All white cities in Europe and the US led to an explosion of innovation and high civilization.

They are gone—and the rest is kinda obvious.

That is the racist truth.

We are already in trouble. Look at CHicago and Baltimore.

You can cut off city services and kill any modern city.
No electricity, no water...for days...few people
left after they get through killing each other for survival.

The lucky live where they could still flee.

Sorry, I'm not buying the premise.

Don’t overlook the exporting of jobs overseas.

Urban economic deserts of nothing but pure violence built by new ‘inhabitants’ who will increasingly vote in the pandering politicians that will sustain it.

Not places anyone who believes in the rule of law to be.

Stage one: Let the cities go the hell.

Stage two: Use that as an excuse to call the army on civilians.

It’s telling that these supposed “Pentagon experts” use so many film titles to describe what they see.

Perhaps they should stop watching old movies on the clock.

We have too many unproductive underclass, subsidized by tax dollars.

Eliminate welfare, make it unprofitable for underclass women to have kids, and the problem would be greatly reduced.

LOL. Adversaries are not a threat to big cities. Democrats, gang bangers, Cartels, and encouraging homelessness are the biggest threats to our big cities, by far.

Cities were useful in the early industrial stage. Clothing makers needed to have fabric sellers and other suppliers in walking distance.

Highways and trucks changed that. Cities have been deteriorating since the latter half of the 20th Century.

I think the left is intentionally creating the conditions that give them a reason to implement martial law.

“Highways and trucks changed that. Cities have been deteriorating since the latter half of the 20th Century.”

Yes. However, cities represent a huge “sunk cost.” They could have continued to be wonderfully useful, much like continuing to drive an old truck when there are better models available. But along comes politicians who stay in power by taxing companies and wage earners and giving that money to their private political interests. This creates incentive to vote with your feet. I’d say the ridiculous Covid lockdowns were the final and unnecessary nail in the coffin. It’s amazing no one in power thought this through and game-theory played it forward. Thus, here we are...”Escape From New York” has gone from being a cheesy movie to an actual plan. And California is planning on taxing people who leave. You can’t make this stuff up.

Well, the Pentagon is not helping by trying to create GM slimes, goblins, orcs, dragonnewts and lizardmen, giant feral wolves and tentacle monsters.

“I’d say the ridiculous Covid lockdowns were the final and unnecessary nail in the coffin. “

Yep. Young office workers loved the city because of all the restaurants, bars, and night spots. Covid shut all that down and eliminated their reason for wanting to be in the city.
