Big Bad Politics!

@Zaknel
I love the Jewmerican legal system.

@ponypony221
What is your obsession with Jews?

@Zaknel
Despite comprising less than 3% of the population, jews represent more than 6% of the Congress.
As a side note, around 88% of congress “creatures” identify as Christian, which is of course total horse dung (source for whatever). They all worship judaism/israel/jews/satan.

@Zaknel
Any hole you dig, sooner or later, you find one.

@ponypony221
You actually think that every bad thing that happens in the world is because of the Jews?

@Zaknel
No, that would be silly. I think that everything bad the Jews do is because of the Jews.

You know, I just noticed something.
It’s really odd how it appears that the FBI haven’t posted crime statistics on their website since 2019.
Am I missing something here?

Trump is on trial for…
A)Election interference
B)Paying a whore the wrong way
C)Saying mean words on Twitter

@IvanSatoru
And his adversaries haven’t done far worse?

@YellowTheFool
Statistics are racist.

@YellowTheFool
Because posting the crime statistics for 2020 would have been politically inconvenient. Just as an overdosing nigger and a teenager shooting three attackers was politically convenient enough to make a talking point for months.

Trump on trial and the Christian Conservative MAGA crowd still completely silent.

@Zaknel
So long as people in the metropolitan centres continue to indulge themselves in the trappings of city life, that’s never going to happen.

Big Cities have an inherently vampiric relationship with the rest of their state, hoovering up all the resources and value of their adjoining jurisdictions only to shit it all back out in waste of such magnitude that nature cannot possibly hope to break it down naturally like it used to for millennia.

Every time there’s a big infrastructure project that could have a hundred fold return on investment, it’s always within the cities, never anywhere else. They spend an unfathomable amount of time trying to make those soul-rending concrete jungles as enticing as possible while telling the entire rest of the state that they’re backwards, racist bogans (hillbillies for Americans) and to go fuck themselves.

But by far the worst part of them are the people and the culture fermented in these places. All the wealth sucked dry from the rest of the state is used by political candidates to bribe city-dwellers into thinking that living their lives in concrete sardine tins is great actually, and they’re the best for having “made it” in a place like this.

Even as their ability to move freely is restricted ever so tightly each year, everyone’s a disposable drone, those you should be able to trust for protection view you as an annoyance at best and an enemy at worst, the cost of living becomes ever more unsustainable and the people responsible for all this nonsense could just be voted out and/or fired if they really wanted to, but they don’t because those people give the peasants their easy access to resources they haven’t earned and stroke their ego telling them that they’re so stunning and brave for crying over Starbucks being racist or that we need socialism because they don’t have fun at work.

And all it cost them was the destitution and ruination of the lives and livelihoods of their fellow countrymen, who worked hard to grow the food that they ravenously devour and could make better use of the local resources that they so ruthlessly pillage. Who cares, they where just a bunch of white men in the boonies. I bet they didn’t even have a liberal arts degree. Fuck them.

Until that mindset is dropped, people are never going to wake up and realise that. And they never will, because the reality is that it’s easier for people to just hoover up the most resources that they are afforded to consume for the lowest exertion of effort possible. So as long as politicians can keep up the banal ease of city life and waste people’s time with ideological nonsense issues then all they have to do is let the rest of their state suffer the consequences of an unsustainable lifestyle, content in knowing the sheer amount of numbers in the city can outvote any attempt at reform, and they’re set.

@FeatherTrap
Oh God. Socialism. I just had the hugest debate on that. Did you know that Socialism is perfect? The only reason it failed was because evil America sabotaged it every time.

@ponypony221
Trump was indicted for allegedly falsifying business records related to his 2016 presidential campaign, a misdemeanor. There is no guarantee that there will be a trial.

Also, since this is a New York prosecutor bringing charges on a federal crime there’s jurisdiction issues involved.

@FeatherTrap
I don’t think cities by their nature are the problem. I think it’s the fact cities serve as the centers of power and the “cultural” centers pollutes them. There are plenty of incredibly shit rural areas with all the same problems as cities. In Asia, cities are much less of a problem than they are in the west.

@Zaknel
But Zankels, don’t you know anything? The problem isn’t that a massive centeralised power base is easily infiltrated and highjacked by bad faith actors and power hungry lunatics, that’s conspiracy theory talk!

The problem is that the bad faith actors and power hungry lunatics are already there, they where just spawned in by American hackers! My massive centeralised-state bureaucracy will be amazing because it will be full of people I like! There’s no way anyone will infiltrate it!

@FeatherTrap
An example of when sarcasm backfires.

@Zaknel
Oh yes. So perfect that it’s easily sabotaged and thrown off course if the wind so much as blows in the wrong direction.

The modern day transgender issue makes me so sad.

I’ve passed this several times. This is what NJ taxes go to, overpasses that connect to nothing.

@YellowTheFool
They annoy me to no end.

@UrbanMysticDee
Were the walls always there?

@Officer Hotpants
It was open at one time, at least very briefly. A NYT article from 1993 says it was opened in 1992 and people hated the noise so much there were efforts immediately to get it closed and that there was a 6 year window to get both towns (Summit and Millburn) to agree on what to do. I can’t find when the walls were put up, but it’s been closed at least since 2005.
