I think a bit of education is in order. Crime is a Eurocentric construct used to diminish and marginalize PoC who refuse to acquiesce to oppressive white colonizers. The use of the term “crime” is a dog whistle, just like, “safe,” “clean,” and “suburban.” This is supposed to be a hate speech-free safe space. WTF?

You really need psychiatric help.

In other words, you don't have any s*** worth stealing, so you feel if you throw around some leftist buzzwords like "colonizer," that gives you carte blanche to steal stuff that doesn't belong to you?

If you don't like the white man's rules, you can always go back to some ancestral shïthole where the laws are more to your liking. Go back to living in mud huts and you can steal to your heart's content without the rules of the colonizers to hold you back. Of course, there's nothing to steal, which is probably the point that's lost on you.

While I agree that certain people use the issue of crime to dogwhistle- as is being clearly done in this thread- the literal word "crime" isn't a construct, Eurocentric or otherwise, to marginalize POC. You're not helping your cause saying ridiculous things that only serve to undermine whatever possible legitimate point you're trying to make. We obviously have a huge racism problem already without just making things up about words.

If you're curious as to the actual origins of the word, which pertain to acts and not specific groups... https://www.etymonline.com/word/crime

Also, this site is not hate-free whatsoever and hasn't been for a long time.

Yeah, you really seem all broken up about it.

Also, the US doesn't have communism nor even barely any socialism besides a few things here and there, so I'm not sure how you're going to blame either for the massive US homeless problem. If anything, we can place the blame on the lack of affordable housing, a nearly non-existent safety net system for people who encounter difficult times, an enormous health care cost issue that is the leading cause of bankruptcy, a system that prioritizes mass ownership of homes through corporate entities, and a supposed "Christian nation" that couldn't find one of Jesus' teachings about caring for the poor if God himself slapped them over the head with them. Simply put, the issue is just a bit more complex than the laughable claim that "communism did it", especially in America.

Which goes to show you don't even know what communism or socialism truly is. But communists like using useful idiots as their pawns (not that I think that's you)...people who don't really know what they are supporting any longer because they have so demoralized they no longer care about, or recognize the truth if you hit them over the head with it.

While I am no scholar on the matter, based on your belief that the US has either as a political/social system, it's a safe bet I know more about them than you. But why don't you enlighten me- How is the US communist, and what things, specifically, indicate that?

You probably have no idea that there is a communist party in America that is pretty influential. No America isn't fully communist yet, but it has been demoralized, subverted, is in the middle of various color revolutions, has been flooded with God knows who across our southern border, is suffering infrastructure attacks, attacks on food processing plants, etc...that's how a things work before the full-blown revolution takes place. You really should read more or something.

I was just watching a video about Hawaii last night. The native that was giving the filmmaker a ride around basically said that that's how Hawaii became part of the United states. Color revolution. The US came in and changed the government with the help of the business interests there. We have a very dirty history they didn't teach us about in school. Makes you wonder if we aren't the evil empire. We certainly are these days.
