New York City

[SpaceCoastVol]

I think if Trump sent the military into NYC and they killed a bunch of people, a lot of MAGA legitimately would celebrate; they are already celebrating sending the military into only blue cities. I would never celebrate the military being turned against our citizens and it's crazy that anyone does, but that's just more evidence that the propaganda works. It's okay if THEY have a huge military presence and eventually martial law, because THEY are crazy liberals destroying the country etc.

I blame the propaganda rags like the NY Post more than I think it somehow says something about individual conservatives. But so many people fall for that s***

We shouldn't be sending in the NG to any city. I'll leave it at that

I don't think there is much to think about here. NYC has 20 million people and the small town might have 5 or 10K. A lot of the propaganda I'm describing includes pearl-clutching about how places with more people have more total crimes, which should be obvious

It's not just the crime it's their attitude toward that crime. It's normalized in NYC and some other other large cities. And it's not propaganda but true for the reasons you stated, but that's not the real issue. The real issue is the societies reaction to it, when your local appointed and relected officials are apathetic towards that crime it reflects the greater society.

My reply to luther got mod'ed out. Rightfully so.

So let me try to provide a more appropriate version...imagine a map of the us. The liberal coast, and liberal northeast are labelled "america". The rest is labelled "dumb****istan". That is a sticker available for purchase on amazon.

I saw it, liked it. Don't know why it was removed, must have offended someone.

A city of 10 people is more likely to care about jaywalking than a city of 20M, yes. That is not very meaningful to me. NYC elected officials aren't "apathetic" toward murder or whatever, NY Post turns every crime in NYC into a hysterical referendum on all cities and any pushback gets classified as "apathy about crime." All part of the same propaganda machine

Can a city only have 10 people?

Textbook anatomy of a Luther post.

I am surprised you have time to sit down with all the stuff you pull out of your ass.

You couldn't give it 5 minutes of your time.

What in the world could you think that possibly proves????????
good grief man....I expect that from some posters, but not you.
Maybe I need to lower my expectations.

when the first guy calls you a horse, you punch him in the mouth.
when the second guy does it, you never talk to him again.
when the third guy does it, maybe its time to go buy a saddle.

like I keep warning you, nose blind.

your hatred is not so veiled as you think it is luther. its entirely equivalent, and also predicated off of each other. its always the other side that has a problem, they need to change. maybe, maybe once they change to appease you, you MIGHT change your ways to be a little less hateful. you are as maga as any on this board.

like I said you are nose blind to it. you obviously have biases you actively avoid challenging. I deal with this specific issue with my fiance', she is quiet liberal, quiet suburban and typically anti-rural, and her feed reflects it. when I point out the obvious bs that she buys into, she is always shocked that it isn't correct. even when I point out how my parents small rural town doesn't match the bs, she just shrugs and says that doesn't change anything. she refuses to leave the bubble of small town living as being less than. not just on a preference side, she believes it makes people less, and she has one of the milder opinions about it.

Look at Covid reactions. the ongoing anti-anti-vax views, even when they were Mennonites/amish there was a ton of hatred poured out to the larger whole. while I understand the tik tok "trad" life is bs, there is still huge push back against traditional lifestyles. how much rhetoric is pushed on women who do just want to raise kids at home, its at least as bad as any uncle tom talk. how much effort has been pushed to end small time farming, blaming them for the environment, pushing to get rid of meat, there are very vocal minorities who call eating meat murder and compare it to eating humans. there is a lot of hatred that gets spread out over enough topics where you can pretend its nothing.

the hate is there, you just don't recognize it as hate because you generally agree with it or those who say it.

Social media sucks....users are far dumber than they otherwise would be.

The right uses it far more for propaganda than the left.

not even close.

we have both Twitter and facebook both saying they were given orders by Biden to censor stories and push left leaning messages.

just because you buy it, doesn't mean it isn't propaganda.

There are more sites that those to consider. There is also the dynamic of the looney lefty view gets enhanced in media and pop culture.

Your ongoing battle with the 6x6 plank in your eye, while you lament the splinter in your neighbor's eye is a tremendous challenge.

Perhaps you need to elevate your ideas?

As an impeccable member of the board who is widely influential, I must adhere to the highest standard of behavior possible. Can you imagine how grotesque this forum would be if you neanderthals were left to only your base mentality guiding you??

I am the guiding light which illuminates all who gather here.

But judges, their administrative apparatus, the prosecutors offices and lawmakers in these cities are. Their policies towards police, prosecuting/what to prosecute etc show as much. Violent offenders are arrested, and then released over and over again.

In done places officers don't even respond to some types of calls. And crime overall is less reported now than 30 years ago....... Crime isn't gone down, apathy has set in.

Quite the dodge......but I guess you don't view yourself as having any other valid alternatives.

Maybe I greatly overestimated,

You can call it, or view it, however you choose. It is of no concern to me.

lol....
You don't even accurately respond to the topic of the lower level ideas.

Here it is..................
The right uses and abuses social media for propaganda purposes far more than the left!!!!!!!

That's a simple and straightforward statement.
Your response had absolutely NOTHING to do with that point.......but that's okay, I guess it served as a great distractor from the actual point......which is provable if you are willing to invest 5 minutes of your time.

Head in the sand denial may be easier.

Give specifics. What do they not prosecute that represents apathy toward violent crime? Crime in NYC is WAY down from the Giuliani era for example, the end of your post is simply a lie and an easily verifiable one

He is very good at this
