  • I swear this happens every time I deal with chuds online. They will completely misunderstand entire paragraphs and I have to respond with “re-read what I wrote because you’re making up a thing and then getting mad at the thing you made up.”

    The other day I was trying to explain what abolishing the police and prisons would look like, pointing specifically to police departments and the FBI here in the US. Some chud comes in and goes off about how with no laws, everything will fall apart. I have to redirect him to the part where I mention neighborhood watch groups, sequestered communities for people who break the law focused on rehabilitation, etc.

    Chud comes back with “Yeah but there’s no cops or prisons so people can just do whatever?”

    “No. We will have law enforcement, but different from the current institutions that exist who are little more than gangs themselves.”

    “So how are you abolishing police by making police?”

    “…the institution we think of as “the police” will be abolished and something else will take their place, like a community militia, conflict mediators, mental health professionals, etc.”

    “But then who will be the police?”

    “…the thing known as cops will cease to exist and laws will be enforced by other entities. We want this because police are currently corrupt. They all need to be fired and a new institution will be built from the ground-up focused on de-escalation and rehabilitation. We are going in circles.”

    “How would escalators and animal habitats do anything to stop crime?”

    I stopped engaging around this point (and this post itself is rambling), but here this guy was posting his whole ass with his real name and everything. He wasn’t doing a bit or sealioning. He was genuinely this incapable of following a conversation and comprehending information.



  • One of the actual good things about the US is our food. You can find food from all over the world in any town because of immigrants. My own hometown of like 50,000 people has Mexican, Peruvian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and a few I’m forgetting. Within 20 minutes in the surrounding area, we also have Lebanese, Greek, Indian, Ecuadorian, Filipino, German, and Moroccan.

    I have no idea how Whitey subsists on cheese, steak, and potatoes.











  • I’d point to white flight as the primary reason for suburbs (like 90% lol). As Jim Crow ended and the Second Great Migration began, suburbs started to pop up as redlining went into effect or PoC were scammed.

    One of the common rackets orchestrated by real estate agencies, city councils, banks, and development companies was to offer black first-time homeowners cheap deals on housing in cities. They would collect the down payment, let a family move in, then ambush them with bullshit inspections. Of course, they’d find something wrong not disclosed before the purchase, which was then used to deem the home unsafe or get it condemned. The black family would then be evicted and the scam would repeat.

    Real estate agents would then go around to neighboring houses and say “Look what happened when those blacks moved in! They trashed their house! Your property values are at risk if another black family moves in. Sell your home to us and we’ll make sure you get a good deal.” They’d repeat the scam again with another house, so now you have multiple houses where black people are moved in, their money taken, then evicted.

    Eventually, the whole neighborhood would be black and the homes sabotaged and flipped so many times the houses were no longer worth holding onto. Whoever was the most recent owner was left holding the bag. At this point, white families moved out of urban areas into newly developed suburbs. They created de-facto segregation while making money the entire time. City officials got kickbacks to look the other way as financial institutions ravaged neighborhoods.

    This was one of the topics that comes up when discussing reparations. Most of these families may not be able to prove they’re descended from slaves, but they can prove how they were given bogus mortgages and had their entire life savings wiped out. Not to mention, redlining still occurs today, where PoC are denied home loans despite their good credit. And of course, the reactionaries obfuscate what these court cases are about, saying people are just looking for handouts based on being black.
