New York City, San Fran, Seatle are failed states

Time soon to leave the west. I'm getting as much pay for play until I can leave this rotting western society and ugly man hating feminazis behind for good!
I had been seriously thinking of chuckin' it and heading south, the 'deep' south. And I don't mean Alabama.

After all a guy has only so many days allotted to him. Might as well be in a sunny clime and where the vimen take care of their appearance and don't mind cooking for someone who would appreciate their efforts. Feminazis are so brutal these days I think that most of them don't even know how to receive a complement if one ever came their way.

I visited Montreal, Canada a few years ago and went to a museum dedicated to the history of the city.

In the museum, the exhibits talked about the constant tensions between the Catholic Church and the city of Montreal, and how Church officials had a long-time policy of pushing the people to move out of the city into the country, because the city was seen as a corrupting force, while country life was more holy.

Given what we see today in the red/blue divide of our country and the communist corruption in our cities, it seems old school Catholic/Orthodox philosophy was right again.

What's the context here? Not that the actions of those hoodlums are warranted anyway, but why is that vehicle being attacked in the first place?


Witnesses reported that dozens of bicycling teens attacked the car on Fifth Avenue about 4 p.m. Tuesday after the driver caused one of them to crash.

“The BMW driver was reportedly taking his elderly mother to see Christmas lights in Manhattan,” wrote Twitter user @GrantB911, including a video of the attack. “The group on bikes were clinging to the car to catch a ride. The driver hit the brakes, causing 1 bicyclist to crash. That’s what apparently sparked the attack.


A pack of young bicyclists attacked a BMW in broad daylight in Manhattan, terrorizing the man and woman inside in a terrifying ambush caught on video.
...
“This was an animalistic attack in broad daylight,“ said one Manhattan cop, noting that the vehicle’s occupants, a man and woman in their 50s, were scared for their lives. “It shows how far the city has deteriorated and the politicians better get their heads out of the sand and start to deal with these problems before there is nothing left.”

The same group similarly attacked a cab a short time later, the source said.

Both incidents are being probed.

Watch out for those packs of 'young bicyclists'.

In a just world,
Key words :)

We all know what would have happened, particularly in a city like NYC if the guy dared try to defend himself.


These cities are only just beginning to fail...after covid they will all be desperate for revenue -they'll never trim fat, but they will trim essential services because in the past this works as a great 'we have to raise taxes ' threat.

I was recently explaining to someone why I was tired of living in cities like Chicago and Seattle, and one of the reasons was you can't defend yourself if you're ever in a bad situation. The judicial system and public will act like you were in the wrong.

Any sane person would look at that video and not feel sorry for those idiots if they got run over. The people that enable thug behavior are just as bad as the thugs.

Very true, especially nowadays. Back during the PUA days every fool knew where to find the most loose women - in the cities, at the clubs and bars, living the sex and the city lifestyle. They weren't out in the country trying to raise a family with a working man.

There isn't. People vote with their feet. That said, shitty weather and high taxes can do a lot to make even the most die hard liberal reconsider. Otherwise all those Hollywood types threatening to move to Canada would have followed through.

Not “filter”. There isn’t. However there is a lot you can do to make your area unappealing to these people. Things like say...banning certain substances they enjoy and enacting broken window policing.

Unfortunately Chicago - the murder capital of the US - was left out of the title.

Don't click the link, just sourced.

Cook County recorded more gun-related homicides in 2020 than any other year, surpassing the previous record set in 1994, according to the medical examiner’s office.

The county saw 875 such homicides this year, exceeding the 838 recorded in 1994, according to a news release.

The medical examiner’s office handled 970 homicides in total, the most since 1996, the release said. That figure marks a 40% increase over last year’s homicide total of 675.

Most of the homicides happened in the city of Chicago, and Black people were disproportionately impacted (though no sources on those pulling the trigger???), accounting for 78% of the victims.

In Cook County, 22 children younger than 10 years old died in a homicide.

Experts and city leaders told the Tribune that a number of factors would have impacted the rise in violence, but noted that the pandemic and civil unrest likely contributed.

The county medical examiner’s office handled a record number of cases overall, mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release said. The COVID-19 deaths accounted for more than half of the office’s 2020 caseload. What does this have to with homicides? Unless homicides are now also Covid deaths?

===================================


So to recap,
  • Murders highest ever for the city
  • Murders up 40% from last year
  • Blacks disproportionately impacted
  • Can't find 2020 stats but for 2019, well we just don't know... It's not easy to determine the shooter's race, like it is the victim in our Victimhood society.

  • Covid deaths are related to homicides. Can only conclude that they are counting gunshots as covid deaths now.
 
We need to push/advocate for city-states, much like the way Hong Kong was for many years. They can operate independently and have no influence on the rest of the state, let alone the country. This is the only way this ends peacefully, or somewhat peacefully.
This is an interesting idea in principle but how would one implement a city-state in a modern context? In ancient times Greek city-states like Sparta and Athens either had a standing army or well trained citizens ready to go to war quickly. Hong Kong was never independent, they were a British colony for years and years. For a modern city-state to work today IMO it needs to have access to water, vast lands for agriculture to feed its people, and the ability to defend itself without the need for outside help. Perhaps Singapore is a better example of a modern city-state.
