Yo, you called Kansas City shitty, but that’s kinda unfair to a people who rose to the occasion
nah i’m from the midwest, activism isn’t strong enough to un-shit the place. we need a fuckload of civic political power to bring back street cars and shit to do that.
the tenant union was apart of a quickly constructed “no” campaign, and it succeeded, even tho this neck of the woods is full of sportsball brained libs and straight up nazis. I was really surprised when I saw this headline, I’m also from around here
Seems like there are 4 or 5 hexbearians from the area which is a lot more than I would’ve guessed. Definitely upgraded my opinion of our city a bit. And I didn’t mean to imply it’s a uniquely shitty city, just one that has personally infuriated me quite a few times.
Fair enough, it may be shitty but its our shitty city
Nah, I get it. I’m from one of the small towns originally, we got a lot of shitty people and shitty places around here, but also a lot of good people too and I have a special place in my heart for the big cities. Sending my love comrade, maybe you’ll see the Hexbear sticker on my car one day
yeah i’m not trying to take anything away from them, i just hate living in the region. i’d probably hate most other places too, but i’m deeply familiar with the way it sucks here and if Eisenhower wasn’t dead i’d kill him.
I get that. I always thought I’d move away from the area one day, but where else am I gonna go? This is home and everyone’s home is worth fighting for, no matter how shitty the bosses have made it. Even a small victory is worth some kind of celebration, we shouldn’t give in to defeatism
i feel no special attachment to place due to the accident of where my parents moved to before i was born. I hate the climate and latitude as well, not just the culture and civil planning. This place is nothing but sadness to me. A pit I briefly escaped and then was pushed back into against my will.
Home’s about the friends and memories we made along the way, not some kind of fascist blood and soil essentialism. I hope you find a home either here or somewhere comrade, but mine is definitely here, everyone deserves to have a place to call home even rats who have to live in a dark wet hole like the midwest
They did build a tiny street car, but it’s just a mile long stretch that connects the corporate mega projects to the open container alcohol zone. Hopefully one day it can turn into a useful alternative to owning a car in a city full of empty private parking lots.
