I don’t mind people sleeping on benches, I mind not having bench space available when I need it.

I propose we replace hostile architecture with public bunk-benches. Stack them 3-4 high.
- there will be so much room for activities 🥺
We should get these guys together with skateboarders and start reshaping shit.
- 🤙
What kind of anarchist wants the government to ban things
- This is legit my biggest thing with anarchists. Rules without rulers, and such. Okay. So there’s someone violating the rules / laws / social contract / acceptable behavioral norms. What now?
  
  Direct action.
  
  Is this a genuine question?
The one on the lower left, I've seen homeless put whole-ass mattresses on top of those haha
Anyone else wanna take a shit using that bench in the bottom right as the seat?
- Yeah do like a split Jean-Claude Van Damme style
