I’ve lived in a big city for years now. Never seen anybody get mugged, or shot, or carjacked, despite doing activist work that often has me visiting poor minority neighborhoods.
The only time I ever really felt uneasy was when I had to walk alone at night through a neighborhood where all the businesses had bars on the windows. Worst thing that happened was a couple of people asking me for money, and they didn’t give me any shit when I said I didn’t carry cash.
But any time I visit the small town where I grew up there’s always someone or another acting like I came back from a fucking warzone lmao
“Try that in a small town” oh you mean the suburbs where everyone is alienated and afraid and paranoid of their neighbor so they shoot a kid who’s basketball lands on their front yard? Yum, community spirit!
No better description. They might as well surrender to the Machines and get into the Matrix.
The Matrix won’t be able to extract any good juice from those brains.
The steak scene from the matrix but the steak is overcooked and slathered in ketchup to own the libs
