Pool discusses a series of incidents in sunny funny California where groups of people are looting luxury stores, causing significant damage and stealing valuable items. These actions are actually a symptom of larger cultural and societal problems in cities, not just a law and order issue. Democrat Cities have become less cohesive, with people not connecting or communicating with each other as they used to. This decline in cultural cohesion comes from internet detachment and a lack of local community engagement. This trend is likely to worsen and these events are leading to the creation of wild conspiracy theories and mistrust in authoritative institutions. The chaos is an intentional result of societal decay, and the only sure immediate refuge is a rural lifestyle. You should be skeptical about the effectiveness of urban law enforcement, and there are few deniers that cities are becoming less desirable places to live due to various preventable factors.

1) Cross-reference with a hundred of GP's posts where the exact same behavior, right down to bear spray is applauded as patriotic heroism on Jan 6th.
2) Wonder:  why the discrepency?
3) Notice the skin color of the perpetrators and victims in both alike events, compare.
4) Discover Greyparrot's entire poltical philosophy encapsulated in a single, irrational fear.

There are a lot of points to defend against or attack here at once and many seem to contradict themselves.

Rural lifestyle has shit tier law enforcement if we talk of the tech and investigative capacity and enables the most severe isolation possible of any lifestyle towards full-on city life.

I do understand, however, the general point being made here. It is accurate to suggest that since online communities such as this very website give people a 'gathering' feeling, their typical primate urge to be tribal is becoming less attached to real-life tribal/familial ties let alone close-proximity ties.

The only exception would be people naturally attracted (talking as friends not necessarily taboo attraction) to their family members or neighbours as friends. What I mean is that people who naturally gravitate to the personality types and energy levels/vibe of their family members and those in close proximity, are likely immune to the 'cybernetic erosion' of real-life ties.

We can, of course, reverse engineer this. It is now more possible than ever before to find people who share specific hobbies etc with you. The only thing that's truly worse off is spousal connections. You can't truly 'fuck' online, only mutually masturbate and talk about intimate things. That is likely to always be an issue, especially as everything is on the record (though that makes law enforcement far easier so if that's your priority, I don't get the issue).

3) Notice the target. Notice that one is using force to ruin everyone's life. The others are just trying to run a business or shop.
4) Discover that terrorists attack civilians, and freedom fighters attack governments

There are two kinds of crime, regular and black.

This clip is more than 2 years old.

“About 80 people rushed into a Nordstrom store near San Francisco on Saturday and stole merchandise in what authorities called an "organized theft."

The Italians brought organized crime to this country, but it was never a Republican talking point because they are white. Black crime is what guns up fear for Republicans.

Timcast.com! The news source for geniuses.

Everyone should get their from a bearded high school dropout who wears a beanie. If you get your news from a blog on YouTube, you are an idiot.

Yea, fear mongering! And lying.

“Police in Walnut Creek said Sunday that they arrested three people in connection with the incident at the luxury department store, including one person allegedly in possession of a gun” Video of the scene posted to Twitter by NBC Bay Area news reporter Jodi Hernandez showed cars blocking the streetoutside the store as people fled and the police making arrests at gunpoint. Investigators are now reviewing surveillance video to identify additional suspects.

Gee, but the bozo in the beanie told you nothing would be or could be done about it.

Agreed, but one thing rural homeowners and rural business owners (capitalists) do not have to fear is government retribution for protecting the fruits of their labors.

I do understand, however, the general point being made here. It is accurate to suggest that since online communities such as this very website give people a 'gathering' feeling, their typical primate urge to be tribal is becoming less attached to real-life tribal/familial ties let alone close-proximity ties.
Correct, and is the reason why it's far more likely today your physical neighbor is antagonistic toward you than in previous decades.

The only exception would be people naturally attracted (talking as friends not necessarily taboo attraction) to their family members or neighbors as friends. What I mean is that people who naturally gravitate to the personality types and energy levels/vibe of their family members and those in close proximity, are likely immune to the 'cybernetic erosion' of real-life ties.
There's tons of documented instances where business owners yelled "but we are on your side" to no avail. It's the norm as a friendly person to feel safe when you are actually not.

We can, of course, reverse engineer this. It is now more possible than ever before to find people who share specific hobbies etc with you. The only thing that's truly worse off is spousal connections. You can't truly 'fuck' online, only mutually masturbate and talk about intimate things. That is likely to always be an issue, especially as everything is on the record (though that makes law enforcement far easier so if that's your priority, I don't get the issue).
That doesn't change the dynamic of having antagonistic neighbors today that are culturally pushed to prioritize global concerns (and if we are honest here, most of these global concerns are grossly manufactured) over local immediate tangible concerns.

The title of this thread is a lie. Grey Parrot deliberately lies on DART. There is nothing posted that suggests or substantiates the perpetrators were Gavin Newsom supporters.

I don’t think you know the definition of a capitalist.

Try that in a small town. Where all the stupid people live. They don’t even use that fancy perfume for the armpits.

Here is the definition of a capitalist. GP doesn’t know what he is talking about.

cap·i·tal·ist
noun
a wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism.
"the creation of the factory system by nineteenth-century capitalists"

Regarding increased enforcement, I'll do a quick compare and contrast to some posts here.

  • RM's #4 is very ideal. It opens dialog, etc.
  • Oromagi's #3 is not ideal but is reflecting on the topic. There are limits to the extent of personal attacks but being critical in ongoing discussions is endorsed by the CoC. It is far better to seek to prove him wrong, than to try to dismiss without refuting his accusations on this topic. Notice ADOL's #5, in which he proposes another hypothesis for the observations.
  • Roosevelt's #9 and  #14 are highly problematic. Please don't jump to such basic name calling. Contrast that the wit to which #7 opened and closed.
  • Roosevelt's #11 isn't bad. While certainly critical, it is reflecting and interpreting the topic. That he draws an unflattering conclusion, does not make it baseless vitriol and/or lame name calling. Again, better to prove him wrong than to try to dismiss without refuting his accusations on this topic.
  • FLRW's #16... Please don't do that again. Key different between your post and oromagi's is one is implying a likely unconscious bias, whereas the other is leaping to some very precise and unwarranted conclusions.

From the CoC:
Creating threads to call-out specific users qualifies as targeted harassment, as does obsessive attempts to derail unrelated topics with impertinent grudges. However, criticizing statements within an ongoing discussion, is fair game.


As a hypothetical, if I make a dozen posts about how great purple bowties are, criticisms of those favoritisms (even blowing them somewhat out of proportion) are justified across the multiple threads I create about fashion. Jumping to the conclusion that I wiped out the homo erectus, is simply a bullshit leap.

After months of being one of the biggest offenders to the COC, Grey Parrot has been reporting everything and anything in an attempt to get Liberals removed from his echo chamber. He does it multiple times on this thread. It’s pathetic and should not be indulged. Another example was his recent complaint about questioning how he manages to stay alive after repeatedly demonstrating he lives in an alternative reality. He falsely claimed the comment was a threat on his life. He is the classic case of the boy who cried wolf, some might say, a crybaby

Regarding reports about post #20…

While being critical of two users, it is criticism of actions as part of the discussion.

We neither want this to be a cesspit nor a safe space.
