like I live in rural montana where most of the population is reactionary and racist and it is objectively less violently authoritarian here than nyc

Libs Chuds

Thinking NYC and more specifically the subway system are like a lawless war zone out of Judge Dredd with roving gangs and gun battles.

Still feels weird reading Judge Dredd and realizing that the ultimate fascist police cop treats the mentally ill better than our current pigs

Well that’s because they actually get decent training? Or some how have more care and compassion?

i still run into liberals (that have never actually been to the east coast, of course) who talk about New York like they’re filling column space in a 1970’s newspaper

a bill to ban people convicted of a violent crime on the subway from public transit

I remember redditors LITERALLY talking about how “in China if your social credit score goes too low then you’re not allowed to use trains and stuff!! OMG 1984!!!” which is apparently just made up

And then… here we are.

From The Hill’s article on the announcement:

The announcement came after a string of high-profile crimes on trains in the city, according to The Associated Press. However, crime and subway system killings have fallen in general in New York City since a rise amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m not here today to talk to you about numbers and tell you stats and statistics about what’s going up or what’s going down, I’m here to take action,” Hochul said. “Because that’s what the situation requires.”

Reality doesn’t matter, what matters is using security theater to paper over how obvious it is I’ve risen to the level of my incompetency!

In communist china, soldiers with machine guns patrol the subway and randomly detain people and search them without reason

I wish liberals were just honest about it. If you want to vote for Genocide Joe, don’t lie about it. Be proud, about your choice. Don’t mangle game-theory or pretend you are some kind of prescient elder making HARD choices about evil. Just say you are comfortable with genocide and the status quo and that is why you will only vote for Capitalists.

Undesirables need to be put in their place by the ever-funded police.
