Been lurking after seeing the link on Dakka and am curious.
The 10 or so posters here seem to be experts on war, economic policy, race relations, rights of the marginalized, etc. But everything they post seems to match up well with the policies of a place like San Francisco, where it seems like we should look at whatever theyre doing, and not do that.
Is it true that, as mentioned on the Dakka thread that led here, youre all just honest to god ‘tankies?’ Or just bitter about whatever circumstances led you to this?
I dont get it. From reading, it could be a great parody, but if youre serious, I wonder about how you all ended up like this. Is it a stress relief to scream into the void, rather than post somewhere people will read, or could there be some explanation I am missing from a decade or more of lost context?

Im not grog, FWIW, not that I could prove that to you any more than you could prove youre not david beckham.
It looks like youre serious here. Holy shit.
It wouldve made great parody: take every failed policy ever and support it full throatedly. But reality exceeds parody here, looks like.

Someone doesn't seem to understand what a 'failed policy' is...

When was the last time you actually went to a city like San Francisco? You’re basing your opinions on faulty reporting and outright bullshit. Are you for real?

That's why you waited until Grog was finally banned for being a racist, homophobic, transphobic piece of complete shit before you decided to stop lurking. But, perhaps you can actually specify exactly what failed policies of California you mean? Come on, give us the bill numbers so we can look them up, the research papers analysing the impact etc.

Research papers, what the actual fuck? Just open your damn eyes and take your pick: www.tiktok.com/discover/sf-homelessWhatever that city and state is doing, it aint workin, and youd have to be a parody or a moron to say it is and we should do it MORE. I was thinking parody, but I guess its the other one, good to know.

So, your source of information is tiktok, and you call us a parody?
Have you, for instance, considered that the prevalence of visible homeless people in california is due to the climate making it possible to live on the street all year round without risk of freezing to death, as well as it being a fact that many places had a policy of buying homeless people bus tickets out of their jurisdiction?
I mean, just the other day Texas bussed a load of immigrants to LA with no co-ordination of how to house those people when they reach their destination. Would you be happy if San Francisco rounded up the homeless population and put them on buses to Dallas? After all, the visible homeless population in San Fran would be reduced so by your metric of "are homeless people visible on tiktok?" it must be a successful policy, right?
Also, perhaps you could find a single post here saying that the government in San Francisco has a good policy in place to tackle the homeless problem? Because I can't think of a time when I have ever said that anywhere in the USA has a good policy for tackling homelessness as a long term problem. Quite the opposite in fact.
Or are you just here to tilt at windmills that tiktok tells you to be angry about, regardless of any basis in fact? Because that would make you a fucking moron.

I’m not real.
Or am I!
I mean, I think, so apparently am. But grog, my dear sweet micro penised grog, whilst you’ve never had an original thought in your life you at least seem to have enough capacity to absorb the shite of your preferred sources and uncritically vomit it back at the wider world. And so I’m pretty confident there’s an argument whilst conscious, you don’t actually think, and therefore you am not?
But I could say the same of the Cacti I have in my lovely goffik boudoir. And they definitely am. And just like you, they’re barley more than a wee prick.

I finished my pile of shame, and I am still alive.
The question is, was I ever really alive in the first place?

No.
You’re clearly a myth, and therefore no to be trusted. *scowls in doubt*

I think you'd struggle to find any tankies here. If the tankies got their ideal society I, for example, would be getting shot.
