The fact that crime has gone down 50% does not mean that the city is safe. Its like saying that the temperature in hell is down 50% so it must be cool. This should be intuitive logical reasoning and if you didn’t understand this right away you are probably just unintelligent

Yeah not denying that its true, but the fact that its down 50% does not mean that its safe. I mean obviously

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 3w

You’re unintelligently assuming that the “temperature,” going by your analogy, was “in hell” to begin with. The crime rate in Washington DC is already low compared to other municipalities and cities. DC’s crime rate dropping an additional 50% means it went from cold to freezing. Your lack of grasping intuitive logical reasoning, despite claiming to utilize it, just makes you look like an even bigger idiot.

18

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 3w

50% just means it’s cut by half. It doesn’t mean there was an absurdly high amount of crime to begin with. If 2 people were murdered last year, and only 1 has been murdered this year, that is a 50% drop in murder year-to-date. That’s how BASIC MATH works.

Anonymous #11 3w

Lol, but you understand that you are making a whole new argument, an argument that is actually valid Just saying it went down 50% isn’t sufficient to refute the claim that crime is high

-3

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 3w

No lmao. Because aesthetics are subjective, and praising the Nazis for their aesthetics are condoning them on a person level. It absolutely is concerning to say that you love the Nazi aesthetic. What it is is scary, as it represents a level of ordered behavior and faith in nationalistic myths that can only be maintained through sheer brutality.

Anonymous #12 3w

Why is it even bad to praise them for something on a person level? Im not saying their policies or philosophy is good, just that they have good taste when it comes to aesthetics. Are we seriously not allowed to praise evil people for anything?? Am I supposed to just lie and say that I hate the way they built things? Why Cant everyone just be honest about what they like

is this really the hill you want to die on? that fascistic takeovers look cool and should be praised for their aesthetics? you’re free to think that it’s just fucking stupid😭

13

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 3w

You’re not even praising anything in particular like their uniform design or architecture. You’re saying that you like the general aesthetic of situations that depict Nazi Germany. And even if I were to say that I like something in particular, I would not consider it to be "praising" Hitler or the regime. That is also problematic, as it would imply that my arbitrary aesthetic preferences would have any significant bearing on my overall perception of them. Of course, it doesn’t.

No I genuinely like the uniformity, I think it mogs capitalist architecture that practices minimalism. I shouldn’t have to think about the political ramifications of saying what I believe and I dont think anyone else should either. If saying everyone deserves free healthcare is praising socialist regimes I do not care. If saying I like the aesthetic of fascist regimes more than corporate America slop is “praising Hitler” then ig im praising Hitler. Who cares, can we just speak freely?

I’m not an expert on Nazi architecture, but the culture of uniformity and how they enforced it is directly problematic, so yes, there is something wrong with your aesthetic preferences specifically.

I think we can separate beliefs about architecture from broader beliefs

I don’t give a crap about architecture. But if you were referring to uniformity of architecture, those who dislike originality and creativity aren’t generally given the benefit of doubt in our culture either.

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 3w

And was the architecture also what you were referring to in this post? I don’t think you really thought your argument through, and you’re now just digging yourself in a hole.

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 3w

Architecture is not really a place you can sepearate art from the artist, it is usually made with specific intentions by its designers. The Nazis did understand optics very well but that doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to just unapologetically “find their aesthetic cool”

Do you think people would vote for you guys more often if you didnt try to constantly lecture others on dumb trivialities? I think the buildings and the uniforms look cool. Stop being lame, its okay to think that things are cool. Bernie is cool too, so is FDR and other left wing figures. You can think things are cool if you want. Just relax

First of all, I can’t help but think that, by "dum trivialities," you just means intellectualization. Second of all, yes, it does entirely depend on what you mean by "cool." You can think that Nazi Germany is an interesting subject to study. It was quite a fascinating moment in history. In this particular instance, it’s so obvious that you aren’t being intellectually honest because uniforms and architecture aren’t even your own fascinations. I gave those to you as example.

My brother in Christ, you are presupposing that crime was high in the first place. We were not in hell as you put it DC in 2012? Hell. DC in 2024? Nope. There is NO reason to be doing any of this. 2023 was a statistical outlier, as is clear by how 2024 was. Yes, this is still a high rate when looked at on its own, but when you compare DC to similarly sized cities such as Kansas City or Memphis, the rates are actually on the lower side

Yes this argument makes sense, the original one did not. “Yoo its down 50% tho” doesn’t mean that its now a low crime rate The reason why that person made that argument though was because pundits spread that same argument last week on social media. Which is appealing to midwits but is not logically sound by itself. I mean can we just agree that that claim isolation by itself isnt a logical rebuttal

Whether it’s a logical rebuttals depends on what the initial justification was for military occupancy of Washington D.C. Was there even one beyond the single word "crime"? Irrational decisions without justification hardly need rational counters.

Considering that I don’t know what that first part means, I doubt I "bestowed upon you" any knowledge of it. You still didn’t even explain what you mean when you say that you like the aesthetic of fascist regimes, specifically as it pertains to the image in the post, to which your top-level common was initially responding. It’s brainwashing and bootlicking. That is all the image depicts.

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 2w

No. The first guy didn’t make a precise, logical argument at all because people in general are not rational. They just used the rhetoric of their cult leader to evoke emotions that are powerful to those within the cult. In the most rigid form of the implied argument, we could easily invoke a reductio ad absurdum that even just a single mugging could justify a police state. Stop being selective in your pedantry.

And why are you holding others to such rigorous standards of thought in this thread while saying that "not everything needs to be a psychoanalysis session" in the other.

It’s not cool. It’s scary that anyone would be so delusional as to blindly follow a person rather than draw independent conclusions through their own reasoning. And I feel superior to anyone who attends political rallies because I focus on larger philosophical and scientific questions that transcends insignificant human concerns.

The point is not that Trump is "r*tarded." It’s that he spews tons of misinformation that only be countered with education of indiscriminate facts. The decrease in crime rates recently is a relevant fact of note. The dynamic between lying politicians, mainstream media, and rhetoric adopted by our culture is not one of ordered debate.

4

Anonymous upstairs_neighbor 2w

One major difference between a media-party oligarchy and a cult is the influence on the voters. It’s well-known that American political parties are oligarchies. But this says nothing about how the voters of the party or citizens in general treat the oligarchy. They might even acknowledge it as an oligarchy but still vote for lack of other options. They are not under any delusion nor do they pledge undying loyalty.
