My city is gone, what about yours?

[alang1216]

The city I grew up in is a piece of work. It is a small New England town tucked away in southwestern New Hampshire with a beautiful church at the head of a circular rotary featuring a statue of a Civil War soldier. On a sultry summer night well after the witching hour in 1967 my friend Sonny and I were trying to move scattered cannonballs back into the neat pile where they originated around the replica cannon on Central Square as it is known.

Those round projectiles were incredibly heavy, and I could barely roll one, but Sonny was strong, and he could lift one and carry it. Just three years prior the city had been recognized for an “All-America-City” award, a distinction not handed out lightly. I could not have known a half century ago that the city would devolve into a bizarre Orwellian nightmare, manufacturing moronic Manchurian Candidates of political correctness.

The city has a newspaper, a radio station, and a college that have morphed into a kind of local Bermuda Triangle of dispensed brain damage, influencing public opinion in destructive ways, not the least of which appears to be a drop in local average intelligence. It is counterintuitive that a city with a college at its center would produce a cerebrally stunted population but that appears to be the case and it seems to be part of a plan to wreck civilized society in order to rebuild it in the image of some grand utopian surveilled and controlled model of totalitarian overlording.

It has been nearly 60 years since that All America City Award and in the overall scheme that is not much time to stupefy a community into giving up their most important freedoms. A brazen, stolen, and crooked presidential election took place right before the eyes of local denizens preoccupied with the fairy dust of equity, inclusion, and Critical Race Theory. The city is lost, and I am greatly saddened by this outcome.

All I can do is to keep an account of what is happening and use wordsmithing skills to bring it to the people. That is becoming more difficult in an age that cancels “dangerous thinking”. For those that can still think, censorship is the hallmark of every totalitarian society that has ever existed. If you are reading this you are still free, but time is running out. My city is gone, what about yours?

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY (4th largest city in the US). I recall it mostly as a gritty, working class, area of ethnic enclaves. Almost everyone I knew from there has since left the city. Today it is a vibrant area that all NYers would love to move to, if they could afford it. The city has been run by the Dems almost non-stop but it has survived and prospered under them.

Brooklyn? Pass. Any part of New York SHITTY needs to be sunk into the Atlantic.

When was the last time you were there?

LOL. You obviously didn't hang around Brooklyn in the late 1980's. Compared to back then, it looks like suburban Long Island now.

I've always lived in the good part of the state.

Um, all that babbling, I read this twice, and you still haven't told us what change happened in your city to make it "Gone", exactly.

It's pretty simple you stupid commie fuck, the heart of the city is dead. And the disease that killed it is spreading. Anti-American assholes like you are proof positive of that.

New York Shitty has been nothing but a leech on the rest of the state. Every fucking idiotic policy that comes from the Capital District is geared EXCLUSIVELY to benefit the cesspool and to hell with the rest of the state.

 

[Rigby5]

Cities have always been bad for humans.
The natural social instincts likely can not scale up that large very well.
So it is always important to divide up urban space into more appropriate, smaller, units.
For example, you don't run a single central school system, but each school having its own local PTA meetings, where decisions are made.

 

[bripat9643]

Until America is completely erased and transformed into a Marxist state of poverty...their work will continue.

Unimpeded I must add

It is as much the fault of those who did nothing....as it is those who did everything

The uppity left will be crushed. Humans have been rising up against their ilk for the past 5,000 years.

Funny you mention history, because liberalism has always won out in the end for all of it.

You mean like Venezuela? Cuba?

 

[JoeB131]

Everyone thought so before the Woke crowd started screaming.

Well, actually, no. Columbus wasn't an important figure before the 20th century. He was more of a footnote.

Then Italian-Americans wanted a "hero".

So it was more about people being woke in 1934, which is when Columbus Day was made a holiday.

 

[toobfreak]

My hometown is gone.

Now all that is left is to rename the

• Columbia River
• Columbus Ohio
• Columbia Records
• Columbia Gas
• Columbus News
• Columbia Dispatch
• Columbus Zoo
• Columbus Clippers
• Columbia University
• Columbine School
• and the Columbo TV Show

all after safe, politically-correct group-appeasing names and all will be well in the country again, right?

 

[miketx]

NYC is still NYC.

Always evolving and still the Center of the Universe.

A shithole by any other name would stink as much

I grant you there is a part of most NYC natives that considers Canada begins just north of Bear Mountain. On the other hand, almost 1/2 of all NYers live in or around the city. I do feel for you since I feel the same way about Wyoming having way more power (proportionally) than NY does.

The left seems to have a problem with diversity of thought.

Ahh yes, another asswipe who thinks the urban shitholes should have ALL the say in the national agenda. Two words for you: Screw YOU!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Another "good old days" thread? I grew up in almost unimaginable poverty in various rural Appalachian shitholes. Nostalgia is for people who grew up pampered and sheltered with full bellies and parents who had time to raise them.

Is that your excuse why you are so stupid about everything political?

 

[Flash]

The Leftest in this country have destroyed everything they touched.

What happened?
Does it matter?
What changed that city?
Well....the desires of a few outweighs the desires of the many.
This is how the minority ends up oppressing the majority.
This is not Democracy.
