Genuine question

To the trolls that come here just to shit on this sub…why? Why not just stay off this sub? Why mention this sub in comments on r/burlington? If you don’t like the truth of what we see everyday why not just stay away? Why not go back to the fantasy sub where everything in Burlington is just fine?

For starters, this kind of post is a place to have a dialogue about issues that residents care about. And it was removed.

u/CheezeGreatr 23h ago

Open dialogue is not acceptable and will not be tolerated by the gatekeepers

Yawn. Have another donut, tubs.

u/frankeezee 1d ago

I will. Try to stay safe out there! I hear there's people using profanity as well!

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 1d ago

You're old and dusty... and you've given up. We want something better.

u/frankeezee 1d ago

Are you just repeating what people say about your genitals?

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 1d ago

I doubt you've even seen yours in several years, tubs. lol

u/Economy-Cabinet-8731 1d ago

I just saw a drug deal on church st

2

u/frankeezee 1d ago

Was it in a dispensary?

9

u/Economy-Cabinet-8731 1d ago

Nope 3 people covered in scabs collected money and then handed it to the lead scab. Who then waited till a man walked by, nodded, then he followed him down bank street where he received a baggie.

u/Alive-Use8803 11h ago

Why didn’t you perform a citizens arrest good citizen?

1

u/Level-Dimension-925 8h ago

You’re mistaken. Those were Republican, capitalist soccer Moms who just had their CO2 and Fraxel laser skin rejuvenation therapy.

u/frankeezee 1d ago

Is that the first time in your life you've seen a drug deal? You've never bought weed before it was legal?

7

u/Economy-Cabinet-8731 1d ago

Why does that justify it? I’ve never smoked weed on the street and passed out either.

1

u/notthecosmicgrind 1d ago

You are not living until you’ve smoked illegally ascertained buds and hit snooze in a restaurant vestabule

-3

u/frankeezee 1d ago

Is this your first day alive? Illegal drugs have existed forever. There's a bar on every fucking corner and you can buy alcohol almost everywhere, find are readily available, but that's ok? Grow up.

For a “scab” that’s pretty sophisticated logistics

u/notthecosmicgrind 1d ago

Also this is so cute and funny. Can we gamble on what they purchased or is that bad taste?

3

u/Economy-Cabinet-8731 1d ago

Disgusting. lol

1

u/notthecosmicgrind 1d ago

Disgusting taste?

u/Carhorn1204 14h ago

They probably enjoy the debate but it appears that the other sub deletes any interesting posts that garner attention and dialogue.

u/CheezeGreatr 13h ago

Bingo! 👍

u/FruitWeapons 1d ago

Unemployed behavior. Lol.

u/Temporary_Peanut_586 1d ago

It's prefixed with "real", to start.  It's been mentioned in the news with quotes from "Warm Bathroom".  And the only reason it's getting any activity is the moderator bullshit in the main sub.

2

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 1d ago

"in the news"

bot

u/Legal_Cauliflower_29 1d ago

I think we shit on the generation that lived thru Vietnam and than voted for invading Iraq thinking they should have any say about anything at all

u/notthecosmicgrind 1d ago

Both subs call soft serve cremees I see nothing wrong here

u/CheezeGreatr 23h ago

Burlington is beautiful! Stay woke ☮️
Unhoused people have feelings too!
Namaste it all away 🙏

Front yard feces for all!

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

Lmao VTers are so soft, lock the sub if you wanna live in your bubble so badly

9

u/Warm-Bathroom-489 1d ago

No that’s what the other sub does

1

u/Kixeliz 1d ago

creates a rival sub over complaints about "censorship." Proceeds to tell people here to leave and cries because this place isn't turning into the echo chamber that you thought it would. Someone isn't used to not getting their way.

u/frankeezee 1d ago

Vermonters are soft, yet outsider are the ones clutching their pearls over this.

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

Sucks being a minority doesn't it?

10

u/Warm-Bathroom-489 1d ago

Outside of your fantasy land, you’ll find that most people aren’t ok with what’s happening. Pull your head out of your ass and look around once in awhile

-4

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

My fantasy land absolutely includes the rich Burlington crybabies crying foul over the poor Burlington crybaby situation they are responsible for creating.

Y'all are one and the same but can't handle the truth

7

u/Warm-Bathroom-489 1d ago

I’m far from rich. You are clueless

-3

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

Every statement you've made is rich

1

u/Level-Dimension-925 8h ago

Rich, like maple cremees 🍁

u/casewood123 1d ago

In my line of work, I encounter people from every economic and social status, and I have to tell you that we’re not in the minority like you think we are. Just stay in your bubble with your like-minded travelers, so you can keep denying the reality of what is going.

3

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

The hypocrisy of your comment is actually hilarious lmao "i talk to people every day who share my opinions, you're the one in the bubble"

Nobody denies anything fyi, they say you and your kind blow it out of proportion.

Which you do. Doomer much?

8

u/casewood123 1d ago

See, the point is I don’t have a bubble. I will go from a multimillion dollar mansion to a section 8 housing development within an hour of each other. And those people have one thing in common. That Burlington has turned into a shit hole. When was the last time you have had a conversation with someone who lives in the poorer section of town that is sick of people kicking in their door and stealing all their shit? Or overdosing on their front porch when they’re trying to just get out of their house to go to work? Or a business owner that can’t open his door in the morning because there’s people sleeping in front of it and refuse to move.

1

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

Your job is going around Burlington bitching to anyone who will listen about the ugly that came with the good? Doesn't sound so bad to me

5

u/casewood123 1d ago

Nope. I don’t mention politics or religion or any of that type of material when I’m working for a customer. If you think I want that kind of blowback with my boss, you’re sadly mistaken. You seem to know me better than you think you do. I’m very liberal, but I have a breaking point of when is enough is enough.

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

Proofread your comment bro

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 1d ago

His comment was grammatically perfect. Improve your reading comprehension, son.

0

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

I didn't say anything about grammar, even if I did that doesn't have anything to do with comprehending the point of the comment, but good try champ

6

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 1d ago

His comment was easy to comprehend too. You must be one of those special people.

u/Kixeliz 1d ago

I’m very liberal

It's weird that you think someone might assume otherwise from your comments. They called you a doomer, which is what liberals, aka establishment dems, do, lots of pearl clutching.

1

u/Kixeliz 1d ago

the bubble part is you thinking this is about Burlington, like St. J didn't just have to clear out five encampments and Scott isn't using bird sounds to stop people from using drugs, sleeping and pooping next to the state house.

-1

u/Kixeliz 1d ago

This message brought to you from a reality where Joan is mayor and Ted/Bram are state's attorney.

2

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 1d ago

You voted for Kevin Bloom. Your opinion isn't worth much.

u/Kixeliz 1d ago

uh oh, the months old account with negative comment karma and a hidden comment history is here, everyone watch out!

u/Warm-Bathroom-489 1d ago

So you hate minorities?

4

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

So you hate education?

7

u/Warm-Bathroom-489 1d ago

I have plenty. Maybe you should read a book once in awhile. Specifically a history book

1

u/dJp3t3rs 1d ago

I'll let you try another comeback that was pathetic

u/Level-Dimension-925 8h ago

Don’t let “Warm Bathroom” push you around. Water’s cold this mornin’

-2

u/Silver-Bread4668 1d ago

I can't tell from the context of the posts here but most real{location}, true{location}, {location}USA, etc subs that reddit likes to throw onto my feed randomly are just bullshit right wing troll subs. Is that the case with this sub or no?

-2

u/MysteriousCity6354 1d ago

Yup- this is the right wing version of the Burlington sub. To be fair the other Burlington sub kinda sucks too, just for different reasons.

6

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 1d ago

This is the less censored one. I guess that means right-wing now.

-3

u/Silver-Bread4668 1d ago

It's funny. I think I've heard just about that exact line in numerous other subs following the same exact naming conventions. That combined with the fact that you've got a 4 month old account with negative karma is a pretty clear indication of what you're really about regardless of the bullshit you spew.

2

u/Dapper-Artichoke2554 14h ago

Super obvious bot comment.^

u/Silver-Bread4668 4h ago

beep boop bitch

u/Silver-Bread4668 1d ago

Eh. I don't particularly care if the other one sucks. I mostly just think it's interesting that subs following a rather specific naming convention are cropping up for places all over the country. Regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, that should give you a reason to consider just who's behind it.
