Or go here anytime a post shows up about crime in San Francisco.

In r/bayarea there was a poster that posted nothing but crime posts multiple times a day. If anyone pointed it out they’d be heavily downvoted within minutes. There are groups dedicated to this in many city subreddits.

There seems to be enough of this going on here as well so I expect this will get downvoted accordingly.

Which sides were the shills in that story? Was it the alt-right "thah! This is what ya get without the thin blue line" or the fixie riding tankies saying "everything is perfect, I've never even heard of crime here before, and the whole place smells like fresh clean ocean breeze!"

At least in the NYC subreddit, we have a consistent group of a few dozen people who blame Alvin Bragg for every single thing that happens in the city. Never mind the fact that he’s only the Manhattan DA; you’ll see the same handles blame him for random crimes that happen in other boroughs.

Bragg is an easy target, because he's clearly there to advance his career, and gets behind podiums a lot. He likes the attention.

Okay, but that doesn’t really change what I’ve said: it simply doesn’t make sense to blame the Manhattan DA for crime in other boroughs. It’s like blaming the mayor of LA for crime in Peoria.

I see what you did there with step 2.

The “everything is perfect” crowd isn’t organizing this way.

They dont need to organize. The government hides the crime statistics and the politicians make many crimes legal.

If they don’t need to organize why are they?

Crime in San Francisco is tied with “anything involving unions” as the absolute funniest topics on this website.

There are so many randos that will inexplicably pop into the comments with some variation of “Chesa Boudin invented and mandated crime. He made not breaking the law illegal and if you are caught without fentanyl he will use public money to hire gang members to kidnap your dog. His curse is an eldritch terror that will last far beyond his corporeal expiration.”

and

“My opinion on unionization is that I will happily accept a position at Pinkerton. There are only two groups of people: humans (bosses) and Fungible Productivity Units that must rightfully be constantly reminded of their lack of value.”

This is why https://www.reddit.com/r/anime_titties is the real news and politics reddit forum.

This is the first I’ve heard of that subreddit, and after ten minutes of browsing comments I think it’s my new favorite.

There is a lot of right-wing whataboutism going on in this sub.

/r/worldnews is also good for your daily dose of whataboutism. Especially if the story concerns China.
