While Reddit is a whole lot of fake and gay, I found an interesting example of what happens when shilling is not in full force. For the background, I heard of a real piece of shit politician named John Thompson. I mean real piece of shit, this state representative tried to play the race card when he was stopped for not having a front license plate. Turns out he did not have an Minnesota license either, but a Wisconsin one.
Anyways, I go to the less mainstream subreddits, and I was surprised.
@Humpleupagus Maybe if they were having sex with women instead of men, they could work around this "discrimination." In fact, the only real discrimination that is happening is nature, which shockingly does not allow for two men to be able to have a child through their sodomy.
@HolyHedral Well isn't that something? Looks like the majority has spoken, we are doomed.
Though really, must be something wrong with how the instances are communicating information, because I have no idea how the percentage is over 2 billion. 😂
@WashedOutGundamPilot I too do not think it is a coincidence that car culture started emerging around the time that racial integration was being pushed in the USA. I do not think that other long term consequences were accounted for in this (such as infrastructure maintenance costs with more roads being a liability), but I don't think it was just some evil plan by car companies to sell more cars.
In short, demographics is far more important than these people would have you think. In fact, I am quite willing to bet that most of them are more leftist and therefore would adamantly deny that this could be a factor at all. Because that would go against their ideology of their urban planning vision being the panacea to many issues.
Due to that ignorance, I have a hard time taking them seriously even when they make good arguments about city planning. You have to account for all factors.
In fact, maybe as some of these examples become less and less homogenous, we may see crime issues surface. You know, the very issue we are promised becomes less with a walkable city. Yes, there is a theory about "eyes on the street" that claims walkable cities have less crime due to their walkability. I will not be shocked if this theory also does not account for demographics.
Maybe I am speculating in some ways. But I know that the US has far different demographics than many of the cities that are brought up as positive examples. So even if these advocates got everything they wanted in changing the city design, I would not expect the end results to turn out just like a city in Japan or the Netherlands.
Yes, I am skeptical that making a city more "walkable" will somehow reduce crime by itself. Again, they fail to account for demographics.
It is not so much that cities with racial diversity could never have better design for walkability, but let's not kid ourselves about the cause and effects at play. When you are soft on crime, people are going to respond in other ways. If there is no movement to fix the crime issue, people will seek other ways around the issue. Thus, we get more and more car centric city designs by voters and those who are otherwise unwilling to deal with the crime issue.
For example, this video:

The guy brings up 3 cities, Seattle, Atlanta, and Detroit. One of these things is not like the other. Guess which one? And guess which one was considered more "walkable?" Yes, Seattle. Do you think he was going to be willing to address the elephant in the room on racial demographics? Nope.
Gee, I wonder if there is going to be less desire to build for "walkability" if people are afraid to walk around the neighborhoods.
Been going down the rabbit hole on urban planning channels, out of curiosity given my suspicion that they are being pushed to the forefront as a Trojan horse to the Agenda 21 end goal.
Having cities be less car centric is not something I oppose, but those who are pushing for this model always use cities that just so happen to have a greater amount of racial homogeneity than the typical US cities. They just seem to think that they only factor to account for is the city layout, and nothing else.
@CoolhandJames Any time I see a post on Reddit get 5 figures in upvotes, I am immediately skeptical. Ever since the r/politics page when from being pro-Bernie anti-Hillary to full blown Hillary Clinton shills, it was quite clear that fakery was afoot. Reddit is quite the shithole these days.
@Giganova8 @WashedOutGundamPilot Simple projection. They think that the degrees and career that they have makes them a catch because they see the kind of man doing the same thing as a catch. So they think if they are also out there doing the same thing, a man also doing that will find them attractive.
Except that is not what men are looking for, and often women who try to climb the corporate ladder sacrifice many aspects of their femininity in the process, thus making them worse of in dating.
@Humpleupagus You fool! This is how they will get you to eat the bugs. And not the "wet bugs."
In order to prevent Klaus Schwab's wet dream of having everyone eat the bugs, we must reject ALL types of bugs. You must give up eating shrimp, crab, and lobster, so that you won't find yourself eating crickets later on.
I don't even see what people think is so great about eating crustaceans. No flavor whatsoever. I could live the rest of my life without eating them and be quite happy.
@Giganova8 @WashedOutGundamPilot The kind of women who are paying 5 figures to a matchmaking service were already hopeless from the start. If they were such catches, they would not need to pay this kind of money to find quality men.
And consider the type of men and women using such a service. Do you think these are type who would likely be highly desireable to the opposite sex? Those who are most wanted do not need to jump through these types of hoops.
@IAMAL_PHARIUS Please tell me that he also paid for the pretend property with pretend money. Because this is the most retarded shit ever if he used really money on this.
Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.
