Her name is Vicky Osterweil. It’s a pity that she is only emerging on the scene now. Had her ideas enjoyed broad circulation even a month ago, she could have made a major and clarifying contribution to the Democratic Party’s platform.(Snip)But the policy particulars that flowed from these sentiments were more adumbrated than stated directly. Vicky Osterweil (formerly Willie) fills in some blanks. Too bad she didn’t have a spot speaking at the convention. She sums up so much of what the Democrats are about today.
Like Joe Biden (and like his mentor Barack Obama), she is passionately committed to “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

As I’ve been pointing out for some time, more than a few of our New Idols of Utmost Diversity, male-to-female trans folks, tend to be nasty sons-of-a-gun. Not surprisingly, therefore, a wildly disproportionate percentage of Antifa appear to be trans.

Gotta love an enthusiastic communist. s/o
We have to squish these people in November like the vermin they are. A total landslide to let them know we will not stand for the murder of the most SUPERIOR country in the world.

If you don’t think that’s scary enough, consider what this young Brit feminist with a green card has brought us and is trying to cram down the throats of Americans:
"We Can't Have a Feminist Future Without Abolishing the Family”
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qjdzwb/sophie-lewis-feminist-abolishing-the-family-full-surrogacy-now
Why do we need to read these things? Because the enemy among us are reading them and paying attention. We had better, too, for our own reasons. The preservation of our families and our society.

Several folks commented on the extremely ugly person who wrote the insane book defending looting.
So, "she" is just a literally deranged "he".
We have had a saying for a long time here, "Liberalism is a serious mental disorder". Some probably considered it a bit of a joke. But, the facts are clear. People who have actual serious mental health problems tend to be leftists. Sane, level headed folks ....not as much.

It’s not just the trans and the Brit feminists who are trying to tear down our families. David Brooks piles on with a long essay:
The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake
The family structure we’ve held up as the cultural ideal for the past half century has been a catastrophe for many. It’s time to figure out better ways to live together.

I looked up the picture and I thought she was a dude. Glad to see I was right. It's almost impossible to find out a trans dude's original name on google. I think I'll try duck duck go.

And I thought Abbie Hoffman's book, titled "Steal This Book", was radical, since it advocated something counter to the interests of the store trying to sell it... lol But Osterweil's book, by implication, actually advocates looting and burning the entire bookstore trying to sell it!

In a twisted kind of way, looting could be regarded as a form of redistribution - once. But

@#$%^&**!!!! As I was saying:
But when the last flat-screen TV is gone and the store has been burned, what producer is going to send a truck full of more booty to those who missed out on the first wave?

So the next time you go to get a new pair of Nike shoes you won't have to pay. Just line up six feet apart. Don't worry. If they don't have your size today they'll restock tomorrow.

When you hate yourself as much as it does, no wonder it hates everything else.
Suppose it lived in most of the various other 200+ countries on earth.
It would just have to suck it up and live with it.
Or be killed.

The fun and games of rioting and looting will stop when "we the people" turn it into a 2-way range. When your getting shot at "solidarity" means a great deal less and individual rioters/looters realize they have a pressing appointments elsewhere......

Thanks for the reference #5. A bit OT, but David Brooks' essay is an excellent, thoughtful analysis (context is everything) and definitely worth a read.
While I don't necessarily buy into his suggestions for solutions, there's no question that the traditional 'nuclear family' many of us grew up in was hugely difficult to maintain when we mothers were expected to help support it economically. I speak from experience. During one particularly difficult period, I suggested I quit working, we downsize to a smaller home, and I could homeschool our sons for a while. My husband at the time simply cried at that suggestion. Well, you get the idea.....

Interestingly the Dem media's (Don Lemon Fredo Cuomo) opposition to looting and rioting appears to be strictly tactical and not moral. They are worried about scaring off suburban women not rotting in hell for breaking the 7th commandment. With Progressive Dems already totally amoral already Miss Vick's job of turning looting into a leftist virtue should be like having the world by the balls on a downward pull.

What are the looters going to do when the producers stop producing? Ayn Rand! Paging Ayn Rand! Paging Adam Smith!
The scary part is how much publicity she/he is getting. Stephen Colbert. NPR. Huffington Post. Amazon #1 recommendation.
One problem with what they are proposing. It won't work. Osterweil isn't right or wrong, she/he is incoherent. What it says makes no sense at all.
“This society we live in under capitalism is entirely structured around the production [and] circulation of commodities. It is a cruel system, built for the creation and revocation of things not for the flourishing of people.”
“Looting involves not only taking wealth directly but also immediately sharing that wealth, which points to the collapse of the system by which diluted things produce value.”
Its senseless rubbish.

Vicky was born William Osterweil. William is a sad case, a lost boy and psychopath who comes from Brooklyn, N.Y. but now lives in Philadelphia. He was born with a knob and has never had a menstrual cramp in his life but he believes he’s a woman and wants to school the Neanderthals - people who think females are people who, among other things, could never father children - on the meaning of life and looting. Now that he thinks he’s a woman he believes himself to be an expert on all things female and has declared that riots and looting are “femme as f***” which was news to those of us who didn’t know that femme meant sexual intercourse. The ghoulish William, along with his other charms, is also the equivalent of a firebug if not the real thing. He loves to help start riots and then watch them devour everything in their path. It would be wise to keep defenseless animals away from William and to diaper him before bedtime to spare the linens.

After seeing the picture, I've come to believe/ agree, "You can put lipstick on a pig!" A bag over the head would be more becoming, though.
