   >>>   greatest hits:   
   >>>   
   >>>        @ceaweaver:   
   >>>   
   >>>        Private property, including (and kind of especially) home ownership,   
   >>>        is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as "wealth building"   
   >>>        public policy.   
   >>>   
   >>>   Now you might notice that living in the United States is better in almost   
   >>>   every respect *because* we recognize private property rights and that   
   >>> there's   
   >>>   never been a country in the history of mankind that doesn't recognize   
   them   
   >>>   that you would actually want to live in.   
   >>>   
   >>>   You might also notice that in this country, white people aren't the only   
   >>> ones   
   >>>   with homes. How does a black family owning their own home further the   
   cause   
   >>> of   
   >>>   white supremacy, you might ask. That would be a good question, one which

   >>>   have been asked of Comrade Weaver if there was still a legitimate and   
   >>>   functioning news media left in this country.   
   >>>   
   >>>         @ceaweaver:   
   >>>   
   >>>         Impoverish the *white* middle class. Home ownership is a racist   
   >>>         failed public policy.   
   >>>   
   >>>   Remember the woman who wrote that was just given a position of power in   
   the   
   >>>   administration of the mayor of the nation's largest city. And this isn't   
   a   
   >>>   one-off. Another of Mamdani's appointees was quoted as saying, "It's   
   >>> important   
   >>>   that white people feel defeated." So this entire administration is   
   blatantly   
   >>>   and virulently racist from its inception.   
   >>>   
   >>>         @ceaweaver:   
   >>>   
   >>>         I think passing strong rent control is an effective way to shrink   
   >>>         the value of real estate.   
   >>>

   Imagine   
   >>>   being a potential homeowner or commercial real estate investor and   
   hearing   
   >>>   something like this coming out of the mayor's office. Why would you   
   invest a   
   >>>   single dollar in property anywhere in New York City? The government is   
   >>> coming   
   >>>   right out and saying that it wants you to lose money on your investment.   
   >>>   Bankrupting you is the quickest way for them to realize their dream of   
   >>> nothing   
   >>>   but slums from one end of Manhattan to the other.   
   >>>   
   >>>         @ceaweaver   
   >>>   
   >>>         The KKK is a violent Christian group. To keep us all safe on this

   >>>   
   >>>   I mean, that one's just batshit crazy in addition to being (again)   
   overtly
