How do you spin the vicious victimization of the most vulnerable members of society by a bunch of rich, comfortable urbanites? Spin it is a victory for diversity and the political activism of community minded citizens (as long as those citizens have houses anyway).

Reminder that the petite-bourgeoisie is the most reactionary class and are as likely as the haute-bourgeoisie to viciously attack a socialist revolution.
they also have no race.
It's like they have the same mindset as Zig Forums, except they don't mind diversity.
I'm not suprised the higher ups dumped the responsibility of the homeless on some random-easy-to-push around neighbourhood
By Jove on God this is the most disgusting thing I've read this year, congratulations.
Lol I live in that area. In that area, kids were given books written by Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Rand
Rand was the children's favorite book
A sign that anything south of Santa Clara in California needs to be nuke
This actually ruined my day when I read it tbh. I couldn't bring a smile to my face all day. Ridiculous how people given so much opportunity as immigrants were unable to return the favor to those with less than them. I'm sure there were immigrants in there that were for helping the homeless. It's just sad that overwhelmingly the sentiment was xenophobic and selfish.
Lol I love it, immigrants banding together to sit in the most disenfranchised segment of society
Humanity is doomed
Just more proof house ownership is EXTREMELY reactionary and that we ought to work together with the neoliberal austerity fucktards to remove any and all state support for home purchases.
Wrong board, >>>/liberty/ is that way.
Why are you surprised that a bunch of rootless cosmopolitans have no sympathy for homeless people? The homeless people are likely all either black or white, while the homeowners in Irvine are Asians and Middle Easterners. The idiots who pushed the POC narrative are cancer. There is no connection between Blacks and Asians. Whites and Blacks should be the ones working together.
House ownership propagates a petite bourgeoisie mindset among the proles. There's a reason why so many liberal capitalist governments go out of their way to subsidize it.
I'm beginning to feel this sentiment more and more. Although, working class Asians I think we can win over too.
Homeless asians are still homeless, user, and black and white porkies should still be housed in the gulag.
There isn't much of one. They all just buy up property and businesses to generate passive income. Don't think about class solidarity, they're more interested in helping their own.
This is kind of important to remember. It's true, there are working-class asians and many of them would probably not mind at the very least forming unions or w/e, but most of them are spooked as hard or harder than everybody else since Asian cultures have historically been very order-oriented.
Every time you see a liberal idpoler in here talking about “immigrants are the GREATEST comrades”, just remember this shit. Screen cap it for prosperity, and remember that economic immigrants are some of the biggest fucking class cucks alive. These people also know full well they can get liberals to capitulated to their demands if the dress it up as a cultural thing.
they are literally bourg people who fled south vietnam when the communists won,
no one should be surprised
This is the most neoliberal thing I've read in 2018 and will be up there with "Beyonce's sweatshops are feminist: abd "Killing muslims with drones operated with pink headsets is empowering"
most people from this region do not like the Chinese speculators
Tell me about it bro, I'm from San Bernardino and can't move to LA because every listing is like "$1000 to sleep in a futon inside my closet"
Haha these fucking retards can not help but clarify and intensify class! They are absolutely hanging themselves and it's hilarious.
SAME AS IT EVER WAS
are you dumb?
I hate to be THAT guy but the kind of signal boosting this story would get from the mainstream media if this was a group of all white Trumpian undesirables would be insane. Identity politics truly is cancer.
Asia is full of Communists you know. There are active communist insurgencies in the Philippines and India. Laos and Nepal are run by MLs, and Laos has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. There's North Korea and China of course ostensibly anyway, and the JCP is one of the largest non-LDP parties in Japan.
There's nothing about Asians or Asian culture that impedes or otherwise obstructs them from becoming or sympathizing with Communism.
Just fyi, the same happens up in norcal. In San Francisco Chinatown has _always_ ensured that the SFPD bump all the homeless into downtown whose office buildings simply lock out non-tenants with a door guard. In San Jose, the homeless are shoved under 101 or (more often) put on buses to SF. In Sacramento the local Vietnamese community, which is primarily composed of SVA refugees and their children, does the same but with Interstate 80.
Of all ethnic groups, it's whites that are the most tolerant because whites from the start choose to wall off their properties and erect gates. Asians and Mexicans don't do that, so when homeless people hang out they're usually very close to patios or bars where people are consuming food.
Their "race" is diversity. They're like a bizarro Zig Forums in that they're religiously tribal to the concept of multiracial community.
It's one of those things everyone in the media (especially local media) knows but doesn't talk about. For example in the current SF Mayoral race commentators often allude to "Chinatown's voice" which is a very soft, coded way of saying which candidate will suck up to that part of town the most and win the swing vote. And what does Chinatown want? They want the homeless people gone, they want city inspectors to not inspect their slums (this is where massage parlors, child prostitution and chain migration occur) and for developers to not approach landlords with offers (a major deal as newly proposed legislation would strip away most of the zoning restrictions within Chinatown).
This is also reflected in the Mayoral candidates' platforms themselves. All of them call for stopping homelessness by "stopping evictions", even though most homeless in SF arrive never rented in the city ever. The eviction fuckery is 100% done to prevent landlords from evicting tenants within Chinatown (in particular aging patriarchs running sweatshops from whores bought in China) and thereby making it virtually impossible for landlords to redevelop property into higher density complexes. To be clear I'm not defending landed gentry but in this case the landed gentry want to get prices down but sweatshop owners are using the city government to prevent it. This is also where SF's byzantine laws in regards to who can rent what retail spaces where (heritage and cultural association fuckery apply here) occur.
By comparison white people just opt to move out to places like Foster City, Elk Grove or Citrus Heights instead, places that are built from the ground up to contain homeless people into drainage ditches and freeway offramps. It's an equally bourgeoisie situation, but a much less ruthless methodology since suburban homeless usually aren't having their shit stolen by pissed off tenants (who can pretend to not speak English and avoid speaking to the police, who won't come into their block unless called by a tenant's landline anyway. This also relates to how California handles 911 calls).
Also by preventing evictions, tenants can't be evicted for subletting (which is banned under California's slumlording laws), violating building policies (like operating lathes or industrial equipment in residential units), violating zoning policies (running a commercial business like a "massage parlor" from a residential unit), violating worker safety laws (like having a nine year old operate industrial equipment), or selling alcohol after 2am (illegal per the city's alcohol codes).
That's the type of shit going on, and it's coded as "protecting the homeless" when in reality it's the Chinese tenants having their kids steal shit (especially cash or jewelry) from any homeless who wander in as a type of neighborhood watch.
Except american army bases and dictatorship. It's disgusting how you guys buy into the race bullshit when it comes down to asians. SK could have been communist if america didn't slaughter them
I’ve noticed that the Chinese are much more likely to see something inherently wrong in the character of someone who is homeless. White people can be judgemental and harsh, but the Chinese I know almost view them as vermin with no redeeming qualities.
SK isn't all of asia, and even there the American advance was stopped halfway and Americans forced to retreat to the current borders. Given that MacArthur's original plan was to nuke his way through China and then Indochina, the fact that communist regimes survived at all demonstrates the lack of American imperialism. Or at least successful American imperialism.
I've notice that Black people despise women and treat them as objects, white people can be sexist too but blacks treat them like trophies and meatholes
yes mostly because most homeless (shopping cart, big jacket, smell) tend to be either mentally disabled people or black. Traditionalist asians, especially ones right off the boat, consider both to be walking trash that they'll freely steal from. It's ancap tier behavior, which I guess should be expected as the west coast is full of all the asians who explicitly did not want to live in socialist countries.
What the fuck you are talking about? Ok SK isn't all asia but they literally got invaded by the US because they were becoming communist and the US installed puppet pinochet tier dictatorships for 40 years. The country is still full of American bases and soldiers.
There is nothing cultural about the lack of class consciousness in SK
And notice how we can even talk about a "south" Korea right now because America didn't have the balls to do a full-blown world war against communism by invading China.
No house ownership in the US has pretty much been responsible for the ubiquity of the petite bourg mindset throughout American culture that emerged after world war 2. There is a reason why porky (and their government) wants proles to take out huge long term loans to buy houses.
So because america didn't totally destroy asia, koreans didn't have it bad?
The difficulty and expense of renting contributes greatly to this imo it isn't merely a ruling class plot to make American workers embourgeoisified as some make it out to be.
I live with my folks since I can't afford a house or an apartment on what I make but in my area, renting a shitty cramped apartment and a relatively cozy house are close to being the same monthly payment. In fact, I know of houses in foreclosure that have cheaper mortgages on them then any decent apartment you could rent in the local area.
It just isn't a mystery why people choose homeownership when they have the means:
1. shitty box with paper-thin walls in a densely packed building under college dorm-tier conditions often workers have to share apartments much like how college students share dorms pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars a month to a slumlord for the privilege of being allowed to exist
2.cozy house with some measured amount of privacy away from prying neighbors that you can turn into an asset once your done paying on the mortgage
*suburbs
not houses.
I kind of suspected that had something to do with it. I notice the same trend with some Cuban Americans.
Every time I see conservatives act retarded, liberals do something so utterly repulsive that it's almost hard to believe it's real. They've reached a special place whereby there's literally no story that could come out about them that could surprise me anymore. You could tell me they are feeding babies to alligators to fight racism and I wouldn't question it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
well, yeah, that describes a lot of left leaning countries in the 20th century. "they'd be communist, if they weren't getting murdered for being communist"
That's what I said you gay nigger
Frankly, they have to go back. This shit's ridiculous.
