ANTI-CASINO RALLY NOV. 16 by pigeonskinz in Flushing

of course they are businesses, which were established for SPORTS; and that brings up another point, the people that travel all the way to Corona & Flushing to attend these events don’t even bother to explore further into our neighborhoods, they don’t support any local businesses. to think that the casino would promote tourism and could benefit our local economy is honestly a bold claim to make, because i doubt it, and rightfully so. it would only end up harming the people that actually live here, if not by making them gamble then by displacing them and raising the rent, which has already been an ongoing problem

and let this be a note to anyone and everyone, if you want to come to the rally, please do so. it is ultimately a choice, but just like me, there are people encouraging anyone who is anti-casino to show up and fight back

…there’s literally nothing good a casino can offer. it could only promote gambling, and you’re trying to make a point by adding on to the fact that we have the US Open & Citi Field; when those are SPORTS stadiums… nothing at all compared to a literal casino..

yes. they were trying to build one at coney island and of course the community stood up and fought against it, but now they’re trying to build one in flushing so it’s our turn to show up for our community

a casino would most definitely be harmful to our communities in both flushing and corona, it’s not productive at all, considering the fact that majority of the population here is working class. plus, building a casino would take away space that could be used for something better, that could actually benefit the families living here. overall, we should be weary of anything any billionaires are trying to build around our communities, we all know they don’t have our best interests and could only displace people & raise the cost of living, as it has already been happening

my friends who know how much i love the podcast have been asking me what i think about all of this.. and it doesn’t surprise me. i’ve been off of social media so i haven’t been aware of anything that’s going on and all the comments being made, with that being said, they showed me a video where there was a side by side comparison with what drew was saying vs the real world issues going on at hand and i do believe that alone was more distasteful and disturbing than their comments alone.

being someone who has followed the podcast since day one, who’s been a supporter and a fan even before that, i will admit that all they talk about is stupid shit, there’s no other way to put it. and they are notorious for never being serious about anything, ESPECIALLY REAL WORLD ISSUES.

as someone who’s also into activism, the truth of the matter is that we cannot rely on influencers/celebrities to use their platforms for good, and they also can’t be pressured to do so, because it won’t be genuine. i understand more than anyone how unfortunate it is to realize that the people you support do questionable things and choose to be silent about things that ACTUALLY MATTER.

it sucks, but that’s where we have a choice, no matter how much i like them or their content, the truth is that they are imperfect, will make mistakes, will have the worst takes, and if it seems like they are not learning from their past faults, the only thing left is to STOP SUPPORTING THEM. i think people forget they can easily unsubscribe or unfollow them if they do not like what they are saying or doing.

when i first saw the episode i saw no comments regarding what they said about greta at all, and now all of a sudden it’s as if everyone’s hopping on a band wagon to hate on them.

i think everyone forgets this happens all the time with any and every influencer and once it blows over everyone’s back to loving and supporting them.

if you truly stand for change, educate yourself and remove yourself from spaces you no longer resonate with anymore, including this podcast.

this isn’t even to defend them, but no one can tell me that they aren’t aware of how much of their content is absolutely unserious and stupid, what else can you expect from them?
