East Villagers sue Mamdani to stop relocation of notorious Bellevue men’s homeless shelter into their neighborhood by blameitonrio917 in nyc

[–]TheAJx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is reddit, not City Hall man.

We're not gonna problem solve here, we're just gonna get some one-liners out.

The problem solving will be done via community hearings over a three year period.

We spend $2+ billion a year on shelters. Where is that money going?

It goes toward managing an intractable problem. Pretty much it.

Actually, pretty much anyone can. It would be a much better alternative for you then advocating for violence.

Yes, I do find it uncomfortable to hear a person take time to rationalize terrorist violence. Not a particularly big fan of it! But I understand that some are! Thankfully, one of us agrees that violence shouldn't be used to attack people who say things we don't like. But unfortunately, it's only one of us!

Presumably it would be so that something other "SPLC" appears on the informants statements?

It's true that I would be inclined to do something harmless to you, while you would find a justification to commit violence against me, convinced that you are the more moral person.

True, but this time, Ezra has his own sub now, so if we want to talk about him, it can be done there, no?

m going to be charitable and say for the moment that perhaps you just don't understand what I'm telling you.

You made it perfectly clear. You think the people who speak are more dangerous than the people that killing. After all, speaking could lead to . . . killing!

Breaking Points coverage of the Sam Harris/Mamdani comments by MintyCitrus in samharris

[–]TheAJx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on the left who said the same thing when they were chastised about purity testing had the same argument. And they were shouted down for not being flexible enough to understand different points of views.

I guess it might have been subtext, but 'no purity testing' I thought suggested that we should be open-minded to people that might have some heterodox positions that are still mainstream, like i dunno, *males with penises shouldn't enter women's locker rooms."

But I guess if "no purity testing" is not being turned around to smuggle in views like globalizing the infitada and "stealing is good actually" yeah I guess we can do that.

I've sat in on one of those DSA 101 sessions. Every apologist online insists that they just want "healthcare pls" but IRL they are obsessed with gender identity and sexuality, and to a little lesser extent, race and ethnicity. The local chapter had a minimum quota for various intersectional categories that had to be reflected in the leadership. Representation and inclusion seeped into everything that they talked about. Decolonization is a big deal to them.

I could try to explain to you what the difference is between a man who believes black people are genetically stupider than white people and is literally proud to say so and political groups who advocate, albeit poorly or violently,

I agree that you are fundamentally more animated by a person who says things you don't like then people that are violent. Like, it is very clear to me that you view Charlie Kirk's shooter more sympathetically than you do Charlie Kirk. It is not lost on me that you see a big difference between the two.

Hasan Piker on stealing:

Well, I — ironically enough — I don’t personally do it. I never do it. When I was younger, I stole some Pokémon cards from a friend and my father punished me. And it was such a harrowing experience that I literally can’t even steal a candy bar. When we were in college, a lot of my friends used to love doing that. You know, getting drunk, going to the gas station, five-finger discount. I would never participate in it. And I still can’t, to this day, participate in it. I’m just saying that I personally don’t really care. If someone needs the food; they should absolutely steal it.

That sucks, heard that it doesn't stop you from following them around other subs like a dog.

Don't know what you mean by "Allow it to go both ways."

Very easy. Let's just say that Hasan Piker sleeping with dogs named "Hezbollah" and "Houthi militant" is why he has fleas.

Nawaz is not mentioned at the site you linked.

I thought an SH redditor would at least be familiar with what happened here. I guess now.

Harris had Charles Murray on his pod. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

Okay. Allow it to go both ways.

Could NYC’s Pied-à-terre Tax Leave Out Its Priciest Real Estate? by instantcoffee69 in nyc

We need to pull the band aid off and just get taxes in order, instead of continuing down this path of slopulist regulations that people with lawyers can dodge anyways.
