Get with the pogrom: Reconciliation is not only about the past. Probably the most eloquent argument against gentrification: “Justifying displacement, in the past and the present, is a certain rhetoric: ‘Those who are displaced are inferior anyway. They’re not using the land properly. They’re in the way of progress, and after all, we know best.’ It’s a continuously patronizing discourse which attempts to legitimize displacement.”

Yet this would seem to suggest that the cruel indifference of capitalism itself is not to blame. To suggest that one type of economic activity (restaurants) is worse than another (drug dealing), or vice versa, is moral relativism. They exist on the same spectrum, not as righteous counterpoints to one another.

In light of the recent Rapechant scandal, the BC Young Liberals thought it might be a good idea to hand out bottle openers to UBC students. Nice!
