Comments on: Are Subprime Cities On Their Way To Becoming America’s Very Own Gulag Archipelago?

This isn’t an article, its an irritatingly pretentious blog of a boring anecdote. The beginnings of a gulag archipelago, really? Or is it just the tinny, pointless whining of a jewish ‘white boy’ posing as some kind of righteous self-hating white underground journalist.

You come off as a completely degenerate slimeball. If you are going to foam at the mouth with hate at big bad whitey you might as well do it honestly and not write as if you are white yourself.

Do you eat scorpions, Mr. Levine? If not, why not? Does your nose bleed around noon on some days? Are the tacos you eat for 99 cents gritty like there was sand in them? Did the person who sold them to you wash his hands after using the bathroom just before you drove up to the window of the drive-thru? It’s just these sorts of question that need to be answered in any article about life in the devils sandbox. At least, I need to know. Don’t you?

Despite Yasha’s tentative tone on this topic, the relocation of Black people to places like Victorville is indeed part of an ongoing trend in the USA. 2005 was the first year since the Civil War that New York City’s Black population decreased, and look what has happened to the Black population of New Orleans!

Yasha’s comparison to Stalin’s gulags is more a tip of the hat to the prevailing foul winds of anticommunism than an apt comparison, however. For one thing, the mission of the gulags was not genocide, but the defense of a bureaucracy which had betrayed the revolutionary workers whom it claimed to represent. Though I am not a prison expert, I would guess that if Yasha paid a visit to Pelican Bay or one of California’s other notorious prison hell holes, he might well find that the brutality of the gulags paled in comparison.

@teh football gambler

Let me just quote your idiotic, rambling, irrational diatribe in its full dumb glory:

“Hey, anyone who thinks prosperity in Northern Italy has anything to do with “economic democracy based on cooperation” is utterly clueless about Northern Italy. If you’d been there you’d know that the social welfare rhetoric masks a reality of mass tax evasion and noncompliance with every law and rule they have, enabled by a highly efficient corruption market, which is probably cheaper overall than the “honest” US tax and political bribe system.”

Okay now cite your sources, and it can’t be Randian braying or the dumb fascist apologism of Friedman.

Guess ya can’t.

@56: your lab test is ready for pickup. You might just go for a mix of C8H17N and Everclear (shaken, not stirred). Jesus loves you. Don Black loves you. The ADL loves you, ёбаная сука.

Yasha Levine making a story about how much better it is when a town gets less White, more Black. Because Whites are saggy and racist, while Black women are young and beautiful and Blacks are cool. As proof that he is right, Yasha presents himself as White, showing he wouldn’t talk crap about other Whites unless it was true. Except you aren’t White, are you, Yasha? You are a Jew. “I couldn’t be happier,” you write about a town dominated by Blacks. Of course you couldn’t. You don’t care that Blacks, 12 percent of the population, commit 50 percent of murders in the U.S., and more than 90 percent of interracial rapes. It all serves to shock and demoralize Whites in your book. Not just an America, but a West where everyone is a minority like you Jews, that’s the goal, am I right, Yasha?

You have the fat fuck hillbillies wrong pal.
Most of them have been on some kind of welfare for 2 or 3 generations. The overwhelming majority love Obama and his nazi/Brave New World healthcare plan.
They’re too slovenly, fat and stupid to read it and see how it would screw them. Evidently you are too.

I dont think downtown lofts displaced anyone, they were just old 5-10 storey buildings that were once carpet stores, or furniture stores, etc., and it’s walking distance of Hope St. Every city in the USA did something similar when banks were still lending. It’s a huge stretch to say the whole subprime scam was a trick to get people out of Central LA, so the wealthy could move in. Such a concept is way out there in never-never land

Some investment banking people who work downtown are living downtown, sure – otherwise it’s a HIGHLY undesireable idea, dreadful location

Hmm. All the commenters are right (in their own way, in their own corner) but if Yashnik listened to ‘em, why hell, there’d be no story! And ain’t that why we come here?

I understand that the Tongva will never be recognized by the federal government as a legitimate indigenous tribe because if were ever recognized as such the Tongva would be able to lay historic claim to Beverly Hills, and demand enough reservation land to equal the value of Rodeo drive, etc… At least that was they way an old Tongva elder explained it to me once. Who knows, we were pretty drunk at the time. And good those were times, while I was doing my part to help with the gentrification process in the Oakwood area of Venice beach.

“…segregation by exile to Buttfuckville. It is the redistribution of prime inner-city real estate back to the wealthy”

You must be from back East, the whole concept of “prime inner-city real estate” could never apply to LA county. Fraud, bait-and-switch — yes, these are long-established traditions in California. However suggesting that the goal is to grab inner-city real estate, lol…. dubious assertion.

The author is neurotic about black folks, and it’s pathetic to read. Note to the author: when your black friends care less about supposed “oppression by the man,” than YOU… then you MIGHT be neurotic!
Stop trying to shore up your lack of a sense of personal identity, and self-esteem, by casting yourself as the “I’m not worthy” protector of blacks. It’s cliche, and you’re pathetic, which I’m sure your black friends would tell you, if they had the heart.
For christssake, quite bothering blacks people with your ever growing sense of worthlessness, and lack of purpose. They have enough problems without your “help.”
