On stormfront you’ll read in massive subs such as r/soccer that Paris has a pocket of safety surrounded by pure crime. They’ll say shit like, “I went to Vienna and Budapest and not once did I feel unsafe”

You ‘felt’ unsafe? Are you just shitting your pants everytime you encounter an Arab or someone with slightly more melanin content? Like, almost every city I’ve ever been to where people say it’s unsafe is just a place with more minorities and I’ve never once felt unsafe.

    Yes, but I also think sometimes the 'crime' they're talking about isn't racialized but instead a gut reaction to being forced to see the outcomes of the economic precarity we all exist within. Which is to say they're also complaining about having to look at homeless people

      this for sure, seeing a homeless person isnt 'crime' but to them it is. I dont even think they realize theyre doing it most of the time, its just that the news and the national conversation has conflated the two since 1980, so what do most of them know? See a homeless person, thats crime, be very scared now.
