CITIES are the DOWNFALL of every CIVILIZATION

[togmaster]

No more fucking laws! Live wherever you want.

I'm not entirely in disagreement, but I think American's decline goes further than that. There is a cultural rot that is all but irreversible in my opinion. None of our civic institutions can be relied on anymore and no one is stepping up to try and make them right. When the Romans let the barbarians field their armies, direct their economy, and engage their government then it was curtains for them and the greatest empire ever. They basically abdicated their culture and let barbarians replace them, which is what I happening to us now.



Exhibit A. Hispanics and Islamists are reproducing like rabbits and will replace the dominate (I'll say it...mostly white) culture. It would be a peaceful transition if these demographics actually believed in American values and governance, but the reality is they don't.

My neighbor is Hispanic, though likely Second Generation.

He speaks English without a trace of any accent, works very hard, is most definitely not on welfare, and he and his wife have a single child.

He STRONGLY opposes Sanctuary Cities.

Hispanics assimilate very well if they are not coddled.

But no, I do not share the same opinion of Muslims.

Too late Dayton, they have been fleeing the cities for decades because of the very conditions they created. When they come out here to the country, without even realizing it, they try to recreate what they left, on a smaller scale.

Shooting on my friends private property one day, just like I have been doing there for the past 18 years.
Never a problem in all of those years. Well except for the new people that bought a house down the road from our range.
A couple from the city of Buffalo bought a house in farm country and then call the cops when they hear gun shots... FACEPALM.

I'm doing my thing and I hear a vehicle coming down the trail. It's a NYS Trooper, He says that they got a call about gun shots in the area. I'm like yeah, It's probably me or the other guy that you can hear shooting down the road from here.
He tells me that he just got done speaking to the lady that called in the complaint.

Now a DEC Officer also shows up, they both talk to me a little bit, they check out my backstop. The DEC guy compliments me on the backstop. The Trooper tells me that he is going to go back and inform the lady that called in the complaint that no laws are being broken. And that I am shooting in the opposite direction of their house.

The Trooper comes back after he spoke to her and tells me that he told her no laws are being broken, I am shooting in a safe direction and in a safe manner. She told him that "you don't understand" my children are playing in the backyard.
He told me that he informed her that he understands perfectly, It is her that doesn't seem to understand.
And then he made sort of a goofy face at me LOL ... After a little chuckle and have a nice day, he left me to continue shooting
and that was that.

The same woman also tried to create a stink about the manure smell coming from the dairy farms close by.
Fucking City People ... LOL ... Yeah we are supposed to change our way of doing things because of the city people that
"choose to get away from it all" and move out to farm country, and then don't like what is actually in farm country.

Rednecks, Cow Manure, and Guns,,, I'm not sure what city people think they are going to get when they move out into the country. Because they seem to have issues with Rednecks, Cow Manure, and Guns.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she was to run for local politics and to try to change things to closer resemble what she was getting away from in the first place... I know the type.

And that is just how it works Bigfoot. And at the end of the day, you and your friend have your names in two official law enforcement reports. "The Death of a Thousand Cuts" or "The Dissolution of Liberty in The United States of America." Not available in a book store near you.

This is also true of people leaving liberal states. People that move from NY or California to say Texas who want to live in a better place are bringing their liberal values with them. I'm watching the news right now talking about people fleeing California.

Colorado is a perfect example. Used to be Red and now is Purple (on its way to blue) because of the Californians and New Yorkers moving there for greener pastures and then turning those pastures shit brown. Even in Wyoming where my uncle lives (and is as Red as Red can get...at least at the moment) they have Californians moving in and starting to make complaints about gun shots and manure smells from farms. Never ceases to amaze me that you pull up stakes to leave the shithole you came from and then do everything you can to turn your new home into a carbon copy of the shithole you just left.

I am dead serious.

Any archaeologist can tell you, that just prior to utter collapse, every failed civilization experienced its greatest growth of concentrated power in overpopulated cities.

Cambodia, Mayan, Rome, and so many more, fail due to densely populated areas.

CITIES ARE SICK.

People lose all independent thought. Become divorced from nature. Are totally dependent on centralized Government.

I am, at heart, a Libertarian. Things occur for a reason.

Sadly, Libertarian Philosophy also allows people to FAIL. As they have, so often, and will.

I would make a simple, or not so simple, requirement that no area be allowed to house no more than xx number of people per square mile.

Before you condemn me, understand that every Totalitarian Government seeks to CONCENTRATE their population.

Concentrated Populations are simple to control. And, even better, they are easy prey to GROUP-THINK.

They prefer being mindless slaves !

So how would I control Population Density ? I don't know.

I might not like the answer.

But to keep people free, it MUST be done.

For the Record I have not read any of the posts past the first and totally Disagree. It is PEOPLE not the city.

Here's an article on what future cities will look like. Other than perhaps the European example (Copenhagen, Denmark) or the Chinese example (Guiyang) I know I would not at all want to live in any one of them.

The 100 million city: is 21st century urbanisation out of control?

Trump recently used a scatalogical reference to accurately describe these places that really incensed the cloud people. Of course, none of them would ever actually live there...
