In some of their copy I think they talked about protecting/cherishing/partnering with indigenous cultures which is maybe a bit different from "inclusiveness" but in the same general spirit.

I would think this sort of angle wasn't exactly uncommon even at the height of colonialism.

That's some incredible restraint shown by the Moroccans, I am in awe.
It's a real shame the police wasn't called so she could spend some quality time in jail.
If she had assaulted people like this in her homeland, that's precisely where she would have ended up.

There hasn't been literally this but for the last decade or so it has become a big undercurrent in urban / public design to make spaces and furnitures (including benches) "homeless-proof". You will quickly find examples by googling "hostile design" or "hostile architecture".

The video is also 11 years old (as an aside).

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #1470 on:** September 09, 2019, 12:52:38 PM »

Yeah, there's some designs out there to mess with homeless people, though as far as I know nothing has tried to monetize it yet.

As a huge proponent of alternative (and affordable) housing models, it was such a treat to tour the Los Feliz location of @Podshare. It's great to see such innovative solutions to housing in the midst of rising rents and high costs in Los Angeles.

It's the Urwerk 1001, if anyone's curious. It keeps time up to tracking centuries and millenias. I guess it's an unique proposition and it has some high novelty factor... Though I'm not a fan of the form factor or the design.
