This might come as a shock to you, but I do not care about your opinions, your ignorance or failure to comprehend the research, or what you believe. The only thing I care about, and I can not stress this enough, is what the empirical research says. And it says you are wrong.

This post actually contains speech as offensive as the new word that’s been banned. Neckbeard is pejorative, and political smearing of entire groups is often allowed in here...also offensive. Heaven forbid we say...’the c word’
threadly reminder every regional subreddit is dogshit and almost always overrun by chapos/socialists/anarchists to the point where the rhetoric on /r/texas or /r/houston is similar to the rhetoric on /r/sanfrancisco
They're currently wanking over private school boy, the saviour of the working class Billy Short planning to bestow them with a payrise that's less than a case of beer!
Aussie Lefties are a joke, selling out to a metoo politician for a pack of darts a week
He should win too. How they convicted him on the evidence they had was retarded. The legal profession in Melbourne are all scratching their heads while the greens voters claim credit
You had a mod who used to constantly spam the news subs every time South Africa popped up. He would accuse South Africans living in Australia for being racist white supremacists whenever they said something bad about SA. I'm not sure if he's there anymore and looking at the sub now, it seems ok.
r/australia is a fucking cesspit. Ive had 10+ accounts banned from that sub now and for the most inane shit. If you reply negatively in any capacity to linenoise expect a visit from dredd
I've had an argument with someone there about population growth being too high and how it's damaging our environment. His solution was to unironically build an inland sea in the middle of Australia to support more people... Apparently that's an easier and less damaging solution than to simply reduce migrant numbers.
Ironically r/seattlewa of all places is in a constant state of fighting between liberals and conservatives. Of course there are way more liberals, it is Seattle after all, but the fact that there's a fight at all is surprising. Some of the conservatives even made r/the_seattle as a HQ lol.
To be fair, Nike and Intel are based there and make a hell of a lot of money. But they're not actually based in Portland, they're out in Beaverton and Hillsboro where there's actually rule of law and shit. Also they mostly employ immigrants plus a few "neurotypical" whites. So there's this huge divide between the west and south where normal people work to make things that are in demand around the world versus the east side where it's all paranoid druggies who blow their minimum wage earnings at strip clubs.
It’s like living in the third world. Great place if you like running into meth-addled junkies or getting aggressively pan-handled at every corner by literal schizophrenics.
I know, there's just this void where pinging used to be and there's not enough bussy, gussy, or trussy in the universe to fill it. There's a healthy spectrum of potential lolcows in there, not to mention the mods really don't like it when stuff gets posted here. If we're lucky we might get a 'y'all folx can't behave' out of the mods.
Like so many other Portlanders, I've been constantly mired in a sort of treacly, low level, liberal middle class guilt for years - even decades- as the homeless camps proliferate with no solutions in sight. Like any good, progressive Oregonian, I am filled with compassion and concern.
But that compassion best flows at a distance. Working in Old Town for years has a grinding effect, like the slow erosion of particle board that's subjected to a daily stream of acrid urine. Each threat from a tweaker, each slippery step in human feces, each screaming alcoholic psychopath grinds just a little bit more compassion away. And we are told to be tolerant, to be patient, to care. To give, give, give. Be careful of the language we use.
But most people work all day, every day. Good people. Employed. They stay out of jail, off of drugs, they contribute to society. They pay massive taxes. They follow the rules. Maybe have a family, kids. Maybe they even own a little something here and there- a car, a house, a bicycle. And they're victimized by subhuman swine- bike thieves, window smashers, porch poopers, intimidating campers bent on violence and all consuming drugs. And their compassion slowly gives way to frustration.
As a reasonable person, most of us compassion-fatigued locals understand very clearly the differences between the homeless and the tweakers. We know some people just need help, a hand, hope, education, medical help, that kind that thing. But we also know that the guy that stole my bike isn't the norm. He's a c-word. And for many of us, he has forfeited his right to compassion by clearly -and sometimes violently- not showing us any.
And that's the slur, the derogatory term. It refers to a selection of people, maybe homeless, maybe not. Banning the term isn't going to get me my bike back, but it might make you feel better when you put your feet up and order a $7 ipa.
I’ve fucking had it with everyone treating the homeless in Portland with kid gloves. First it was the Burnside Bums and they refused to clean up Old Town. Now it’s fucking everywhere and the sidewalks are a campground/toilet. Enforcing camping laws does not make Portland a fascist state, and embracing homelessness does not validate Portland as a real big city with real big city problems.
In the Northeast, the homeless are annoying but generally don't cause too much of a problem. It seems like the ones on the west coast are more violent/intrusive. Is meth really a large problem in the bigger cities? Here it's mostly heroin/alcohol.
I'm sure the homeless people where you are have the same issues with being crazy and whacked out on drugs. The issue is mostly one of density. Cities like San Francisco (where I used to live) and Portland make it attractive for homeless people to migrate there or enable their behavior by offering free methadone and food while simultaneously letting the homeless sleep and shit in the streets without being harassed by cops.
The biggest mistake a lot of people make is thinking that the homeless are largely homeless because of 'bad luck'. Nothing could be further from the truth, most of them are actively making the choice to be homeless. You don't "rehabilitate" someone from a lifestyle that they are actively pursuing and now these cities are finding that out the hard way as their streets are being literally choked in human shit.
Makes sense. And yeah, I’m sure there’s some lost crazies and people in bad situations that find themselves homeless. But - it seems like there are a lot of outreach programs, etc. that help them get back on their feet if they want to
I love this sub for updates and discussions on my city, not to hear yet again that I’m a subhuman piece of garbage that should have died on the street. I got plenty of that IRL.
being homeless and your priority is getting offended on reddit
A lot of them are. Maybe not "at the end of the day" but when winter comes around and it rains every day. There's also ones who come from out of state who are really into living the life. And there's some who are from the area but ended up legit homeless because of Oregon's abysmal school system and mental health care.
It's okay though, because they're all Keeping Portland Weird! As long as they're a spectacle for tourists to laugh at, keep 'em comin!
I am cry laughing from the word criddler holy shit
So we can use comedic, NAZI themed memes that show symbols and gestures that many people find offensive, but we can’t use a word that describes homeless crackheads?
Imagine being filled with so much white, liberal guilt that you cannot stomach the idea of discussing homelessness without breaking down into an emotional mess but still being completely unwilling to accept that restrictive housing policies post almost universally by left of center governments is the root cause of high housing costs.
​
Unironically after the conservocide is over we need to have a libocide as well, then form a anarcho-centrist constituional tetriarchy based off the Holy Texts of Radical Centrism: On Liberty, Why Nations Fail and The Economist (with all the editorials on gender issues torn out).
Which turned into people rationalizing their opposing views with examples from Harry Pottah and I had to tap out.
Really appreciated the guy who gave a 5 paragraph long description of what living in that hellscape is like though. Getting your bike stolen by the same people who shit on your porch? Having to walk through their poo and piss on your way to work. And when you finally make it home without being stabbed some nerd tells you that you can't call them a mean name. lmao
I hear a recovered drug addict on Radio Scotland say he considered the word 'junkie' offensive. How daft is that? It just comes from the slang word 'junk' meaning narcotics, especially heroin, so it's purely descriptive. Of course people use it as an insult, since they dislike junkies, for obvious reasons.
I wonder if it will come out that half the mods are homeless, somewhat similar to when quite a few mods were outted to be muslim refugees for r/Europe.
