Germany ran a program for decades where they deliberately paired orphans with pedophiles on the theory that someone sexually attracted to them would take better care of them.

So they built a whole working off-grid community and y'all are just knocking it down.
Police say it is one of most elaborate encampments they have ever seen, with a mini-power grid, including solar panels, and multiple home appliances.
The encampment was discovered last week by the City of Edmonton and Edmonton Police Service joint response encampment team. It was almost completely camouflaged and included four multi-level structures surrounded by a fence made of trees and broken branches.
The structures had been built without nails or other forms of support and were at risk of collapse. Inside, police and park rangers found fire-stoves with lit fires, a stone fireplace, stone/marble flooring, a working fridge and washing machine, and live electrical wires strung haphazardly.
Power was supplied by four generators, with solar panels powering a chop shop for stolen bikes.
15 weapons, including three guns, and about $8000 worth of stolen goods were recovered. Police have so far returned 2 backpack blowers and 1 mountain bike to their rightful owners.
20 violation tickets were written, and 10 warrants executed.
The encampment caused significant environmental damage to the trees and root systems, and the nearby creek was dammed in multiple places to provide running water to one of the structures.
The encampment has since been dismantled. Those living in it were offered access to services and supports, which they refused.

Working in a homeless shelter really awakened me to how important it is people to have their own private space. Having a bunch of beds next to one another really has a way of stoking tensions with people who can't get away from one another.
Cities should be allowed to build housing for adults like this.
We do it for hostels, and it can serve as "housing of last resort." Very cheap rent, by the bed. There'd have to be strictly enforced rules if paired with strangers, but it's not impossible.

The thing is, this was part of a post-WW2 reckoning where several people thought that sexual repression caused the Third Reich (a misunderstanding of what Nazism was about) and that the only way to stop it from happening again was to abandon all sexual inhibition.

The IWW organized heavily in the logging industry. Then in the late 20th century it became a major center for eco-anarchism and environmental direct action. Also, it has a long history of white supremacist Neo-Nazi organizing, so there's been a corresponding antifascist movement.

The backlash against remote work comes down to two things:
1. The need to control workers, surveil them, keep them dependent on capital for everything.
2. The existence of a commercial real estate market separate from residential, and the profits to be reaped from that.

Carceral mentality goes beyond cops and prisons. It's a mentality that says that social problems can be dealt with by simply disposing of people we find troublesome and treating them as a burden to be dispensed with rather than as members of the community.

Jericho, Palestine named a street after Aaron Bushnell, the 25-year old active duty member of the U.S. Air Force who self-immolated for a #FreePalestine two weeks ago today.
The mayor of Jericho oversaw the unveiling.
