Have to leave

2018-05-22 17:33:46 UTC

then move, the neighborhood shouldn't stay shitty

2018-05-22 17:33:54 UTC

Ask San Francisco, locals have been demanding tech companies engineers to move out.

2018-05-22 17:34:16 UTC

Because poor people can't afford to live there anymore.

@Deleted User There is a reason we Love you

2018-05-22 17:37:43 UTC

My take on this is: if white people moving out turns your neighborhood to shit, maybe the whiteys were the ones keeping it nice. They don't owe a nice neighborhood to anyone. That said, government shouldn't deny services, and I believe that's illegal.

Again we turn to Empire of Dust

2018-05-22 17:39:11 UTC

at some point you have to separate market forces from perceived racism. people try to do what is in their best interest, and if enough people do that trends will emerge, and then you can look at those trends later and come up with all sorts of ideas as to what the motivation behind it was. but at the end of the day, it's just people trying to improve their lives.

2018-05-22 17:40:20 UTC

If you see things only in a racial lense, you will see racism where there isnt any

2018-05-22 17:40:33 UTC

exactly

2018-05-22 17:41:40 UTC

I actually don't understand the issue with Gentrification though, I probably don't know too much about it, but from the Wikipedia article, it sounds like the shitty neighborhoods are improving when "whities" move in.

Imagine Broo and Kaden watching Empire of Dust together

2018-05-22 17:42:34 UTC

As for business leaving when demographics change, could simply be the new locals spend less money on the business. Maybe they have less money, or different culture. Gotta raise prices to stay afloat, or move shop.

2018-05-22 17:43:11 UTC

The second thing is, who wants to own a shop in crime infested part of town?

2018-05-22 17:43:23 UTC

White Flash is different btwfrom gentrification lol @franti

2018-05-22 17:43:46 UTC

It's not as simple as "I'm gonna screw those niggers, jack my prices up do they can't afford it."

2018-05-22 17:44:28 UTC

"white flash"

2018-05-22 17:44:30 UTC

<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-05-22 17:45:21 UTC

But The Flash has always been white... Or did DC reboot it again?

I don't care if you are Purple or Green

2018-05-22 17:49:15 UTC

gentrification can be bad for poorer people because making a neighborhood "nice" drives up prices because people want to move there. also more expensive shops will move in to cater to the richer people.

2018-05-22 17:51:24 UTC

racism is just an excuse for commies to shit on capitalism

In the Uk we call it Keeping up Appearances

in the USA it's more White picket fences

2018-05-22 17:53:05 UTC

lol, we have that show on PBS

2018-05-22 19:50:53 UTC

@Fulcrum010 redpill her, with your dick

2018-05-22 19:53:05 UTC

Hahahahahaha

2018-05-22 19:53:09 UTC

That would be ideal

2018-05-22 19:53:24 UTC

But for real, I do believe his sister have a lot to gain by hanging around here

2018-05-22 23:30:23 UTC

You think Communists suffer from a Survivorship Bias?

2018-05-23 00:58:50 UTC

As in we have no dropped enough of them into the ocean?

2018-05-23 00:59:00 UTC

or that they have been able to swim back

2018-05-23 01:23:04 UTC

Maybe that they survived longer than their nazi brethren

One of the "sources" say that Trump had 500 twitter bots. And Hillary had at least a million bots.

2018-05-23 05:02:00 UTC

Nowhere the "7:1" figure appears in the supposed sources.

2018-05-23 05:02:14 UTC

Wikipedia is Fake News.

2018-05-23 05:21:25 UTC

"Russian agents"

2018-05-23 05:22:21 UTC

Christ, it's so dramatic

I LOVE that FAKE NEWS was invented by the Democrats

and it only took 9 days

to make it a Trump thing

<:covfefe:440543908846632980>

``` China sought to direct contributions from foreign sources to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before the 1996 presidential campaign.```

2018-05-23 16:29:56 UTC

***hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm***

2018-05-23 17:42:37 UTC

Talking about Southern... On Tim's last stream, he mentioned how people on the right want to help Europe from exterminating their culture. But Europeans are not standing up to save their culture, so Americans don't have the right to step in and save them. He compared it to leftists that want to be offended in the name of minorities they pretend to defend.

2018-05-23 17:46:32 UTC

he is right

2018-05-23 17:48:56 UTC

It's a bit unfair to claim they don't want to be saved. It could just be they're afraid to demonstrate their discontent.

2018-05-23 17:49:39 UTC

But, that only changes from "don't want to be saved" to "are a bunch of cowards."

2018-05-23 17:56:06 UTC

they don't see a problem

2018-05-23 17:59:19 UTC

alt-righty identitarians seem totally okay with destroying their own countries; they just don't want it destroyed by 'the brown people' <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2018-05-23 18:00:13 UTC

muh white culture

2018-05-23 18:00:39 UTC

let's see if the frenchs will play ball and gave up their culture

2018-05-23 18:11:08 UTC

@Fulcrum010 I mean the French are a bunch of surrenderfags

2018-05-23 18:12:15 UTC

not always

2018-05-23 19:23:03 UTC

Employers and entrepreneurs know best about what and at what price they need to be produced. They have the best information about the situation on the market, where they try their daily efforts to promote their goods and services. The less the obstacle they face in the way, the greater the benefits they bring to the people and the country. No government should therefore be exaggerated over the market.
Bad decisions of the governments of a country always hurt most. Over the past years, we have been constantly faced with the temptation of governmental parties to intervene in the economy in a way that creates unnecessary property gaps and reduces the prosperity of society and individuals.
In particular, the left-wing governments are trying to instill in people the illusion that spontaneous market forces need to be replaced by a state authority that overwhelms and knows the best way. Deep mistake! I do not claim that the market will solve everything. But the government is supposed to do such an economic policy, which does not in any way distort the market by giving some of the selected entrepreneurs exceptional benefits. This is protectionism and discrimination.

2018-05-23 19:25:56 UTC

Whoโ€™s opinion is this?

2018-05-23 19:25:57 UTC

I agree with that stance

2018-05-23 19:26:23 UTC

I agree with the statement

2018-05-23 19:26:27 UTC

The Slovak Liberal party

2018-05-23 19:26:40 UTC

I'm not exactly an economist so I don't really have a strong stance of the issue, but for the most part I agree

2018-05-23 19:26:41 UTC

Huh

2018-05-23 19:26:50 UTC

How popular are they @franti ?

2018-05-23 19:27:00 UTC

2nd most popular

2018-05-23 19:27:03 UTC

I agree with it

2018-05-23 19:27:22 UTC

<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-05-23 19:28:04 UTC

I won't say that the market should be completely free, because some companies can and will take advantage of that

2018-05-23 19:28:18 UTC

I do not claim that the market will solve everything.

2018-05-23 19:28:28 UTC

This is an important part of it

2018-05-23 19:29:18 UTC

I prefer free markets to state authority

2018-05-23 19:30:48 UTC

At the same time you have to make sure the system can't be exploited through government corruption (which will happen if you give the government power over the private market)

Here is more
You have heard your friend or acquaintance comment on the situation of the homeless with the words: "Its his own fault. He shouldnt have started drinking. "This consideration neglects the fact that when someone is beautiful, healthy, strong and intelligent, he will hardly fall into poverty. Nobody is a volunteraly poor alcoholic without a roof over his head.

It can happen to everyone. We can have accidents, we can have strokes, we can go bankrupt and psychologically hurt, we cant get out of liquor ... We can get rid of it and maybe not. Maybe good people can help us and maybe they all turn away from us. But the certainty that no man is starving is the privilege of a civilized society.

It seems that the basic certainty of the individual is important only to him. But we create a civilized society and do not let them die of hunger or lack of health care for anyone, neither old nor sick or even lazy. The reward for civilization is the fact that we do not live in times of turmoil caused by masses in need. It appears that solidarity is a guarantee of stability in society. We understand that stability is something.

Just repeating. The fact that an individual will be solidary with the individual in times of its misery is one of the most important factors in seeking personal happiness of man, but also the stability of a civilized society. On the other hand, however, this security must not restrict the individual's efforts.

2018-05-23 19:37:09 UTC

It's the same party?

2018-05-23 19:37:20 UTC

This seems a bit more lefty

2018-05-23 19:37:37 UTC

yes

2018-05-23 19:37:47 UTC

The same party

2018-05-23 19:37:51 UTC

Agreed

2018-05-23 19:38:30 UTC

Well here it kina seems they use a lot of words without really saying much

2018-05-23 19:38:37 UTC

Yeah

2018-05-23 19:38:42 UTC

They don't come up with a solution

2018-05-23 19:38:56 UTC

They have concrete policy

2018-05-23 19:39:16 UTC

It is in Slovak and I am lazy to translate it

2018-05-23 19:39:25 UTC

I am talking specifically about what you just sent

2018-05-23 19:40:16 UTC

I agree with that too @franti

2018-05-23 19:40:26 UTC

But it's tricky to do it in a way that doesn't restrict his efforts
