      also choking people to death is more rude than speaking to someone on the subway by quite a margin

          let's play is that someone speaking now or someone justifying the murder of Emmett Till

          America's least fun but favorite game

          bonus points because the threat was being aggitated and upset while black and poor

      Liberals want to politely genocide the homeless out of view so it won't make them uncomfortable while the chuds want to violently purge the homeless right where they stand.

        Liberals want homeless people gone, and are relatively indifferent about how. Fascists want to genocide the homeless.

        If we woke up tomorrow in a guaranteed basic outcome society and all homeless people were gone because they had homes and support, libs would be fine with it. Many would defend the new status quo the same way they defend social security or medicaid. But if we woke up tomorrow and all homeless people were gone because fascists murdered them overnight, libs would handwring about it for a few months, do nothing of consequence, then do various degrees of apologia for it in the future.

        This is what makes libs so shitty yet simultaneously so much better than fascists.

    The most shocking-but-not-surprising thing I've learned from all of this is how many people in NYC who don't ever plan on becoming vehicle owners still have "pickup truck guy" mentality.

    Have any of the bystanders been charged? Doing nothing in a train car for 15 minutes while a white suppremacist murders an innocent Black man should be grounds for some kind of punishment.

      I just read a NYT op-ed. And the coments made me want to fedpost.

      Opinion | Jordan Neely Was Killed

      A couple top comments...

      It is grossly disingenuous to assert, as the author does, that the passengers were merely experiencing "discomfort and anxiety." Mr. Neely screamed at them, in an enclosed space, that he didn't “mind going to jail and getting life in prison." Surely they were aware of what kind of conduct can lead to a life sentence. This was a clear threat of horrific violence. "Discomfort," indeed.


      I fear that Mr. Neely will very soon become part of the racial narrative of the left. And no, of course, making people uncomfortable does not justify killing.

      But, he was not merely making people "uncomfortable", like a pianist who hits several discordant notes for an audience. He was in a closed, subterranean space, with no law enforcement, gesticulating wildly and telling people he didn't care if he died.

      In point of fact, no rider on that train knew what was going to happen. That is terrifying. Until government tries to understand how out of control our society is becoming (yet another mass shooting in Georgia, this time at a fast food restaurant), and takes action to restore a sense of predictability in the public sphere, more events like this will occur.

          I feel like I'm fucking John Nada from They Live seeing all the consent being manufactured in real time in the last few months that the homeless need to be purged. Between this and the San Fran stabbing that was quickly blamed on a homeless person.

            Trump literally came out and said his plan was to build concentration camps for them: this is now where the mainstream right is. I am sure a lot of liberals would be on board even if they’d never admit it in polite society

                They’d go beyond indifferent, they’d love it. The experience of living in a city as a PMC would be dramatically improved. The cost doesn’t matter, as long as it’s invisible and externalized, shit all of American society is built on that principle.

    Part of their bio...

    Democrat/Liberal/Skeptic/Occasional Cynic/Atheist.

    Another tweet....

    So with the #WGA strike, I'm assuming no #SNL this week.

    Edit - yet another tweet. This person is like a walking, talking, living self-parody of liberalism. This tweet is from April...

    I'm going to bulk buy some healthy protein bars and put them in my backpack so that I can hand them to homeless people when I see them so that they have something nutritious that they know is clean.

      If you're a libertarian, just say you're a libertarian.

      This tweet is from April…

      It really does make you tear your hair out, because this would at least be a practical liberal response to a guy losing his shit on the subway over being hungry.

      "Here, my guy. Have one of my extra protein bars. Your situation sucks, and I feel powerless to alter it, but I can at least take the edge off your acute misery."

      Its fucking liberal as fuck, but at least it shows a modicum of human decency. Instead we get this "I don't care if you're starving, I just want to listen to my podcasts" response from a guy who should clearly fucking know better.

    So next time a cop points a gun at someone, are they justified in choking the cops to death now? Asking for a friend.

      Not even that far, some boater boomer kulak dipshit is going to pull a gun on wendy's workers because his fries were cold and literally no one will intervene because he's white.
