Instead of being passive aggressive with this psuedo-scoratic bullshit, why don't you just say outright what you mean? You're talking about covid.
A global pandemic is a shitty excuse for these hyper-local phenomena. It's not covid; it's the voting public of San Francisco (and two or three other west coast cities) and the disastrous politicians they elect.

- slipframe 5y agoNice try, but it's not murders and violent crimes that this discussion is about. Murders are not the crimes that 70% of San Franciscans are getting upset about. This degree of neighborhood destroying homelessness, rioting, and organized shoplifting at this scale are local phenomena, not national. These are the crimes that personally impact almost everybody besides the exceptionally privileged in cities like San Francisco and Seattle (were, across the street from me visible through my living-room window, a homeless camp has burned down twice in the past two months. I've lived here for ten year, but enough is enough. I'm getting the hell out of this city, and I'm far from the only one who's fed up with it. But keep on gaslighting, jackass.)
