You love these kind of articles, don’t you?
Looks like it is breaking down in only deep blue states and cities.
Should be a lesson in there somewhere.
I’ve noticed that people seem to be more reckless and rude when driving. In my face-to-face encounters, I haven’t noticed too much, but I don’t work around people. Most of my encounters have been shopping or at the park.
Glad it’s not like that where I live in America.
Only the cities, the liberal bastions of hell, are falling apart. The rest of us are doing just fine.
This may be happening in big cities but not where I live. Crime is down and people are very cordial to each other in public.
Maybe in big cities, but small towns are still somewhat civilized.
It’s all going according to dhimmicrat plan...
“This is what America has become.”
Bull cheese. The author is writing about San Francisco, New York and Chicago. I suggest this idiot ought to turn off his computer and go out side. Into the real world. Meet with real people.
The attack unfolded just before 3pm on the northbound J/Z train platform in Chambers Street Station, near to City Hall, where the victim, in his 20s, had been ensnared in an argument with another man, said to be in his 30s.
How cold does your heart have to be to attack someone like that?
Apparently cold enough to consider opening up a femoral artery.
Also, aren't California and New York place that have enacted Dumb-O-Crat bail "reform?"
PING!
People are more polite in my small town. Partly out of fear I think because people are more on edge.
At any rate, none of it has been caused by the pandemic. All of it is due to government over-reaction and general stupidity.
Romans 1:18-32.
Civility here in small town E. Tenn.
I’m doing fine in the semi-rural suburb about 30 miles nw of Detroit. ZERO troubles. I do go into Detroit at least once per week. Everybody has been cool. I have very good situational awareness, and am usually prepared to be uncivilized to the uncivil. I’ve even talked to strangers who I knew had opposite views, but after listening to my rant many held back on expressing theirs. The ones that still didn’t get it agreed to disagree and part, not as enemies but as individuals with different views.
Life’s been good so far with the ‘rona. Only one mild incident in CA on summer vacay.
It’s called “divide and conquer” and the world’s ruling elite have used it for thousands of years. Remove these current “unseen” world rulers and it may stop for another 200+ years.
However, when you have business to transact or need help then I find that people are generally friendly. So my encounters with checkers at grocery stores and retail workers are generally good natured.
Traffic is generally lower so the general flow is better, but there are a few bastards that drive recklessly because they can. But as long as you don't try to compete with them or obstruct them on purpose they are soon gone down the road.
The air is worse because of the fires. I hear about more crime, but haven't been affected directly. I have had my share of tsks and grunts by Karens when I'm not wearing my mask outside with no one within ten feet of me.
America remains civil in places where such behavior still incurs an extreme risk of taking a bullet between the eyes.
But to back up this argument, the article focuses on the horrors of San Francisco, New York City and Chicago and concludes, "that's what America has become." But San Francisco, New York City and Chicago are not America.
There has to be ideological separation.
It is the only path to peace.
Incompatibility + Proximity = Conflict.
