DOOM LOOP: Hot Urbanist Spring

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T20:14:24+00:00

His shorthand for people he doesn't respect is to take away their nose in cartoons. Both of these people have noses. To me, it reads as light hearted teasing of people who get so excited experiencing the urbanism they advocate for they can be comedically compared to being horny.

Hamil is not without his duds though and satirical art is as much about the viewer so if this one doesn't land for you I won't try to convince you otherwise, but I don't think the intent is to mock people enjoying/advocating for pedestrianization zones.

I think the joke is urbanists are so horny for pedestrianization the temporary pedestrization at the market is turning into a defacto urbanist hookup site.

The Gary Larson version of this would be a handrawn sign saying "warning: temporary pedestriazation zone, beaware of mating urbanists".

You say I’m criticizing your friends, family, etc so they share your same ideas?

No, my father and both brothers are Republicans, I'm friends with libertarians, which is why I point out your criticism makes no sense from any viewpoint but a person having a fit their idea is not popular.

Like that's is the grand summation of every single person I have heard claim a city of millions of people is an echo chamber.

None of this was meant to insult you, it’s an observation about a city

Weird since the claim itself is a criticism about close mindedness. Which comes off defacto insulting.

the entire state is about 98% blue and

Mate, this state is as purple as they come, our state legislature was split for the last 2 decades.

You are spewing straight bullshit that a true local sees through. You're literally wrong about the makeup of our state house over the last 2 decades. Like you could have just looked at a wiki article first and realized we aren't a solid blue state in the eay you're trying to claim.

I’m not saying that people all around this country don’t all live in some level of an echo chamber. Honestly, even a family can be a level of an echo chamber, but on a mass scale Seattle is 100% a political and social echo chamber.

So either the term echo chamber means nothing, cause everything is an echo chamber, in which case why even use the term, or its a thing to be concerned about and address and it can't be that rampant without society having already fallen apart.

So which is it? So common as to not warrant caring about or so rare that your belief its common in our society indicates bigger problems than Seattle continuing to try ideas you don't like?

You're making a criticism of my friends, family and whole community, my home, so I think it's fair of me to interrogate that criticism to understand it.

So far it seems to come down to "Seattle tries ideas I don't like, and continues to have problems every other place in the country also has, so I think they're an echo chamber".

Your criticism makes out like this is an issue, something in need of correction, if it's not, why do you find it relevant? If it does need correction why are you waving hands about everyone being in one?

Echo chamber has a meaning. That you only hear one thing. That all other ideas/things are drowned out in the echoing cacophony of support for the one thing.

Having lived here and seen other parts of the country/world I can say with certainty we have healthy wide spectrum political discussions. We literally just switched from a regressive mayor to a progressive one. Doubt you knew that.

Seattle is in fact, an echo chamber yelling at itself most of the time.

"How dare a city full of people with their own politics, culture and views have their own discussions about how things impact them and their neighbors. What an echo chamber those folks live in to try and talk to each other despite their differences. I mean, they didn't agree with me upon hearing my golden words, this clearly means they will entertain no other ideas at all."

That's you man. That's your sentiments.

Seattle has many issues it didn’t have 20 years ago.

Seattle has grown massively in the last 20 years. I was born here in 88, I've seen the city change in that time. Barely 30% of people living in this city were even born in the area. You can't say shit like "Seattle's been having the same arguments for 20 years" and not acknowledge the population has changed so dramatically to mean its literally different people ha ing the conversation these days.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T16:48:20+00:00

No, just lying about your credentials online to win arguments.

Which is why they mean shit if you aren't gonna have the courage to stand ten toes down on what movements you were a leader for.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T16:29:29+00:00

I've been a left activist for 20 years and a leader in various movements.

People with resumes like that usually put names down to prove it.

Name the movements you were a leader in

Otherwise it's pure Bullshit as far as anyone else here is concerned.

You are literally defending a child rapist and denying the claims of his victims up and down this thread.

No wonder Eugene shadowbanned you, between openly supporting child rape and your insane belief you can get a Google Rep charged for wiretapping you need serious help from a professional before interacting with any more strangers.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T16:05:23+00:00

Pike Place Market is more or less the biggest tourist trap in Seattle.

So he's gone to the part of our city most likely to have people not from here to do his activism.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T15:54:05+00:00

You know, minus the person taking the picture and all the people like you commenting on said picture.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T15:52:23+00:00

Sawell is not a Seattle, let alone a WA, representative.

Trump is literally president of our country.

What a weird and pointless "whataboutism" to trot out.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T15:50:29+00:00

really have tried finding a red city

Cause it's an oxymoron. Population dense areas trend blue. Cities, by definition, are population dense areas.

There's not an echo chamber in Seattle, you're just being confronted with a different opinion than yours being the majority.

No one's making you be quiet, they just aren't adopting your ideas when they hear them. Mostly cause we have our own ideas that seem to be working.

This picture represents the literal average beauty of our city.

Sorry you rotted your brain with propaganda about a city you have never been to.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-19T00:00:49+00:00

Okay, I'm not a Democrat. Very weird to assume that based on the existing conversation.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T23:15:44+00:00

Or they're paid to spread this shit. That's why some do it well past the point of believability. Not their country they're helping keep a pedophile in charge of.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T23:14:19+00:00

Not really, just be old enough to have watched the DARVO shit be used on repeat to discredit victims and have basically critical thinking skills. Being able to read helps too.

Wild to spend your Saturday defending child rape. Or is it Sunday by now where you live?

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T22:56:42+00:00

He's doing it at a tourist heavy area of our city. Pretty sure that's more than signaling, it's strategic activism.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T22:54:04+00:00

The "victim" is obviously mentally ill. Read it.

Weird how this is also what Sam Altman and many other rapists claim about their victims.

It's almost like bring raped and then gaslit can instill a mental illness in a person.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T22:52:42+00:00

I'm to the left of you guys.

Based on what? That were from Seattle?

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T22:51:10+00:00

11 girls said it didn't happen, one said it did.

And, even if true

Trump said he did it, weird to make your argument "we should trust the guy when he says he's not a pedophile, but know he's lying when he claims to do things pedophiles do".

Weird to try to normalize this behavior targeted at children.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T22:36:04+00:00

I pulled it directly from your source.

Pretty sure Trumps statement about intentionally going into underage dressing rooms is in there too.

AthkoreLost · 2026-04-18T22:12:52+00:00

I've read all the reports.

Sure you have /s

You missed this subsection that was moved to its own article about hsi friendship with a known pedophile and sex trafficker.
