She called for the elimination of landlords while averring that “an eviction crisis is coming” due to the coronavirus pandemic’s heavy toll on the United States, which, she says, is evidence of “the failures of capitalism.”

Mallett noted that “The pandemic didn’t create this housing crisis, but it did further expose the cruelty of payment-based housing.”

She rambled on: “Instead of seeing housing as a right and something that should not be commodified, the state enlists its own armed forces—sheriffs and police—to remove occupants from residences if they cannot pay rent. The lack of protections for non-landowners should be to no surprise from a country founded on the genocide and colonization of indigenous peoples.”

Mallett ended by stating, “We need a housing movement based on a rejection of the construct that any one person should own this earth’s land.” Teen Vogue took to Twitter to tout the piece with an excerpt reading, “While we’re working to abolish the police, we must also work to dismantle what the police were put here to protect: property.”

Rmarsh seemed to have a sensible response to your article. WDMSO's usual deflection. Spence's nonsense.

Well, yeah, anybody can suggest whatever they want, unless, of course, somebody calls it racist, or sexist, or homophobic, or hate speech and various other taboo things one cannot say in the Progressive world of fairness, and justice, and equity . . . I guess it's still OK to say you're a snowflake . . . not sure . . . things change . . . depends on who gets elected into power.

Your post I responded to didn't say anything about Rmarsh. A previous post by you claimed he said the article in question was an OMG sound bite. I didn't find that claim in Rmarsh's post. If he meant it as that, it doesn't change what he otherwise actually said, which I responded to. And if he actually said it and I missed it, I would dismiss as irrelevant that OMG notion, but still respect the rest of what he said.

I assume that all posts are monologues of some sort. And they all must be focused on in order to post them as intended. You know, like focusing on how the Constitution is written in order to adjudicate by its precepts.
