    idk what the deleted comment said but yeah praying on “this being the year florida sinks” is not it, come on.

    do we actually think the rich landowners are going to feel any regret when they lose their property? hell naw dude they are gonna move and probably get sick insurance payouts as well. and the places they move to? they’re gonna slide in with higher purchasing power and outbid local low income families from their own homes.

    when in the history of capital has natural calamity hurt the wealthy more than the working class poor? with peace and love, get absolutely so fkn real lmao. human beings have a right to homes, and not to be uprooted from those homes because of the whims of an oppressive and immoral upper class.

    this “florida bad” dialogue is sickening to me. places like florida don’t come about without consistent and potent oppression. playing into this meme that entire populations are better off participating in forced migration is scarily victim blame-y and disconnected as hell from peoples’ lived reality.
