I watched the video archive. They said my letter was great, and that they learned a new word, "Aporophobia". They also agreed that much of the town's backlash comments were tantamount to "Aporophobia" and that they have some serious "reeducating" they have to do with these citizens.

The town is pretty woke, but it felt good to hear these people fully agree with my take on low-income housing. Right before they read my letter, they had an email from some oldhead in town complaining about how the poor are all criminals. What is it about Chuds that compels them to show up at every meeting and be the dumbest, loudest person in the room?

Because CHUDs have nothing else on their lives. Their adult kids hate them, and basically only come around for holidays. They aren't allowed at the Golf Course, due to an incident involving a golf Cart, a Caddy and seval thousand dollars in landscaping damage.

They have nothing to do except sit around and watch TV, flipping between one of twenty different copaghandha shows or Fox News.

The only place they can still be a nuisance, and not get kicked out for being so, is at public meetings.

i have nothing in my life and I don't go to any civic functions. have these dorks tried being shut-ins waiting to die?

Let's embrace going to civic functions and being a nuisance. It's what Mao would have wanted.

Kinda the problem with full speech rights but a profound lack of democracy... No real process...

If I wasn't so busy all the time, I'd make more of an effort to show up and be the loudest and second-dumbest person in the room.

It's why political parties and controlling the franchise are so important. If someone is being a reactionary dipshit you can kick them out of the party anf rescind their voting rights and now they can't fuck things up anymore. Just don't lose control of the party.

One of these chuds is a debate lord house flipper too. Several weeks ago, he got up for public comment and said, "Low-income housing brings crime!" The next week, they read a submitted comment that basically said, "No it doesn't, and you are wrong." The week after that, he came back for public comment and literally said, "That letter was nice and all, but you were using an Appeal to Emotion Fallacy, and it doesn't change the fact that I'm right."

The two kind of people who think its important to go to meetings are rapidly burning out radicals and the most cruel, thoughtless, reactionary, arrogant, dunng-kruger burdened scum on the planet.
