But you don’t actually live in either of those places, do you? In all honestly, would you move there? Probably not. Even New Yorkers hate New York City, especially now. People are moving into rural areas in droves because of the ridiculous high cost of living, violent atmosphere, and totalitarian blue policies that they have to endure in the city.

So what’s your beacon of truth? CNN? MSNBC? BuzzFeed? The Mary Sue?

Well, neither, but years ago my family traveled to Washington D.C for vacation and we decided to ride in the Metro. It was jam-packed in the train and some homeless idiot tried to bring his bike in with him, even though there was a sign that clearly said “No Bikes Allowed”. Nobody would move to let him in, nor would they say anything to him. Finally my Southern Dad who never took bs from anybody told him that what he was doing was wrong, and he was the only one in the whole crowd who spoke up. Finally the guy managed to squeeze in with his bike and during the whole ride he yelled incoherently in my Dad’s face. I remember him saying that he spent the night in the train. That was my first taste of city life.

My point? In the city, you’re either a compliant, silent sheep or a you’re a lawless thug, and if you do have a noble bone in your body and decide to be the hero, you get punished for it. That’s why people will just stand by and watch as someone gets r*ped in the subway rather than help them, and why they’ll let thieves just walk out of a store with the stolen items in their hands. The shoplifting situation in Chicago is so bad that if you need to buy a small jar of Vaseline at Walgreens, it’s locked up behind glass and you need an employee to come open it with a key. Where I live, we only do that for valuable vintage items at flea markets.

Um, the largest ethnic groups in both Chicago and New York are white.

Because right now, you're not credible at all.

You cited NBC. That discredits you already
