On stormfront you’ll read in massive subs such as r/soccer that Paris has a pocket of safety surrounded by pure crime. They’ll say shit like, “I went to Vienna and Budapest and not once did I feel unsafe”

You ‘felt’ unsafe? Are you just shitting your pants everytime you encounter an Arab or someone with slightly more melanin content? Like, almost every city I’ve ever been to where people say it’s unsafe is just a place with more minorities and I’ve never once felt unsafe.

    Yes, and even just referring to Chicago pejoratively has become a racist dogwhistle.

      I’ve never been to Chicago but I’ve lived in Michigan and have heard the way people talk about Detroit. After visiting detroit I realize libs straight up just don’t like seeing decay and poor people. They think it’s an aberration and that their comfortable lifestyles are the norm while thses people must be doing something obviously wrong.

      I walked around Detroit late at night after a show. Picture an urban sprawl with French gothic architecture, run down suburban homes, and black homeless people everywhere. Not onve did I feel threatened. I imagine since Chicago has more wealthy people still living there the sentiment that it’s crime infested is exacerbated ten fold
