one hand, this is completely delusional cope.

On the other hand, this is extremely funny.

I feel like Not Just Bikes would be a commie if he wasn't such a settler lib. He has all the critiques.

Even though he's a lib, I think these kinds of urbanism youtubers are a useful pipeline towards leftist thinking. If nothing else, they help break up some of the ossified thinking about what is possible, and promote such radical ideas as "communities are good" and "we can take some collective action to improve our daily life"

Our fallen world is not righteous enough for such a blessed outcome.

I think a good point was made on Hasan's stream during election night: what was the point of picking Walz, if you were then going to force him to do right wing messaging that he wouldn't deliver convincingly? For a second there, it almost seemed like the campaign was about to pivot into a more progressive messaging campaign... but then they just ran as if they had Shapiro as VP.

Paul Krugman will bravely continue to do exactly what he's been doing the whole time and being payed handsomely for.

I think what's really striking is how close the "blue wall" states are, we're talking under 400k votes in the states that are winning Trump the EC. Harris could have performed way worse than Biden 2020, and still won a comfortable margin. But instead of performing way worse, she performed catastrophically worse.

If Trump wins, they'll be blamed

If Harris wins, liberals will smugly gloat about how they never needed Arab American votes

As unbelievable as it might sound, in the USA justice system, if a lawyer knows their client is guilty as hell, they are not supposed to just pretend otherwise and make up crazy legal theories in court to try to get them off the hook. Lawyers who make such grossly bad-faith arguments like this in front of a judge are supposed to get disbarred.

 

 

The 2040 plan is mainly an ending of single-family zoning. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more apartments going up around the Twin Cities in the last few years. The Frey regime are neoliberal ghouls, and this is a classic YIMBY approach to tackling housing shortages. The opponents of this plan are somehow even worse, an astroturfed army of KKKarens.

Choice quote: "Residents of color already face significant barriers to home ownership, which would have been exacerbated under the plan as a result of reduced access to and availability of single family properties," said activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, a member of the plaintiffs' legal team, in a statement calling Tuesday's ruling a "major victory."

What are the Hexbear thoughts on this whole situation?
