Of course we do, we’re all reasonable people here.

    I’m all for sanctioning authoritarian oligarchies, but unfortunately for you, that is the Trump administration.

    US cabinet average wealth by far the highest in US history? Oligopoly

    Armed masked men are abducting US citizens into unmarked vans? Authoritarian

    NYC has neither of those things. Nice try though?

    Life was better when people like you were just known as village idiots and we could chuck produce at you whenever you spoke so you knew your opinions were comically stupid

      Are you nuts? I’m not going to spend my day explaining the history of the NYPD to you because you missed an obvious joke. There are absolutely ICE raids taking place in NYC. Local police has to cooperate with higher level law enforfement. America has been fascist for generations since well before it killed and poisoned all the civilians in Vietnam, passed the Patriot Act, and tortured kids at black sites in Chicago during the Obama years. Get real

        In order:

        1.No

        1. To be a joke it would have to be funny

        2. yes because federal agents can operate locally anywhere, which is obvious to anyone but the village idiot

        3. As you said, they “have to” cooperate, which kind of goes against your point of them being willing

        4. America absolutely has been facist for generations, but more so in republican administrations (gauntenmo and patriot act under bush, Nixon shooting protestors, and now)

        5. black sites were Chicago PD operated, Obama had nothing to do with them.

        6. Put your dunce cap back on and go sit in the corner

            Lol, not engaging with any of the specific counterpoints I made because you know your wrong, and instead using a throwaway line to hide your own incompetence?

            Yea, that’s about all I expected, because that’s all your good for

              You do realize you’re still getting mad at a joke, right? I’m not going to help you come to terms with the fact that the NYPD is perfectly happy to help ICE do raids, and this predates the current republican presidency. Trump is a pretty wacky dude and I hope you guys don’t end up with something worse, and more competent!

    authoritarian oligarchic rogue municipality

    Do… Do you even know anything about NYC? Without googling, how much is subway fare?

    Or better yet, answer me this: you see an empty subway car pulling in. It’s 6pm on a Wednesday, the other cars have people in them. Do you get on?

        It’s more like the GitHub of Spotify, or the Grammarly of Xbox Live, or the BMW of Pepsi Max, or the South Korea of pineapples, etc.
