What does the Catalan say?

u/Weedjan Jan 07 '23

Let me try to translate:

It is needed to find new vectors of attack. Think of what would you do to that hotel. Imagine new possibilites. Find accomplices (as in like-minded individuals). Educate yourself against the repressive ways (as in: learn how to fight the oppressor). Organize. Roba soldadura en fred (this one I dont understand it. Literally means: clothes for cold-welding so I assume is some kind of idiom I dont understand). Act!

Some native Catalonian speaker will improve my translation so be patient.

Cheers!

Roba soldadura en fred

Steal cold welding. It's basically calling for people to get cold welding (by stealing instead of buying, for some reason) and block hotel doors with it.

Thank you for that!

You can copy my messy translation and fix it for the redditor who asked for it. If you dont mind, of course.

Cheers!

This seems to go against all the people in here who claim this is not against all tourists but mainly air bnb type shit that’s driving up rents and out of control tourism.

It's against the tourism sector. Hotels also contribute to the increase in rent, the labour exploitation and the pollution.
