By white-passing, Rachel means Jewish. She's referring to advocacy around the rape of Israeli women and the illegitimacy of the advocacy based on the racial qualities of Jewish women. Just so everyone's clear on what this post is about.

If your “feminism” only includes advocating for yourself, white or white-passing women — especially when you used the pain of women of colour to build up clout to speak on these issues — you’re of a bit of a dick. Don’t blame others for seeing it! Just try to be less of a dick!

This is the wrong way around. The only reason housing is such a powerful investment is because we've limited supply. We've made building housing virtually illegal so investors are going after a scarce valuable resource. Houses aren't supposed to be diamonds.

The activists defending Leslieville's unsafe, poorly-managed drug consumption site want this to be about stigma and NIMBYism because they know if it's about public safety and drug dealers, they lose. Unfortunately for them, the neighbourhood will not be so easily spun.

Deeply worrying. I hope this outcome doesn't cause our parties -- tbh, it's just the Tories that show a backbone on this issue -- to soften their stand on the Chinese govt. But I worry that cyncial electoral calculation will force them to.

I have found the opposite to be true. Privileged people are fine with distancing and shut downs because they can work their white collar jobs from home, have low income people deliver things to them and have big backyards to enjoy the outdoors in.

Related theory: Most of the people who object to social distancing rules are well off. They are used to consuming goods and services at will and not used to being told they can’t do or have things. Low-income people are accustomed to not getting what they want anyway.
