Fair enough, but to assume a trickle down effect of YIMBY is very naive, especially when it is promoted by folks who should know better.

where do people think al-Qaeda came from in the first place?
Sharaa's actual job in al-Qaeda in Iraq was overseeing suicide bomb manufacturing. Amazing career progression.
Has anybody asked the dickheads who spent years squealing idiot abuse at anyone who said the War On Terror was dumb and murderous bullshit what they make of western leaders queuing up to shake hands with Mr Al Qaeda In Syria? I want to hear them blame this one on post-modernism.

An internment camp for the unsheltered far outside the city. This is YIMBY.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.
