Does /u/exgalactic even live in NYC?

The post history from this user is almost elusively inflammatory news articles from PoliticsPeopleTwitter, TeacherReality, GradSchool,massachusetts, Florida etc.

Why is brigading this sub with this garbage allowed?

Lol how is this brigading? Is the post about the city? Is it untrue?

Yeah even if the user is just running around posting inflammatory shit who cares? This is still a NYC article and can be discussed as such by us.

Not to mention, when this sub is left up to it's own devices- we aren't even allowed to discuss the gubernatorial debate lol. All threads about it were nuked.

This is the definition of sticking your head in the sand.

Willful ignorance is in abundance so i'll bite. People like OP ONLY post news articles from the Post or Daily news that have a negative and very prominent conservative bias. One intention is to paint the city like some sort of dystopian hellscacpe when in fact people that actually live and/or spend time here know that isn't true.

>yeah even if the user is just running around posting inflammatory shit who cares?

I care. the people that live here should care. This is not representative of our city or indicative of the situation on the ground. Its blatant fear mongering and detracts from reasonable discussion about people who have a vetted interest in sustainable long term improvement and quality of this city. I am sure I don't speak alone when I say I don't want you weirdos adding input JuSt FoR DeBaTE.

What?? People who live here absolutely care about this stuff.

Just because you and maybe your circle don't, stop speaking for the other 9 million people.

What are you even saying? The only news allowed is what you feel is "representative of what's happening on the ground".

Anythign remotely conservative already gets erased on here. We aren't even allowed to discuss the debate. How much more oversight do you want?

my guy. The ratio of NY Post/Daily News/crime articles to regular posts on this sub is disproportionately in favor the former and a denial of that is being willfully ignorant. You can scream at the sky all you want but in THIS space the ad naseum posts are doing the most.

Shouldn't the city be able to handle being a Sanctuary City on its own?
