    Kinda the same in the US. I’m literally a circus performer in NY. You know what capitalists hate more than anything else? Weird circus people with more passion than money who embrace diversity and deviants

    In my corner, a massive corporation is trying to get approval to build a casino on historic Coney Island. The company (Thor Equities) previously bought two disjoint historical blocks and let the buildings rot until they had to be demolished for safety reasons. Their plan has them taking over two more and engulfing our historic theater, a Sideshow museum, bumper cars, and a small music venue. Our theater is also home to the nonprofit that hosts all the cool events there. None of it matters to capitalists.

      I would have said losing profits…but… I take my bowler cap off to you.

      if only our politicians weren’t making people afraid of clowns.
