That was such a damn snake-like move from him that I am in the awe of the man. Did you notice that even his own audience didn't even cheer and laugh at most of his monologue like they used to? Jon Stewart used to be genuinely funny, I watched him on the regular, but now he is very much spewing WEF talking points and this appears to be the best he can come up with to justify the bullshit happening with the mass migration right now.
No, I do not have to accept shit living standards in order to live freely in my own community. What's funny is I don't think even normies are going to buy this because we objectively have far less freedom than we did back in the day and had much higher living standards. I don't need to bring up the neverending psyops, covid lockdowns and mass surveillance to this crowd and I think even the normies feel like they simply cannot speak out on certain issues compared to before.
What a fucking joke, I would not be shocked if for a next segment he starts defending 'woke' and completely gaslights everyone on what is. Alternatively we'll see him do major damage control for the left several years too late. I remember how much gaslighting redditors would often do when it came to the blue haired crazies trying to pretend they were a minority then if you do a teensy little bit of digging you quickly find out they're run of the mill lefties who believe in just as much crazy shit as the blue haired ones but a different variety. I do very much believe that Jon Stewart is a mercenary rather than an activist though, WEF brought back one of the old boys to get late night shows back on track.
The thing is I really did watch him back in the day and he had some pretty milque toast takes most of the time. He kept it hidden well I can tell you being someone who followed him his rhetoric has changed big time but what is clear to me he's following the money.
They hate us because we aren't Islamists. The Zionist puppetry doesn't help.
Yes, I know there are a smattering of places where Muslims don't exterminate everyone else. Those are the exceptions, and they will also be exterminated as soon as they don't have the oil wealth to protect themselves because they're massively outnumbered by the hordes of savages.
He was right and wrong. They do hate us for our freedoms. But they hate us more for the bullshit our intelligence agencies and other slime do in our name. If our only crime was "freedom," they'd (generally) be happy to leave us alone. They've got much bigger issues to deal with, like fighting their fellow Muslims, who are much closer and a more present danger.
So, yes, they hate us for our freedom. And, considering the form some of those freedoms take, they're not even entirely wrong, but that's a separate topic. Point is, yes, we have massive cultural differences, but that is in no way the root cause of any conflict. The US has done nothing but stick their dick in the hornet nest for decades. That's why they hate us.
I look forward to the day when we can all stop pretending that unusable public transit and unlivable cities in general is caused by anything other than a failure to hold blacks accountable for anti-social behavior
That's a huge part of it, but I think the larger issue is a plain inability to say "just because your life sucks doesn't mean you get to do drugs in the park/park your piece of shit RV on the street/camp in the street/harass people on the street.
Most of the bums who do that shit in Seattle aren't black, though of course the black ones are granted even greater license to behave poorly.
One of the Jewish vaudeville actors who did blackface back in the early 20th century said the “carefree” lifestyle of the black man was what he aspired to. That same hedonistic mindset was of course found in Hollywood for decades, and infiltrated every major metropolitan area under the guise of “culture”. The simple reality is that when we hold one to a lower standard we hold all to that standard. It’s no different than the communist grade experiment where when one person slacks off and gets the same grade eventually everyone will.
That's a huge part of it, but I think the larger issue is a plain inability to say "just because your life sucks doesn't mean you get to do drugs in the park/park your piece of shit RV on the street/camp in the street/harass people on the street.
So death to anyone who ends up homeless for any reason?
Where will they go? Who cares? Hopefully, they will disappear, that is, move from the ranks of the petted and cosseted bum class to the ranks of the productive members of society.
It's not even just not holding blacks accountable for anti-social behavior, the woke state has gone further in actually preventing anyone from holding blacks accountable.
Imagine how the NY subway environment would be different if the governor gave the subway chokehold guy the key to the city instead of a felony indictment.
Leibowitz is in opposite bizzaro world again, because in a free society you'd be able to defend yourself and others on the subway, but people in NY are not free to do so.
I got front-row seats to how his style of "debate" poisoned my generation. And not just regarding politics: it even at times degraded my professional discussions.
<behavior> sucks
OK what would be a better behavior then?
Something that doesn't <mockery by needlessly crude analogy>
OK that doesn't give me any better an idea of what your (presently unstated) requirements are.
Do what better, and how exactly? What are the parameters? What is the baseline and what is an attainable goal? What is the tangible measurement of improvement?
Let’s be real “do better” actually means “do what I want.” We just didn’t realize that is what he was saying.
Leibowitz‘s return will not be the saving move the uniparty thinks it will be. His slimeball tricks worked great when the right thought the left were good people with bad ideas. Now that the mask has slipped that dog won’t hunt.
Gee, how convenient that the price of freedom is dangerous, crime-riddled public transportation that a wealthy celebrity like you, Mr. Leibowitz, never has to use. And the same time, you demand all the filthy plebs use said dangerous, crime-riddled public transportation instead of personal automobiles so that "we" can all cut down on our carbon emission.
Yeah, FUCK. YOU. YOU RICH. ENTITLED. PIECE. OF. SHIT.
Even the normies are going to start thinking this when things get bad enough, freedom will be regarded as a luxury belief thanks to mass migration. We could have had it and I write could because I think we've already lost it and it happened at least in the UK around when Blair took power because he's the one that kicked off a lot of shit the shit foreigners see every day here.
Ding ding. Subversives like him actually despise liberty. They want the rest of us to hate the idea of "freedom" so that we accept more of their societal controls and the government's meddling in personal affairs.
Democracy is talking itself to death. The people do not know what they want; they do not know what is the best for them. There is too much foolishness, too much lost motion. I have stopped the talk and the nonsense. I am a man of action. Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. You in America will see that someday.
This might just be a lasting meme. Slap "the price of freedom" on anything. Riots? Poop in the streets? Woman pushed in front of a subway car? That's just the price of freedom, baby.
The price of freedom is that we reign death elsewhere so it never gets here.
The cost of infrastructure, and the loss of it, is because we've been told for decades to get a degree in a useless treadmill college instead of going and taking things like structural engineering and other blue collar jobs.
There are places that will pay for your house, pay you to live there and pay for the schooling if you learn a trade that is desperately needed.
If, in exchange for being under the perpetual thumb of a "brutal dictator," I get an objectively better quality of life for myself and my family on the condition I don't speak out against "brutal dictator" then sign me up, because the way I see it right now is that I'm already in a brutal dictatorship ruled by people that want me dead, only here my groceries are almost prohibitively expensive and there's shit all over the street.
This is awful and disappointing. Jon Stewart is a known hack and propagandist, but his propaganda used to at least be on a better level. This is just lazy and weak. Shame on you, Jon. Double shame, in fact; one for the propaganda, two for doing it so poorly.
there are some that are genuinely funny, timelessly so.
then there are some where we thought they were funny then, and like you point out, now we know better from life experience.
then there are some where we thought they were funny then, but now people know how racist he is, what he really means, he was using his platform to brainwash us into laughing about getting us to cuck ourselves.
jon stewart is fucking evil, a horribly racist piece of shit. he does "fellow white people" to speak all sorts of ills upon whites, and then "oh, but i'm jewish". he's just fucking evil, racist as shit.
Looks at Japan, South Korea, Switzerland even to some extent Germany: You sure about that?
Let's be honest, transportation in America is a shitshow because EVERYTHING there is designed around the car. It's a country where people will drive across an area that most places in the world would be several countries and it wouldn't be that much of a big deal. That means people are less caring about public transport so it's easier to scim some of the funds meant to upgrade transportation to private slush funds.
The only places worse for public transport than the US is places like the UK where literal beaurocracy and extremely poor planning stops ANY improvement being met on time and in some cases to quality. I think they've given up on that HS2 line they've been waffling over for over a decade...
I'd say it's both a population with a destructive mentality AND constant embezzlement by corrupt politicians voted in by said destructive population because they give them free gibs.
It's a constant cycle of shit feeding each other till the urban centre dies.
Yes, america is designed around cars, because you fucking need them. You can drive for 12 hours and still be in texas. Public transportation is shit unless your entire population is crammed in major cities and countries about the size of states.
Pretty much, it's MUCH too expensive and not worth it to build trains everywhere given the size of America. You're better off with trains focused on industrial use unless urban only and airports everywhere else.
And both of those are still secondary to cars and even trucks.
California, despite bragging about being the 5th largest economy in the world, can't get a fucking high-speed rail built without going grossly overbudget.
Meanwhile, Taiwan, a Chinese rump state on an island with minimal resources, managed to get one built.
The one US state where public transportation might make sense is also a South America-tier corrupt shithole.
Honestly I'm not sure how viable high speed rail is that close to a fault line anyway. The tolerances on the track quality aren't that big so it could be that the whole line is constantly out of commission for inspection/repair after every minor quake.
It is reasonable to build high speed trains regionally. There's absolutely no reason there shouldn't be a bullet train between Los Angeles and San Diego or New York City and Boston, other than communists running the local governments and refusing to lock up the people who make public transportation unusable.
Don't blame this on the car. Ultra-high-density cities are the enemy, and cars help prevent them. The dedication to building hive cities is the problem.
Oh I'm not saying it's a bad thing that America is car centric, I'm just outlining why, like all things in the real world that the leftist ignore in their fantasy delusions, it's contextual if public transport is an effective solution to the area and how best to utilise it.
I keep noticing this and it's clear the government is as well which is why the elites are trying to come up with ways to discourage people from driving and their main way is make it too fucking expensive and you can't convince me there isn't a conspiracy going on with that.
Car insurance premiums in the UK are a joke and it's getting so bad that even the normies are noticing it and complaining. A lot of them are 'shocked' at some of the quotes they've been getting and the insurance companies try to sneakily blame inflation but the reality is especially here we're forced to pay for car insurance and there are limits on everything. I'm generally a free market guy and this isn't a free market. They want to price people off the roads. I've been doing for maths and even the most basic vehicles ever it's slowly starting to hit the 1000's even for guys like me who have been driving for years and I'm in my 30's now. It's not a fucking ferrari I'm trying to get either, it's a Citroen C1 and other similar hatchbacks.
The problem is and I can see it all happening in real time the elites don't understand that boomers won't be able to drive the heavy vehicles especially forever and that's going to hit western infrastructure so fucking hard. They think they can replace it all with migrants, but likely more of them are illegal than western governments are willing to admit, so they can't get licenses and you certainly aren't going to get employers willing to take on the risk in the potential event they'll go truck of peace for no damn reason and try to ram a ton of people.
This leaves the younger generations who have been royally fucked to the point they could barely own a 50cc scooter if they're lucky. The responses they get from out of touch and vindictive boomers as well take the piss where they go with the "Young drivers wanting sports cars and tearing around the suburbs" stereotype. Young generations aren't even passing driving tests anymore so where do that leave us? Much of the date that car insurance companies have aren't even relevant and frankly any of the 'young' drivers especially if they're migrants doing that kind of shit are likely illegal to begin with because I see the fuckers around in Bradford and know exactly who they are.
The whole thing is probably going to collapse in on itself within 10 years and the migrants will mysteriously self-deport when the government money dries up and that's a genuine prediction from me. Regardless of whether Trump wins the presidency or not. This is the collapse that I'm predicting, it will be one of infrastructure not a food crisis.
It's such a piss take as well looking at it from an outsider perspective because a lot of EU countries especially the likes of Poland and Hungary apparently have much more reasonable car insurance costs and rules. Easily the biggest piss take of this whole situation is one of utter denial and the usual NPCs responses of people trying to justify the corporate decision not realising the impact this is all going to have on the economy.
It's worse than a scam, it's a scam the government forces you to pay extortionate amounts of money for to even do certain things or exist in the country. Since car insurance is almost legally required in most countries the insurance companies know they can charge whatever they like even if it's completely retarded.
That's crazy cuz there are places in Europe, and especially Japan, that have extremely clean cities and subways.
Japan has an almost supernatural level of personal accountability. Between students cleaning the school daily, to subways and train stations dedicated to employing the elderly to give them work and respect and dignity, or public works dedicated to the beautification and cleanliness of Japans public spaces.. they have issues like any other nation but goddamn am I jealous by of their culture when it comes to things like that. The societal cohesion makes me green with envy.
the level of cleanliness of Tokyo is almost sterile, accepted a 200 page rental apartment ad book as you walked out of station because you kinda felt bad for the worker? well now you get to hold that book all the way to the hotel because there are no public trash cans anywhere, are you going to be the litter bug like some sort of barbaric gaijins?
I was hoping there was a better, more thorough explanation from Stewart beyond the 'battle between capitalism & communism.' Such as, something along the lines of "police up your ass constantly when in public" or anything. But its left up to the listener to figure out.
Heres the whole segment. If you want, you can rewind it to some lame personal attacks on Carlson before the same point the twitter video starts at. It has something retarded looking after the point the twitter video ended that I didn't watch.
It would be true if we were talking about something like Singapore, where corporal punishment is basically the norm in even the smallest of cases.
That's not what's happening here. Crime is made a moral imperative by the government, and the people are conditioned to accept their own murders. We don't want to die like dogs. We don't want to die like the way you let your friends and family die. Stay away from us.
lol - that’s just as stupid a take as Tuckers. Public decency and clean and safe subways are not “the price of freedom” but the lack of common decency by our supposed populace plus unenforced and/or blocked laws prohibiting uncivilized behavior.
Its why you have people on the Vegas strip setting up booths or screeching like a banshee thinking they’re singing and huckstering pennys because “muh public sidewalk freedums!” According to the ACLU and Jon nimby Stewart here.
I’ve got photos of my grandparents dressing up in suits and a dress to go fly in an airport not 50 years ago and now you’ve got homeless and illegal immigrants camping out. Is that “the price of liberty” Jon? Or is that because Democrats have let government and society fester for “progressive” causes. Does this look “progressive” to you?
I think Tucker would say of your airplane anecdote, "why should air travel becoming cheaper and more accessible have necessarily resulted in a decline in service? Shouldn't we have been able to make it cheaper while maintaining (and expecting) the same level of service as was available in the past?"
Yeah I feel like people who act Tucker was being stupid in any capacity weren't paying attention. He maybe had one or two daft points about the shopping trolleys and things like that but generally his point was sound.
It's people like Jon Stewart doing what they do and taking someone out of context when they try and have a bit of nuance but almost everybody is doing that these days and it pisses me off. The reason I rant about Jon Stewart in particular is because he fucking crusaded against that back when Bush was in power now he's completely flipped the script.
The good news is, nobody watches Fox News anymore, so he can't use that old hat and I suspect Jon Stewart is way more out of touch with what's been happening to television and his format isn't going to fly online and he's going to absolutely tank as people realise how petty he's gotten and he is not the centrist crusader he paints himself out to be. It does actually make me feel sorry for people he's gone after because for all I know I've potentially fallen for a lot of shit back in the day with the way they always deceptively show this stuff to their own audiences and I'm not above admitting that. I certainly wouldn't have the breadth of views and perspectives I have now had I gone brainless and joined the normie crowd watching late night shows constantly.
I think what the actual issue is that the average Russian annual income is like 4x less than the average US income, so the prices aren’t gonna be the same regardless
This is true, but people really need to look at the maths on other stuff aside from food and it makes me hate my own country so much. Callum of the lotus eaters has his own channel where he visits Russia. Their gas among other things is cheap as fuck, you can do this sort of maths as well in European countries depending on where you go if it's not a silly overpriced tourist hotspot some of it was surprising for me.
I also hated how Poland seems to allegedly have this rule around car insurance purely being based around the value of the car, how quaint. Which means the car insurance companies can't jack up the prices to the ridiculous degrees I see in my own country.
I wasn’t talking about Tuckers shopping trip - I got what he was saying there in reference to how the people have food and it’s plentiful so our sanctions and war aren’t doing squat.
I was talking about his Moscow subway video and his “why can’t we have nice things?” take.
You think people dressed nice merely because air travel was expensive or that only rich people dressed nice? Yeah, no. It’s a break down in civility and what’s expected of the people.
One reason they can have ornate subways in Russia is because anyone who dissents gets disappeared and that’s what Jon Stewart is saying here - you have to allow vandalism for freedom. But both those points are extreme takes. Ultimately the reason is that you have a proud people who care about their united history and any attack on public property is an attack on themselves and this goes back to my point about how people dress in public.
Why do you have to allow vandalism for "freedom"? Why can't you just harshly punish vandals while leaving normal people who don't vandalize alone?
And if that is "freedom", doesn't that also include the freedom to stop vandals? But when people exercise that freedom they get "disappeared" (see David Penny as the most recent example).
And of course if you vandalize the "wrong" thing (like that Church of Satan statue, or the people who do burnouts on the rainbow crosswalks) you get prosecuted too, so you don't really have the freedom to vandalize either. You just have the "freedom" to vandalize whatever the State doesn't mind you vandalizing, which isn't really "freedom" but pretty much the same as it is in any "dictatorial" regime.
Right - that’s why I said Stewart’s take is stupid.
But there’s a deeper point here. While it’s true that fear of punishment is one reason people obey laws, the reality is that people honor the laws as part of being in a civil society along with shared experiences and a sense of community.
That’s why, for the longest time, we could have large stores filled with goods out in the open and shoplifting was unheard of.
Nowadays the left has trashed the culture so much that stores are not only locking things up but abandoning whole cities, partially because of lack of law enforcement but because we have an entire culture of sloth and entitlement.
Something poetic about the man who made his career off of mocking George "they hate us for our freedoms" W. Bush using the same trope 20+ years later.
That was such a damn snake-like move from him that I am in the awe of the man. Did you notice that even his own audience didn't even cheer and laugh at most of his monologue like they used to? Jon Stewart used to be genuinely funny, I watched him on the regular, but now he is very much spewing WEF talking points and this appears to be the best he can come up with to justify the bullshit happening with the mass migration right now.

I do very much believe that Jon Stewart is a mercenary rather than an activist though, WEF brought back one of the old boys to get late night shows back on track.
the real red pill is that he was always spewing wef talking points.
There's definitely a lot less whoop-ing and hollering in the studio than you'd have heard back in 2004...
He already has done that before on his earlier shows.
That's one of the bigger red pills, he was always like this.
The thing is I really did watch him back in the day and he had some pretty milque toast takes most of the time. He kept it hidden well I can tell you being someone who followed him his rhetoric has changed big time but what is clear to me he's following the money.
Even worse that W wasn't entirely wrong about it.
Nah he was defintely wrong. They (Islamists) hate us because we're Zionist puppets. Nothing else.
They hate us because we aren't Islamists. The Zionist puppetry doesn't help.
Yes, I know there are a smattering of places where Muslims don't exterminate everyone else. Those are the exceptions, and they will also be exterminated as soon as they don't have the oil wealth to protect themselves because they're massively outnumbered by the hordes of savages.
They are explicitly ordered to remain amicable outside the Islamic State and abide by the laws of the land they are in when they are in the minority.
The moment that flips, all hell breaks lose.
When you're gone, only Muslims will remain, and they will tell you that Islam has only ever expanded through peace... at least if you are a non-Muslim. But, it's not really up for a debate about what happened, since it's in all of their own sources
Tell me you've never spoken to an Islamist without ever telling me you've never spoken to an Islamist.
They hate you because you are Kufar.
Your daughters deserve to be raped, because the rape of your daughters is a corrective rape. They did you a favor, because you are a Kufar.
An opinion poisoned by propaganda. Sad
It's not propaganda when they are literally saying this.
engage in taqiyya elsewhere
Oy Vey!
He was right and wrong. They do hate us for our freedoms. But they hate us more for the bullshit our intelligence agencies and other slime do in our name. If our only crime was "freedom," they'd (generally) be happy to leave us alone. They've got much bigger issues to deal with, like fighting their fellow Muslims, who are much closer and a more present danger.

Point is, yes, we have massive cultural differences, but that is in no way the root cause of any conflict. The US has done nothing but stick their dick in the hornet nest for decades. That's why they hate us.
In this case the extra words are superfluous.
How topical that Helldivers releases a sequel right as the "muh freedumbs, muh Democracy™" rhetoric makes a comeback.
I look forward to the day when we can all stop pretending that unusable public transit and unlivable cities in general is caused by anything other than a failure to hold blacks accountable for anti-social behavior
That's a huge part of it, but I think the larger issue is a plain inability to say "just because your life sucks doesn't mean you get to do drugs in the park/park your piece of shit RV on the street/camp in the street/harass people on the street.
Most of the bums who do that shit in Seattle aren't black, though of course the black ones are granted even greater license to behave poorly.
Blacks being given carte blanche sort of opens the door for everyone else.
One of the Jewish vaudeville actors who did blackface back in the early 20th century said the “carefree” lifestyle of the black man was what he aspired to. That same hedonistic mindset was of course found in Hollywood for decades, and infiltrated every major metropolitan area under the guise of “culture”.

So death to anyone who ends up homeless for any reason?
We used to have mental asyums for people too broken to care for themselves.
That should be for broken Whites. Non-Whites should be deported.
-- Murray Rothbard
The typical NPC really does think that being a racist is worse than shitting in the street.
Now how would that slogan go better brown than white? xD
It's not even just not holding blacks accountable for anti-social behavior, the woke state has gone further in actually preventing anyone from holding blacks accountable.

It's not just blacks. Also women, illegal migrants and any other "oppressed group" feminists keep saying the white man is keeping down.
I grow tired of this detestable man being used as an example of anything but the completely out of touch professional class hack he is.
He is a living, breathing example of everything wrong with the culture today.
There are literally not enough words in the English language to describe how much I detest Jon Leibowitz.
I got front-row seats to how his style of "debate" poisoned my generation. And not just regarding politics: it even at times degraded my professional discussions.
My favorite is "Do better!"
Do what better, and how exactly? What are the parameters? What is the baseline and what is an attainable goal? What is the tangible measurement of improvement?
Let’s be real “do better” actually means “do what I want.” We just didn’t realize that is what he was saying.
Leibowitz‘s return will not be the saving move the uniparty thinks it will be. His slimeball tricks worked great when the right thought the left were good people with bad ideas. Now that the mask has slipped that dog won’t hunt.
Gee, how convenient that the price of freedom is dangerous, crime-riddled public transportation that a wealthy celebrity like you, Mr. Leibowitz, never has to use. And the same time, you demand all the filthy plebs use said dangerous, crime-riddled public transportation instead of personal automobiles so that "we" can all cut down on our carbon emission.
Yeah, FUCK. YOU. YOU RICH. ENTITLED. PIECE. OF. SHIT.
Oh well, guess I don't want """freedom""" anymore. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Even the normies are going to start thinking this when things get bad enough, freedom will be regarded as a luxury belief thanks to mass migration.

~Benito Mussolini
i want a solution that isn't shit leftism.
I really am just waiting for Muslim caliphates in the UK to be declared and it will probably happen if Labour don't denounce Israel.
Defintely not his definition of it
This might just be a lasting meme. Slap "the price of freedom" on anything. Riots? Poop in the streets? Woman pushed in front of a subway car? That's just the price of freedom, baby.
"Terrorism is part and parcel to living in a big city"
Except for gun deaths. Then we have the “freedom to not be killed by a gun.”
"If it saves even one life."
No thanks.
"I HOPE YOU FUCKING DIE!"
The price of freedom is that we reign death elsewhere so it never gets here.
The cost of infrastructure, and the loss of it, is because we've been told for decades to get a degree in a useless treadmill college instead of going and taking things like structural engineering and other blue collar jobs.
There are places that will pay for your house, pay you to live there and pay for the schooling if you learn a trade that is desperately needed.
And they still can't find enough people to do it.
Japan isn't free?
"Fascist": A vote for me is a vote for better infrastructure.
communist: vote me or u bad
If, in exchange for being under the perpetual thumb of a "brutal dictator," I get an objectively better quality of life for myself and my family on the condition I don't speak out against "brutal dictator" then sign me up, because the way I see it right now is that I'm already in a brutal dictatorship ruled by people that want me dead, only here my groceries are almost prohibitively expensive and there's shit all over the street.
The freedom to get stabbed by a darkie for accidentally making eye contact?
Japan has perfectly safe subways.
It’s not democracy that destroys subways.
There is a reason Israel doesn’t allow in any immigration.
PART AND PARCEL
This is awful and disappointing. Jon Stewart is a known hack and propagandist, but his propaganda used to at least be on a better level. This is just lazy and weak. Shame on you, Jon. Double shame, in fact; one for the propaganda, two for doing it so poorly.
jon used to be funny once upon a time, but he outed himself a few years ago as just another JIDF shill who openly hates white people.
people keep saying he was funny, but maybe people were just easily impressed college students back then
there are some that are genuinely funny, timelessly so.
then there are some where we thought they were funny then, and like you point out, now we know better from life experience.

It's a country where people will drive across an area that most places in the world would be several countries and it wouldn't be that much of a big deal. That means people are less caring about public transport so it's easier to scim some of the funds meant to upgrade transportation to private slush funds.
The only places worse for public transport than the US is places like the UK where literal beaurocracy and extremely poor planning stops ANY improvement being met on time and in some cases to quality. I think they've given up on that HS2 line they've been waffling over for over a decade...
No amount of money will solve black people ruining public spaces. It’s not an issue of funding.
I'd say it's both a population with a destructive mentality AND constant embezzlement by corrupt politicians voted in by said destructive population because they give them free gibs.
It's a constant cycle of shit feeding each other till the urban centre dies.
This is one of the constant copes.
Yes, america is designed around cars, because you fucking need them. You can drive for 12 hours and still be in texas. Public transportation is shit unless your entire population is crammed in major cities and countries about the size of states.
As an American I'm not keen on giving up my elbow room.
Pretty much, it's MUCH too expensive and not worth it to build trains everywhere given the size of America. You're better off with trains focused on industrial use unless urban only and airports everywhere else.
And both of those are still secondary to cars and even trucks.
California, despite bragging about being the 5th largest economy in the world, can't get a fucking high-speed rail built without going grossly overbudget.
Meanwhile, Taiwan, a Chinese rump state on an island with minimal resources, managed to get one built.
The one US state where public transportation might make sense is also a South America-tier corrupt shithole.
Going on California public transit as a white man is basically suicide.
Honestly I'm not sure how viable high speed rail is that close to a fault line anyway. The tolerances on the track quality aren't that big so it could be that the whole line is constantly out of commission for inspection/repair after every minor quake.
Thanks to Japanese excellence, the tech for earthquake-resistant buildings and infrastructure is within reach of a functional, developped society.
It is reasonable to build high speed trains regionally. There's absolutely no reason there shouldn't be a bullet train between Los Angeles and San Diego or New York City and Boston, other than communists running the local governments and refusing to lock up the people who make public transportation unusable.
The behavior of the demographics of those cities are reason enough.
Supposedly studies indicate the train fare would be more expensive than local airfare.
Don't blame this on the car. Ultra-high-density cities are the enemy, and cars help prevent them. The dedication to building hive cities is the problem.
Oh I'm not saying it's a bad thing that America is car centric, I'm just outlining why, like all things in the real world that the leftist ignore in their fantasy delusions, it's contextual if public transport is an effective solution to the area and how best to utilise it.
I keep noticing this and it's clear the government is as well which is why the elites are trying to come up with ways to discourage people from driving and their main way is make it too fucking expensive and you can't convince me there isn't a conspiracy going on with that.
Car insurance premiums in the UK are a joke and it's getting so bad that even the normies are noticing it and complaining. A lot of them are 'shocked' at some of the quotes they've been getting and the insurance companies try to sneakily blame inflation but the reality is especially here we're forced to pay for car insurance and there are limits on everything. I'm generally a free market guy and this isn't a free market. They want to price people off the roads. I've been doing for maths and even the most basic vehicles ever it's slowly starting to hit the 1000's even for guys like me who have been driving for years and I'm in my 30's now. It's not a fucking ferrari I'm trying to get either, it's a Citroen C1 and other similar hatchbacks.
The problem is and I can see it all happening in real time the elites don't understand that boomers won't be able to drive the heavy vehicles especially forever and that's going to hit western infrastructure so fucking hard. They think they can replace it all with migrants, but likely more of them are illegal than western governments are willing to admit, so they can't get licenses and you certainly aren't going to get employers willing to take on the risk in the potential event they'll go truck of peace for no damn reason and try to ram a ton of people.
This leaves the younger generations who have been royally fucked to the point they could barely own a 50cc scooter if they're lucky. The responses they get from out of touch and vindictive boomers as well take the piss where they go with the "Young drivers wanting sports cars and tearing around the suburbs" stereotype. Young generations aren't even passing driving tests anymore so where do that leave us? Much of the date that car insurance companies have aren't even relevant and frankly any of the 'young' drivers especially if they're migrants doing that kind of shit are likely illegal to begin with because I see the fuckers around in Bradford and know exactly who they are.
The whole thing is probably going to collapse in on itself within 10 years and the migrants will mysteriously self-deport when the government money dries up and that's a genuine prediction from me. Regardless of whether Trump wins the presidency or not. This is the collapse that I'm predicting, it will be one of infrastructure not a food crisis.
It's such a piss take as well looking at it from an outsider perspective because a lot of EU countries especially the likes of Poland and Hungary apparently have much more reasonable car insurance costs and rules. Easily the biggest piss take of this whole situation is one of utter denial and the usual NPCs responses of people trying to justify the corporate decision not realising the impact this is all going to have on the economy.
insurance is a scam.
It's worse than a scam, it's a scam the government forces you to pay extortionate amounts of money for to even do certain things or exist in the country. Since car insurance is almost legally required in most countries the insurance companies know they can charge whatever they like even if it's completely retarded.
That's crazy cuz there are places in Europe, and especially Japan, that have extremely clean cities and subways.
Japan has an almost supernatural level of personal accountability. Between students cleaning the school daily, to subways and train stations dedicated to employing the elderly to give them work and respect and dignity, or public works dedicated to the beautification and cleanliness of Japans public spaces.. they have issues like any other nation but goddamn am I jealous by of their culture when it comes to things like that. The societal cohesion makes me green with envy.
the level of cleanliness of Tokyo is almost sterile, accepted a 200 page rental apartment ad book as you walked out of station because you kinda felt bad for the worker? well now you get to hold that book all the way to the hotel because there are no public trash cans anywhere, are you going to be the litter bug like some sort of barbaric gaijins?
The freedom of blacks and browns to flood the country.
The freedom of violent criminals to roam the streets
The freedom of beggars to sit on the floor in the subway
The freedom of mentally-ill and drug addicts to roam the streets bothering people and shitting in public.
What's the meme again : Liberals are so open-minded their brain fell out.
I was hoping there was a better, more thorough explanation from Stewart beyond the 'battle between capitalism & communism.' Such as, something along the lines of "police up your ass constantly when in public" or anything. But its left up to the listener to figure out.
Heres the whole segment. If you want, you can rewind it to some lame personal attacks on Carlson before the same point the twitter video starts at. It has something retarded looking after the point the twitter video ended that I didn't watch.

He said Russia was the enemy during WWII. No they weren’t, bruh, they were our allies.
the only enemies we had were in government.
freedom for who? lol. freedom for pedos and groomers? rofl
It would be true if we were talking about something like Singapore, where corporal punishment is basically the norm in even the smallest of cases.
That's not what's happening here. Crime is made a moral imperative by the government, and the people are conditioned to accept their own murders. We don't want to die like dogs. We don't want to die like the way you let your friends and family die. Stay away from us.
lol - that’s just as stupid a take as Tuckers. Public decency and clean and safe subways are not “the price of freedom” but the lack of common decency by our supposed populace plus unenforced and/or blocked laws prohibiting uncivilized behavior.
Its why you have people on the Vegas strip setting up booths or screeching like a banshee thinking they’re singing and huckstering pennys because “muh public sidewalk freedums!” According to the ACLU and Jon nimby Stewart here.
I’ve got photos of my grandparents dressing up in suits and a dress to go fly in an airport not 50 years ago and now you’ve got homeless and illegal immigrants camping out. Is that “the price of liberty” Jon? Or is that because Democrats have let government and society fester for “progressive” causes. Does this look “progressive” to you?
What was stupid about Tucker's take?
I think Tucker would say of your airplane anecdote, "why should air travel becoming cheaper and more accessible have necessarily resulted in a decline in service? Shouldn't we have been able to make it cheaper while maintaining (and expecting) the same level of service as was available in the past?"
Yeah I feel like people who act Tucker was being stupid in any capacity weren't paying attention. He maybe had one or two daft points about the shopping trolleys and things like that but generally his point was sound.
It's people like Jon Stewart doing what they do and taking someone out of context when they try and have a bit of nuance but almost everybody is doing that these days and it pisses me off. The reason I rant about Jon Stewart in particular is because he fucking crusaded against that back when Bush was in power now he's completely flipped the script.
The good news is, nobody watches Fox News anymore, so he can't use that old hat and I suspect Jon Stewart is way more out of touch with what's been happening to television and his format isn't going to fly online and he's going to absolutely tank as people realise how petty he's gotten and he is not the centrist crusader he paints himself out to be. It does actually make me feel sorry for people he's gone after because for all I know I've potentially fallen for a lot of shit back in the day with the way they always deceptively show this stuff to their own audiences and I'm not above admitting that. I certainly wouldn't have the breadth of views and perspectives I have now had I gone brainless and joined the normie crowd watching late night shows constantly.
I think what the actual issue is that the average Russian annual income is like 4x less than the average US income, so the prices aren’t gonna be the same regardless
This is true, but people really need to look at the maths on other stuff aside from food and it makes me hate my own country so much. Callum of the lotus eaters has his own channel where he visits Russia. Their gas among other things is cheap as fuck, you can do this sort of maths as well in European countries depending on where you go if it's not a silly overpriced tourist hotspot some of it was surprising for me.
I also hated how Poland seems to allegedly have this rule around car insurance purely being based around the value of the car, how quaint. Which means the car insurance companies can't jack up the prices to the ridiculous degrees I see in my own country.
I wasn’t talking about Tuckers shopping trip - I got what he was saying there in reference to how the people have food and it’s plentiful so our sanctions and war aren’t doing squat.
I was talking about his Moscow subway video and his “why can’t we have nice things?” take.
You think people dressed nice merely because air travel was expensive or that only rich people dressed nice? Yeah, no. It’s a break down in civility and what’s expected of the people.
One reason they can have ornate subways in Russia is because anyone who dissents gets disappeared and that’s what Jon Stewart is saying here - you have to allow vandalism for freedom. But both those points are extreme takes. Ultimately the reason is that you have a proud people who care about their united history and any attack on public property is an attack on themselves and this goes back to my point about how people dress in public.
Why do you have to allow vandalism for "freedom"? Why can't you just harshly punish vandals while leaving normal people who don't vandalize alone?
And if that is "freedom", doesn't that also include the freedom to stop vandals? But when people exercise that freedom they get "disappeared" (see David Penny as the most recent example).
And of course if you vandalize the "wrong" thing (like that Church of Satan statue, or the people who do burnouts on the rainbow crosswalks) you get prosecuted too, so you don't really have the freedom to vandalize either. You just have the "freedom" to vandalize whatever the State doesn't mind you vandalizing, which isn't really "freedom" but pretty much the same as it is in any "dictatorial" regime.
Right - that’s why I said Stewart’s take is stupid.
But there’s a deeper point here. While it’s true that fear of punishment is one reason people obey laws, the reality is that people honor the laws as part of being in a civil society along with shared experiences and a sense of community.
That’s why, for the longest time, we could have large stores filled with goods out in the open and shoplifting was unheard of.
Nowadays the left has trashed the culture so much that stores are not only locking things up but abandoning whole cities, partially because of lack of law enforcement but because we have an entire culture of sloth and entitlement.
Such a Jew
The price of freedom is getting stabbed by a black homeless dude and dying face down in a pile of shit on a filthy subway train.
Yeah. . .
