Based on what? I'm Jewish and used to live in Remington with a menorah in the window during Hanukkah and a Mezuzah on my door. Never once encountered any Anti-Semitism there or in Hampden.
Then again, it wasn't until 2017 that I thought I had to deal with actual Nazis in any meaningful way. But most of that wasn't in Baltimore.

Was Anti-Semitism really that prevalent back then?
I'd buy the 50's. Maybe the 60's. But the 90's?

Except that's DEFINITELY not my perception. I don't care if your Xmas involves "child son of God but also not" or "magic home invasion mailman in red"... it's not my holiday and you can't go anywhere without incessant holiday music playing... and it's always the same goddamn songs over and over.
It's always the goyim who tell me to "be merry" as if the Christmas Hegemony doesn't exist. Kinda like how Evangelicals complain how oppressed they are when they're a quarter of the entire population.
Let people be and stop shoving your holidays down the throats of people who don't want it.

Because the holiday season is already insufferable enough as it is without us making a fuss about a minor holiday that's been overblown because of Xmas. While you people are really enjoying the festive birth of your savior while we're celebrating a bargain for 8 fucking days. Not to mention the history of Hanukkah is kinda celebrating religious fundamentalism.
Sorry to be a downer. Happy holidays I guess.

Who said anything about forcing. He made a choice. I'm criticizing the choice.

To openly eschew voting in favor of some cockamamie ideology that is both impractical and contrary to human nature... yes, that's anti-democratic. To be pro-democracy is to encourage voting. I don't see what's hard about this.

So one must agree with every single thing a band says in their lyrics to be a fan? Are you for real?
I made the mistake once of reading Jack's blog and he basically said he doesn't vote. I find that to be an abhorrent view. It's anti-democratic. But he's an "anarchist" (whatever that means) so I decided to just simply find beauty in their music.One needs not be an ideologue to do so.

It's a World Inferno Friendship Society reference.
And LOL I don't worship cars but it happens to be the world we live in. Wasn't my idea. I'd be down for some luxury space utopia in the future but I can't see mass transit working well in Baltimore. They can't even maintain the system they have currently. I can't imagine the boondoggle that would be if they actually built it.
I'm not a worshiper of cars, I'm just not an ideologue.

I can have any opinion I like, thanks. That's how this works. I was just speaking of bad faith arguments and your "I only acknowledge opinions based on an arbitrary litmus test that I set" is a great example

There's a major difference between maintenance and an entirely new project.

Hogan's dislike of Baltimore is well-known but I'm honestly curious as to whether or not it would truly improve life and transit in a city that's been constantly losing residents for decades.
He might have canceled the Red Line in bad faith but without a grander transit system besides the weird patchwork of Metro, light rail and MARC, I'm not sure how it would have made enough of an impact to justify the cost alone. Even public infrastructure projects are supposed to have a return on investment.

You know, as much as I fault the patriarchy for many of the inequities in our society, it's also important to respect people's agency.
If someone wants to dress up in a sexy Halloween costume, let 'em and God Bless. Not my jam and obviously it's not yours either. But that's their choice and I might internally judge a bit but I'm never going to tell someone not to do it if it brings them joy and hurts literally no one.
If you're that concerned by the patriarchy, it doesn't help to tear other women down because they don't subscribe to your interpretation of feminism.

Reply to Building over alley in the city? by kale_cookie_castles
My old house in Pigtown had a garage that was previously used for parking but a commercial space on the other side of the alley erected metal bars to encompass their parking lot at some point. This effectively narrowed the alley and made the garage useless for parking because the angle wasn't enough for any reasonably sized vehcile to turn into (except for "pregnant roller skate" cars like Fiats, SmartCars or Honda Fits)
So it's probably allowed but you're in for a kafkaesque level of bureaucracy in trying to secure the permits. Ask yourself if it's really worth the headache.

Even if Sinclair were right about something, it's not being argued in good faith.
Baltimore is complicated and there are serious problems. But fearmongering doesn't fix them.

As I mentioned in another thread, I never thought I'd have to deal with Nazis again in the modern world but none of that was in Baltimore.
