Seattle is broken

What used to be called "America's Most Liveable City" has become a turd-world s%#*hole thanks to spineless liberal governance and culture. They threw the doors open for criminals and rootless anarchists and they are getting what they deserve.

Zero federal aid needs to be given to Seattle, Minneapolis or any city for destroyed property. Their own people did it, now pay for it.

The behavior of people in Seattle and the people we vote for is a clear sign that this country is finished.

And that's coming from someone who knows all about getting what they deserve. How many times have you been banned from LRC?

A total embarrassment and a deadly one.

Who do WE vote for?

YMMV fears people with a brain, and Seattle is full of them.

I remember somebody on Letsrun insisting that CHAZ/CHOP was a peaceful enclave, a sort of new urban utopia.

Here's the reality: "Since the occupation of the streets surrounding our building, tenants have been subjected to violence, threats, vandalism, noise, lewd conduct, public defecation, daily fights and limited access to the building,"

Yeah, it sounds like paradise.

Why was it even allowed in the first place? That mayor really blew it.

Rains too much there anyway.

These are things that happen during societal upheaval. After 50 years of growing Oligarchy and wealth concentration in the hands of the very few, plus never-ending war, plus unfettered capitalism that has turned almost every citizen into a wage slave with woeful benefits and zero security, I'll take a little bit of whacky push-back. If it's also a middle finger to the affluent and established, all the much better.

This country is due a massive structural reckoning and I won't be surprised at all if it comes with more unrest and ugliness. If at the end we have a more just society, universal healthcare and more fair distribution of wealth, it will have been worth it.

Like Cuba? North Korea?

Is this jesseriley?

The white anarcho-communists who set up the CHOP are fully on board with BLM's platform. These lunatics have been for police abolition, anti-whiteness, and reparations for way longer than BLM has been in existence. Their project was simply the manifestation of a stateless, police-less society. They got what they were asking for.

Thats good, the city needs a regular flushing with all the public urinating and pooping.

"a more just society"- Finally, pedophiles beastialists will be accepted alongside their LGBTQ brethren!

"universal healthcare"- Free vaccines, hooray! Thank you Bill Gates!

"more fair distribution of wealth"- Exactly, 99% will all have the same, meaning virtually nothing. The 1%, who coincidentally are promoting this marxist crap, will be exponentially wealthier than they already are!

And you asked for it, congratulations... you're an idiot!

That old man's canard no longer works on people. Young people are open to exploring more socialism in our society and economy. You have the reactionaries and Oligarchs to thank for creating an environment that works for almost nobody and which has led young people to consider appealing alternatives.

OK, just wow. You are unhinged and apparently mentally ill. Our society is going to embrace more elements of socialism in coming years (read universal healthcare, massive claw backs of wealth from the oligarchs, some sort of guaranteed income) or there will be violent upheaval.
