Yeah, “public freakouts” is usually where the normal folks hang out, “actual public freakouts” is where all the toxic assholes group together.

u/BriskPandora35 2d ago

Makes sense. The name “actual public freakouts” tells me these are people who love the glorified notion that the world is on fire and everyone is attacking each other in the streets. These people tend to be very reactionary, usually in the racist/conservative sense. Like how Fox News always claims that crime is on the rise, when it is in fact not.

For them the cruelty is the point.

I think the Chinese emperor throwing fireballs had a really good point about the first world after reading those comments.

Being in these leftist subreddits kind of insulates you from how normies think. The moment you move to a place like r/ActualPublicFreakouts, you realize just how degenerate the entirety of western civilization has become... it's truly shocking. I'd occasionally get recommendations from these big subs and every time the comments are just horrific.

u/Pale_Fire21 1d ago

/r/actualpublicfreakouts isn’t “normie” btw they’re the people who got exiled from /r/publicfreakout because they’d flood every video that has a black person in it and start spamming racist bullshit.

Pretty much any sub that has “true” “actual” or “real” before the name of the actual sub is usually a right wing offshoot started by people who were mad the mods were doing things like “not letting me be racist”

Oh thanks didn’t know that, but in hindsight the passive-aggressive language is kinda clear 😂

I'm shocked he isn't wearing MAGA gear. However, I'm sure he's a God-fearing Xtian that attends worship every Sunday.

how should the guy handle the situation if she doesn’t leave, she’s making the sidewalk messy and he’s the one getting fined for it being messy? he called the authorities and they weren’t helpful, he asked her to leave and she refused.

What can the guy do? Just accept that the fines and do nothing? Continue to ask her to leave even though she’s refused? At what point is this guy considered a victim taking matters into his own hands cause the system failed? ideally the government would provide housing to this woman and this problem wouldn’t exist but that’s not the reality. so, taking reality into consideration what can this guy do?

u/Doc_Bethune 1d ago

You're watching a guy nonchalantly spraying a house on a homeless woman and your first instinct is to take his side? Do you not see how fucking ghoulish that is? If the cops aren't helping and the municipality is fining you then call a social worker or a homeless shelter and try to get her taken care of instead of assaulting her. In a just world this POS would be in jail for this

u/Carl-Nipmuc 2d ago

How is this NOT assault?

u/evennowthereissnow 2d ago

That’s the thing, it IS assault. But unhoused folks are not treated as human in the eyes of the law. We had a small encampment in our neighborhood when I lived in WA that had some bad actors move in. I witnessed a woman being raped in broad daylight and called 911. The dispatcher completely dismissed me and said they’d send a car “if someone has the time.” I had my infant with me or I would have just handled it right there. Luckily I was close enough to my house I ran home to my husband who DID handle it. The cops never came. This is what it means when we say “we keep us safe.” No one is looking out for our most marginalized. We have to act.

Holy shit those comments. Like whole hugely upvoted thread of racism against Roma people.

u/MetalliicMango 1d ago

And it's not even somebody from Romania, it's in San Francisco. Just some random bullshit racist story was enough to get up votes from these people, its gross.

Jesus Christ, the comments on the original post…

Americans really lack any form of empathy or class consciousness.

u/PuzzlePassion 2d ago

Unions are too conservative for the vast amount of uneducated Americans. Most people haven’t even heard the term class consciousness.

u/evennowthereissnow 2d ago

I’m really tired of people filming this shit and posting it for pretend internet points. Stop that man! I’ve actually started to publicly shame Old White Man freak outs and I’ve been 100% successful. Do not let people behave like this around you or it will continue to worsen.

u/that0neGuy65 2d ago edited 1d ago

What a crotchety Old Man. You'd think he'd have empathy, but no he's not one of those old people who get better with age like a fine wine. But instead soured like milk left in the sun.

u/Professional_Taste33 2d ago

I'm not filming. I'm catching an assault charge. I don't understand people.

u/radicalgrandpa 1d ago

Shit, I'd join you. The most disgusting thing is that he should be the one getting the assault charge, but won't. I hate the word "homeless" because it immediately dehumanizes the person being abused.

u/RefrigeratorGrand619 2d ago

Guy with the hose is much closer to being in that lady’s position than in a billionaire’s. But I bet he’d jump at the chance to lick the boots of a billionaire he thinks would ever give him the time of day.

I'm sad but I'm furious as well.

I have just gone to the bathroom some minutes ago to throw up 🤮🤮🤮. I'm a human being, after all, and seeing such evil (I'm also referring to the comments on the original post) affects my body physically! I'm sorry if anyone is bothered by my empathy!

Maybe actually read what happened before you judge. She refused help for weeks, camped out there, and asulted the guy. Below are some quotes from the article:

He said he called police and social services and told the woman to move before she allegedly threw trash cans and yelled back.

“She starts screaming belligerent things, spitting, yelling at me… at that point she was so out of control… I spray her with with the hose and say move, move. I will help you.”

Garcia and others in the area said they have seen the woman sitting in that spot for the past few weeks refusing help and wanting to be left alone. Barbarossa’s owners called San Francisco social services in an attempt to help the woman.

Freidenbach confirms this woman in the video was offered to go to a congregate shelter, but she says that is not appropriate for a person who might be severely ill and disruptive. San Francisco Board President Aaron Peskin tweeted, “My office is well acquainted w/ the victim and have been trying for many months to get her support from (The San Francisco Department of Public Health.”

If any of you unemployed losers were capable of running a business you wouldn’t want a homeless person stinking up the area outside your establishment and harassing your customers. Play This happened in San Francisco, arguably the most leftist place in the US.

u/NoImNotObama 2d ago

your entire comment history is about how much you hate muslims lmao

talking about unemployed losers but you hate follow left leaning subs and circlejerk about your little one sided race war all day, holy shit

u/mahemahe0107 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ironic coming from someone with more than double my karma lmao. And I don’t subscribe to left/ terrorist sympathizing subs but they always worm their way into my feed.

And Islam isn’t a race, plus anyone with common sense would realize Islam in its true form is basically the antithesis of any leftist ideology. They’re allowed to oppress and hate everyone but god forbid anyone says anything back.

I think I’ll live with someone who unironically spends their time watching streamers and subs to “leftist gaming spaces” thinking I’m weird.

u/NoImNotObama 1d ago

Yeah the one leftist gaming space so i don’t have to interact with racist creeps like u bro. Gross dude leave me alone already

u/mahemahe0107 1d ago

Lol I’m not the one who has to go to a subreddit to talk about my gaming interests, a political one at that. I talk to my friends about that. Maybe go outside and talk to people at your job or hobby groups, if you even have those things….

And Leftists are only anti racist when it’s convenient, bring up Indians, Jews, and even Asians in some circumstances and that goes out the window.

u/NoImNotObama 1d ago

You think liberals are leftists don’t you

Yup, live in San Francisco, was on that subreddit at the time. This due was litterally a hero.
