Whole thread is but here's a few good comment chains.
This guy no longer believes in progressivism
I went to a show at a theater in the TL on Wednesday night, it was really great and the venue ws packed. Great to see everyone out having a good time.
And coming home I saw two (what looked like) dead or dying people/bodies.
One, on the sidewalk. Guy laying down in the middle of the sidewalk, with a needle and what looked like rigor mortis, stiffened.
Two, an accident might have been a fatality (car crash, on the way home to East Bay).
No TRUE progressive would let the city fester!
Oh for frick's sake stop blaming Reagan!! Cali has had a Democrat super majority for decades, so why haven't they reinstated these institutions?? We have a budget surplus, so money is not an issue.
Sneed-and-forth about what to do with the mentally ill (my favorite exchange here tbh)
I don’t care drug addicted or mentally ill, lock him up somewhere. Enough of this shit.
So full of compassion you are. You realize the reason this persists is because the services he needs don’t exist, they were removed in the 70s and 80s. Locking them up only makes it harder for them to get back on their feet, and is literally the opposite of solving the problem. But hey, I guess it sates your emotions, so that’s okay right? Stop being so darn reactionary.

We could start an non-profit that encourages white homeless people to use the n word a lot, causing all the "empathetic" people to instantly turn on them. Not sure what the equivalent for our homeless POC friends would be though, pro-putin slogans maybe?

Judging by the Dave Chappelle fiasco, it's troid bashing

Train the white boys to say "frick BIPOCs", the black boys to say "frick s", and the foids to say "frick jannies". If you get enough of them together, the chorus will be enough to make any san franciscan cry

The recent reaction to the west coast criddler crisis reminds me of an exchange from Heat:
"Where's your empathy, brother? It's a substance abuse problem."
"Empathy was yesterday. Today you're just wasting my motherfricking time."

Seething over Reagan closing mental asylums never gets old. If Carter did it he would be considered a hero due to the state of those hospitals. I bet most of the redditors aren't even old enough to remember a time when Regan was still alive.

You'd think the most liberal/r-slurred city in the country could overcome the doings of a Republican governor 50 years ago, but apparently nobody gips the Gipper.

Redditors always act as though they've found some huge gotcha, when in reality this is how the average person thinks. The average american does not care for the junkie pooping on the bus or dropping needles next to a play ground.

The next Batman reboot needs to be far more realistic and show a massively neurodivergent billionaire training intensively and secretly building an arsenal of tools so he can drive around at night and beat the homeless
