Why do you think so many hotels get built?
Why do we need so many fucking hotels?
Why not build houses?
So many hotels are being built because they're recession proof.
If you've got a hotel, you've got guaranteed business from the state in either housing homeless people in emergency accommodation or housing people who need international protection and refugees.
These structures are very complex.
They're not widely understood.
I know this from speaking to people and from witnessing conversations playing out online underneath news articles.
This shit isn't widely understood.
What is understood and seen and felt are the visible impacts of it, you see.
So you look around and you see a society where something like housing is becoming unstable.
People feel exposed and they feel that the causes of this are personal because it's competitive now.
It's individual, not structural.
Politics and voting, whoever the fuck you vote in, doesn't seem to change a thing.
Collective action feels fucking pointless.
Protest feels pointless.
And that combination of bullshit
the high insecurity, low trust in other people, no clear structural explanation because it's too complex.
That creates the conditions where people are very frustrated.
And when you can't see what your big, big, big structural enemy is, you redirect that anger towards visible others, people, refugees, homeless people.
