I've noticed this too. people are approaching millenarian levels of cope when they talk about how the suburbs will crumble apart in 15 years because they were built bad (median occupied home is 40 years old), making the urbanist utopia inevitable. "We have only to kick in the door, and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down", but literally.

Reminder, we're not just talking about simple amelioration, they are actually championing that it's feasible for a complete redevelopment of the american city until it has a modest sembalance of Amsterdam. As far as I've sounded, step one in all these people's plan involves establishing a socialist dictatorship. I estimate the chance of founding atleast one socialist dictatorship in an American metropolis within the next 15 years to be 0%, but apparently that's a doomer take? anyway, even socialist dictatorships don't go that far. China in 2018 had $150 billion in active metro projects, and they got spooked by the debt burden and decided to scale back. It's cheaper to build in China, wages are lower, there is existing density, and a massive migration of people from the country to cities that will fill out whatever new construction they build. Then the US hasn't even put their shoes on yet, and there is supposed to be a plausible way to wipe out $52 trillion in the form of single family suburban homes?

seems like it would divert an unrealistic amount of construction material for a post-industrial, declining country entering a climate apocalypse to rebuild homes that people already have.

he's right. the suburbs are already built. what is supposed to happen? so much of the nations wealth is tied up in these multi-hundred thousand dollar, single family homes. you're not destroying that and moving people into higher density areas. My civil engineer friend said "well we'll zone 10,000 square miles for higher density and let the City grow into the suburbs and extend the public transport there" and felt this would be easy enough to redevelop all American homes into 5-over-1s within a few years.

wow, a glitch in the otherwise fair and good system inexplicably caused a horrible tragedy. that's like when your mum fingers your prostate for boxing day! points at the image in the corner and improv shouts for 45 seconds

"Sulletta, I don't love you, you're useless to me now, and now you have to wear the cuck uniform"

honestly, go ahead Bandai. they should've canonized miorine getting aerial swatted after she pulled that shit.

so glad to see people on this website aren't completely insane, I feel comfortable telling you guys that I'm a Jewish American who volunteered for the IDF after my birthright. it's okay guys, the IDF gave me money and benefits for joining, and before joining my parent's income was $1 less than the mean income where this sort of thing is ok.

Qianlong emperor wants to know your location.

here is the run down: it's probably not a psyop by the government, though maybe this landed in their lap and they want to exploit it for more air force funding.what seems initially like a bunch of disparate threads of crazy quickly collapses into a relatively small circle of UFO fanatics who have been working to publicize their hoax for decades. Grusch specifically can only said to be "credible" because he was involved with the UAP task force, which was shut down after they realized it was a complete joke run by luntics.

True. People are used to existing alongside awful atrocities and devastation and being mostly insulated from it if not beneficiaries of it as middle class in the global north. they expect this dynamic to always exist, especially since their propaganda tells them that this hierarchy is natural. the south will no doubt be hit worse, but there very little protecting the affluent as well.
