TLDR, these racist pro-colonialism fuckcars bugmen continue to advocate for the total eradication of my people/our way of life, not to mention and our traditional industry that provides economic opportunities for our tribe (running casinos).
Prepare your horses girl and let me, a lowly Slav, join you in your pursuit of retaking your lands, rights to guns and business opportunities from the hands of racist urbanist colonizers 🗣️
 
The attitude that dirty industry is for unevolved or beneath a society is why I believe the West and 1st world will collapse because you can't just pawn off the dirty and dangerous work and only have white collar jobs
 
Dunno if this vid was already posted in the last 763 pages, but some guy says he doesn't wanna go back to the USA for a number of reasons.
Why I Don't Miss Guns
The man is being irrational.

First, dead is dead. It does matter if some kid used a chefs knife to stab you or they shot you, you're a corpse.

Second, the mans fear of death by mass shooting or random shootings is irrational, more than half of all guns homicides are gang or related to a wider crime so unless you aren't a thug it's not that big of a concern.

Third, I'm not scared of dying in a mass shooting or getting gay bashed. I'm concerned about a nigger stabbing or shooting me.

A lot of Europeans assume that if your opponent doesn't have a gun then why would you need one as they subconsciously believe that such persons no longer have the capacity for deadly force. They are wrong.

As I have said visiting NYC and New Orleans, at least in New Orleans people can defend themselves.

Food Quality and Price
Europe uses food safety as a guise for protectionism of its own markets.

Additionally, the lower price is due to a little thing called purchase power parity. Europeans make less therefore the food costs less.
10:36 Healthcare in the US vs Europe
Everything he describes is available in the States

Nurse line

There are no pre-authorizations needed for healthcare visits and while their may be a copay on SOME plans they copay difference must be compared against higher taxes.

Consumer Protections in the US vs Europe
He does realize he is paying higher prices for those consumers protection laws does he not?

Apple UK lists a 14 inch 10 core laptop with 1 TB SSD for about $2400 while in the US the cost is $1,999.

Again, that's on top of MAKING LESS MONEY.

That's just 20% VAT.

He's still overpaying though, the vaunted EU consumer protection is literally just a one year extended warranty, which you can buy for a lot less than 10-15% of the purchase price (approximate difference in sales tax rates depending on state/country).

Anti-gun retards have insane misconceptions about fights and weapons. They don't realize how quickly a knife can kill and how you can't tactically defend yourself from a knife with a knife. They don't realize that gun-free signs mean nothing unless you put up a perimeter and metal detectors. They talk like they've never been in a fight for their life or even simulated one. They all hold luxury beliefs.

Why do you think the leftist elite are so gung ho on importing jeets by the millions (see "Canada is a failed state" thread for further details).

While I may joke about r/fuckcars bugmen being racist colonialists, their entire philosophy hinges rather heavily on some unnamed "other" (Mexicans? Indians?) remaining behind & making pennies on the dollar while doing hard labor to provide goods/food/resources/etc. for their 15 minute Utopia smartcities.

Statistically, you're more likely to die via a gunshot wound given to you by yourself (whether suicide or accidental discharge 'caused by being a 'tard that can't properly handle a firearm) than by a homicidal stranger shooting you at random.

People who argue about how they're afraid to live in America due to guns, are basically arguing that they're so dumb, they're afraid that they (or an equally dumb loved one) will have an oopsie doopsie & accidently blow their brains out.

What a kind offer; thankfully Oklahoma has not yet fallen - we are arguably the reddest states in the entire union. Hell will freeze over, before Oklahoma ever bans petroleum or the beef industry.

According to him, the criminals having weapons with shorter range, less power to kill, and which have other uses... makes it all good?

BTW, that vid is trending on YT. I see it pop up in "related" videos a lot. At least with more conservative videos on politics anyway.

How does that work?

It's perfect bait for smug Europeans.

It's this weird form of gatekeeping among city dwellers. A populated area has to be a certain level of shitty and dangerous or else it doesn't count as urban and you're just "LARPing".
I'm not sure if that's a genuine urbanist or not, and probably Jason took one look and had a knee-jerk to "US", because at least half the time urbanists will soy out over a new "mixed-use" development because they think that the "city" is "allowed" to develop that way, and the other half they just haven't heard of them because of very narrow reference pools (the same years-old meme photos).

It's just a belief in karma. You can't just have nice things, they need to be balanced by something shitty, or else it doesn't count

There was one YouTube short (skit) I saw (I'm not going to look for it) where it was cope that homeless people are good actually because they keep the area "affordable", but that's really not how things work. The appraisal district doesn't take that into account when pricing things (most of it is just a bunch of number crunching on a bunch of variables). Adding or removing hobos isn't going to change your rent, either.

The "Igotmine Estates no trespassing sign" is presumably a reference to most red state "King of Castle" laws requiring large, clear "Hippity Hoppety, get off my property" signs on property boundaries to deter trespassers (if criminal trespasser ignores sign, you theoretically can shoot to kill if you fear for your life and/or you have reasonable suspicion they're up to something criminal, like poaching without hunting rights or stealing livestock). So, uh, I guess the mapmaker is pro trespassing/stealing/poaching without facing risk of getting headshot in the face? 🤔😵‍💫
I was thinking boomers and their houses in the city, being largely unattainable to anyone else except the ultra-rich. But again, that's more of a Democrat city problem, especially in the Bay Area where those rowhouses are for hippie boomers and rich foreigners, not young families or you and your mates, and it's almost impossible to get houses anywhere near the city center.

They will advocate for abolition of single-family house neighborhoods for upzoning, but don't you dare touch their neighborhood. (Some lefties realize the hypocrisy in this, but most don't).

Second, the mans fear of death by mass shooting or random shootings is irrational, more than half of all guns homicides are gang or related to a wider crime so unless you aren't a thug it's not that big of a concern.
Even then, if you browse A&N, how many of those gang incidents are just random incidents and not people looking for trouble? There was the story about some guy in Florida--can't remember his name but it was something dumb like Foolio Coolio or something where he announced that he'd be going to a specific place on social media to celebrate his birthday, and his rivals were just waiting in the Holiday Inn parking lot to ambush him, or there was another one where some black guy was driving around the side streets of some taco neighborhood of California at some very early hour and the "he was a good boy, dindu nuffin" crowd had no adequate explanation as to why he was in that part of town.

If you're a criminal and have criminal friends and criminal enemies, stuff like "avoid [neighborhood]" and "don't publicly announce where you'll be at a certain time" never come to their mind.

Additionally, the lower price is due to a little thing called purchase power parity. Europeans make less therefore the food costs less.
Every time I hear about people traveling abroad it's always the same. When Americans go to Europe they complain food is expensive and portions are stingy. When Europeans go to America they admit food is cheap and portions are generous. Even according to other data the food prices in Europe are comparable to the USA if not more expensive (the exception is Belarus, which is very cheap but the rest of the "cheap food" countries are third-world countries).

  • Why Americans Don't Walk to School Anymore

I knew that guy looked familiar, he was mentioned about a month ago or so with that video, and as I mentioned in my own post I linked, surprise, surprise, I found that the "dangerous" road he complained about was just 25 mph, something he had to have known but deliberately hid.

No surprise he has to all but outright lie to make a point.
 
How does that work?
The EU bans the sale of US chicken because we use a very light chlorine wash during the chicken processing process but despite these fears the EU allows its bagged salad to be subject to the same chlorine washing process. They know that if we are able to sell our chicken in the EU it would drive their farmers out of business so they invent the fear of CHLORINATED CHICKEN to rally opposition .
 
So. My city considers applying for hosting the Olympic Games again in the future. And of course this causes the urbanists to come out of the woodworks and proclaiming that this should be used as a chance to transform mobility and the city in general, like they did in Paris.
Improving mobility to be more sustainable, fast cycling paths (whatever that is), more tram, no new metro lines, and the unspoken implication that cars are gonna be all but forbidden in the center.
Here's the thing. This city already has good air quality, lots of cycling paths, and pretty good public transport. The metro system is kinda star-shaped with practically all lines converging in the central main station, and the biggest improvement one could do is add a ring-line. But of course that's the one thing they don't want to do. Trams are slow and I rarely see them full. The metro is often full, and it's really practical, it's a good metro that is clean, reliable, surprisingly quiet and safe. There are cycling paths everywhere, I don't even know what "fast cycling paths" are supposed to be. You can take the bike and be anywhere about as fast as public transport.
Really, the entire plan is just reducing car traffic, which in the old city center is already heavily restricted. But this city is not the worst when it comes to driving, so these thinktanks want to change that. Driving is still too good, even though it's not really necessary or advisable to begin with.
I hate these faggot institutes. Just be fucking honest about what you want. Reminds of some white paper an institute wrote (that wasn't actually available unless you actually got into contact with them and gave them your email address) that proclaimed that this city had a very high score of potential to become a 15 minute city when by all metrics you'd already have everything in a 15 minute radius already. So why isn't it considered a 15 minute city? They wouldn't say it out loud, but it's because there are still cars.
 
On the topic of guns, I'd say as long as they require a license that isn't a bureaucratic nightmare to get (mental health check, having to learn how to handle the thing and some basic safety stuff), I'd say they'd be fine. I think banning them like they are in europe is gay.

Also that reminds me, you americans are lucky as shit. When I was a kid, I used to always watch hickok45 and be really sad that I dont got cool lever actions, revolvers and double barrels in my country :(

Still thinking of getting a hunters permit so that I can at least get a rifle or shotgun. Sadly no buffalos over here though, id love to get bison steak that I hunted.

The gun crime v knife crime argument always boils down to the ludicrous idea that getting stabbed is somehow not illegal... just an accident.... and you have no reason to complain if it happens to you. The criminality of being accosted at knife point is almost completely dismissed as either negligible or downright impossible.

Whereas the possibility you might be accosted at gunpoint is a world-ending doubleplusungood thing where you are riskin dropping dead from the mere SIGHT of a gun.

They literally argue being stabbed is preferable to just risking getting shot, even if that never happens.


I'd say as long as they require a license that isn't a bureaucratic nightmare to get

Problem: Due to the hard-coded "all guns are bad and every gun owner a nascent criminal or crackpot" thought processes of leftists?

EVERY licensing requirement becomes a bureaucratic nightmare, by design, in order to make gun ownership impossible.

I'd be for licensing... in an America of 70 years ago when gun ownership was not actively demonized by 50% of all politicians.

But today? Not a chance.

@quaawaa posted an article about the Paris Olympics and why things didn't work out for the rest of the city.

It's not exactly a condemnation of public transit, but it fundamentally misunderstands the idea of event surges. People are going to congregate in one part of town and stay there, they aren't going to use the mass transit system to go outside of that "bubble".

I'm sure Houston's METRORail saw the Red Line do great numbers at Super Bowl LI (2017), but that didn't spread to the rest of the system, and the north part of the line that winds through non-white neighborhoods and ends up at a shopping center with a crappy Walmart and restaurants that have restrooms with codes probably didn't see any increased activity at all.

Well known here, too. We got a big festival once a year where the inner city is complete pandemonium for three weeks or so, but a bit outside the center it isn't that big of a deal anymore.
The public transport here is fine as it is. What we would need is a ring line, but metro extensions are a no-no according to urbanist fagtanks. Instead they love trams, because they take away space from cars. Elevated rails and subways don't, so they usually don't like extending those even though it's heavy rail/metro that moves the most people. Trams serve the same purpose as busses, short distance distribution from bigger hubs. Taking a tram for longer distances is rarely sensible since you can likely get there faster with heavy rail, even if you have to switch lines since metro-frequency is much, much higher.
You'd think bikefags would hate trams since the rails are a menace to thin wheels, but in the end it's not about what's useful or practical, it's about how it can limit cars.

Yeah and like bikes, any limit that trams have to face is an affront to nature. Nevermind they're even worse at what they criticize trucks for ("if you lined up a dozen kids, they'd get killed before you even saw them", etc.), they got big mad because a light rail line in Dallas, going down the middle of South Lancaster Road, also has a school zone speed limit.
