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.

i just assume they are talking about these places as loci of financial crime, organized crime, widespread scams, and police corruption and i will be purposely obtuse about it to make them exasperated and just say the racist thing they so desperately want to say.
the city i grew up in is much larger than the one i live in, and i hate going back because the amount of unhinged psycho police, religious grifting, and brazen political corruption is unsettling. the people who live there seem to have made some appearance of peace with it by using tunnel vision, but i'm too much of a stubborn asshole to look away.
there are parts of town in my former city that i avoid, not because i am afraid of poor people, but i am sure as shit afraid of catching a stray from the cops that overpolice these places and don't appreciate looky-loos. i have never felt so unsafe in a poor neighborhood as when a cop is mean mugging me with his hand on his gun.
