“Osterweil argues that stealing goods and destroying property are direct, pragmatic strategies of wealth redistribution”
It’s amazing how the left has decided that the crime of theft is justified in some cases.

CUNY LGBTQ center to host podcast episode on ‘Trans Politics of Looting’
The CUNY Graduate Center’s Center for LGBTQ Studies is hosting a podcast discussion on the “Trans Politics of Looting” in celebration of “Trans Day of Visibility.”
“Trans Day of Visibility” is an annual observance celebrated by LGBTQ activists on March 31 to recognize transgender-identifying people in public.
That evening, the Center will host the podcast, Love in a F*cked Up World. The podcast features Dean Spade, who has “been working in movements for queer and trans liberation and to end police, prisons, immigration enforcement, and war.”
According to the Spotify description, the podcast offers “concrete tools for building and sustaining strong relationships, because our connections to each other are the building blocks of our resistance.”
The guest for the Tuesday episode will be Vicky Osterweil in a discussion titled “Toward a Trans Politics of Looting.” Osterweil is also the author of In Defense of Looting: A Riotous History of Uncivil Action, a book that provides a “fresh argument for rioting and looting as our most powerful tools for dismantling white supremacy.”
“Looting — a crowd of people publicly, openly, and directly seizing goods — is one of the more extreme actions that can take place in the midst of social unrest,” the book’s description says. “Even self-identified radicals distance themselves from looters, fearing that violent tactics reflect badly on the broader movement.”
“Osterweil argues that stealing goods and destroying property are direct, pragmatic strategies of wealth redistribution and improving life for the working class,” the description continues. “All our beliefs about the innate righteousness of property and ownership, Osterweil explains, are built on the history of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous oppression.”

“Trans Day of Visibility” is an annual observance celebrated by LGBTQ activists on March 31 to recognize transgender-identifying people in public.”
Almost sounds like a man-on-the-street gameshow.
What does a contestant win for outing the most trans people?
So unless they’re typical leftist hypocrites, CUNY LGBTQ Center will have no problem with its assets being seized and donated to TPUSA.
Unless? Of course they are; it’s baked into their identity.
As a counter, I offer “BuzzGun Restorative Justice.”
sounds like they are not going to complain when/if someone steals from them
