Reddit politics11/13/2023 Fainstein Blackwell, 2004) advances a comprehensive theory of tourism development that integrates social science research on this important topic. Cities and Visitors: Regulating Cities, Markets, and City Space (edited with Lily M. Globalization and the New Politics of Urban Development (edited American Behavioral Scientist, Sage Publications, April 2003) describes the political and policy impacts of the new tourism economies. Sharpe, 2003) shows how the new infrastructure of tourism has transformed the physical environment of cities throughout the world. Through in-depth case studies, The Infrastructure of Play (edited M.E. Fainstein Yale University Press, 1999), a book that described the global competition for tourism by cities. As part of this continuing research program he has co-edited The Tourist City (with Susan S. He brings this research together in his leading textbook in urban politics, City Politics: Private Power and Public Policy (Taylor & Francis, 2014, 9th ed.) He has published pioneering research on urban tourism. Despite the tire fire that the internet can be, subs like this are a amazing place to get constructively yelled at by strangers.For many years Dennis Judd has been a leading contributor to the literature on urban political economy, urban economic development, national urban policy, and urban revitalization. I try to examine my beliefs as thoroughly as possible. Seriously, thank you all for engaging with me on this. If these people were to respond with an open mind and change their views when provided context, I would have little reason to question their ethics. When dealing with especially complicated, nuanced topics, I acknowledge that some folks just don't have the time or capacity to become versed. I haven't changed my mind on this, but I have refined my position. Change my view.Įdit: I'm trying to respond to as many comments as possible, but it blew up more than I thought it would.Įdit 2: Thank you everyone who gave feedback. Not only is it okay to judge someone based on their political beliefs, it is a smart, telling aspect to judge when considering a romantic partner. And I generally see the "don't judge me for my politics" chorus sung by people who have mean spirited, small, selfish, or ignorant beliefs and nothing meaningful on the line. Our politics (especially in heavily divided, two-party systems like America) are reflections of who we are and what we value. You've picked a side and it's fair to judge that. But if you don't want to change anything from how it is now, it means you tacitly support it. "Politics aren't that important to me" / "I'm a centrist." My take: If you're lucky enough to have no skin in the political game, then good for you. I welcome being judged by my beliefs and judge those who don't. For me, a bad election doesn't mean I'm going to lose rights, but for many, that's not the case. I fit that description myself but many of my friends and family don't-let alone people in my community. It’s almost always straight, white, middle-class, able-bodied men. "I don't judge you based on your politics, why do you judge me?" My take: the people who say this almost always have nothing to lose politically. But "not being a cannibal" shouldn't be your whole personality either-that doesn't mean you should swipe right on Hannibal Lecter. "Politics shouldn't be your whole personality." My take: I agree. If you wouldn't date someone who did XYZ to someone, you shouldn't date a person who votes for others to do XYZ to people. "What difference do my feelings on Trump vs Biden make in the context of a relationship?" My take: who you vote for isn't what sports team you like-voting has real world consequences, especially to disadvantaged groups. For example, I enjoy debating insightful religious people about religions that which I don't believe but I don't enjoy being challenged by flat earthers who don't understand basic science. "Smart people enjoy being challenged." My take: intelligent people like to be challenged in good faith in thoughtful ways. A lot of people on Reddit seem to have an idea that refusing to date someone because of their political beliefs is shallow or weak-minded.
