You reap what you sow. We have a coffee shop in my town whose workers did this. The difference is that they succeeded. It used to be a nice place to go where you could chill and relax, but now they've transformed it into a complete faggot palace that publicly states it'll only hire brown disabled trannies. The same people used to work there before it all went to shit and I didn't care a damn, but the new politics of the place has me walking several blocks further to get my morning coffee now.

    Go figure, I have my own independent thoughts instead of marching in lockstep with an ideology. It's amazing how many times people will tell you to think for yourself, and then get angry when you thought for yourself.

        Which is describing himself fairly then.

        Ironically, they're quite right about the gentrification part. Woke has always been more a hobby for rich college kids and the like than anything to do with helping people who have real problems (i.e. the poor).

        The entire premise of gentrification if wrong. The idea literally attacks the improvement of a community. It is the embodiment of "there is no winning". If you don't improve black neighborhoods you are neglecting and oppressing them, if you do you are gentrifying and oppressing them.

        I can see both sides. On the one hand, in a big picture sense renovating run down buildings and such is great, but on the other hand, I can empathize with people being upset when their rent goes way up to make way for stupid things like queer-owned coffee shops.

        Wealthy people can buy top end properties and build whatever they want. Buying run down cheap places in bad neighborhoods is the only option for poor people to make something of themselves. Gentrification propaganda is essentially an attack on lower class people challenging the elites.

        Feeling bad for people who's rent goes up does not justify participating in that.

        And it really is just propaganda anyway because literally no one has shown that this coffee shop caused anyone's rent to go up; it is just a baseless claim that goes unchallenged. Just because improvements to the neighborhood can cause that does not mean this shop did that, nor does it mean you can make unsubstantiated claims.

        That's an interesting way to look at it. I suppose there's some truth to it, but I do wonder what share of start-ups in these neighborhoods are really poor people trying to get ahead, vs. people who are already well off and just looking for a bargain.

        The entire premise is that some races have the right to live in racially homogenous neighborhoods composed of their own race. This makes them feel more comfortable.

        Other races though, whoo-doggy! If they live in homogeneous neighborhoods composed of their own race it's a hate crime.

        The problem with gentrification is it is the improvement of a neighborhood for the benefit of the (usually white) people who have just moved there. If (usually white) people improved a neighborhood without expecting anything in return for it, then that would be welcomed. Actually, what should really happen is that white people should vacate their beautiful, clean, and spacious suburban homes and given them to BIPOC and trans people. They can go to the urban ghetto homes that BIPOC people leave but still pay them rent (or I dunno, just be homeless). And when the beautiful, clean and spacious suburban homes end up trashed and the ghetto becomes beautiful through the efforts of the people now forced to live there, (usually white) people will be expected to move back to their trashed homes (but keep paying rent to BIPOC folx).

        That's how it should work.

        This actually couldn't be a better example of communism in action.

        LOL "Gentrifiers" In other words "Don't make our neighborhoods better, let us live in filth and shit and continue to be poor!"

        Good, go woke, go broke. I hope more people suffer this fate.

        Don't forget they kept referencing blackness. I wonder if that has any relation to living in filth...

        I lived in Jacksonville, FL for a bit.... roughly 4 months. Right near evergreen cemetery. It was largely a black population. It was the only place either of us felt unsafe. Mind you, I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona... going to school with 14 year olds that were caught bringing mac-10s to school (black kids). Growing up around Hisapanic bangers and shit.

        Out of all the communities we live in (we travel for work), the nastiest houses / yards / roads / filth and dangereous areas have been where its majority black. They never care about their neighborhoods or the safety of them. We literally heard 2 to 4 separate gun shots or gun fights a day.

        There is correlation.

        I hope more woke businesses fail and they continue to eat their own. Hopefully, the rainbow faggotry will disappear from society.

        I know people that actively avoid hiring queers. They say they don't need or want the workplace drama.

        Appeasement is always a bad idea when you're faced with a totalitarian ideology. Doesn't matter if we're talking gender nonsense, Islam or garden variety fascism.

        Stand your ground. Be guided by reason.
