There are constant threads here about how terrible Baton Rouge and Louisiana overall can be. I am not discounting people's frustrations, this state really is fricked up in some ways. However, after wathcing the underdogs of Ukraine fight to the death (and win) for their land, it gives me hope that people of Louisiana will do the same. There are more good people than bad, we just need to work harder to take control of our future. Complaining about our issues on this site certainly draws attention to an issue, but getting involved in the community and making an effort to resolve the issues are the only way we're going to prevail. Hate litter? Volunteer with groups to pick it up. Concered about the youth? Spend time mentoring at risk-youth. We've witnessed how bady government can destroy our society. Don't expect governement to be the soltuion. You be the solution.

People across the world are demotivated. It’s a natural malaise that runs its course from time to time. Happens when people are unable to reconceptualize the world so all they see is old issues that will never be solved.

They don’t understand they need to approach things from a different angle

The solution needs to happen within the homes causing the problem. Nothing else but that will fix it. That’s never going to happen.

There is plenty of ammo to rid the bad areas of the problems, but to do so is still highly illegal.

You managed to virtue signal about Ukraine in a post trying to defend the shithole that is louisiana. Insanity

Mostly incompetent and corrupt politicians raping the citizenry for personal gain and the citizenry continually voting in mostly incompetent and corrupt politicians is the main problem I see.

I can’t change how idiots vote and how pieces of shite reproduce like rabbits creating an obscene amount of pieces of shite. I’m also not going boots on the ground to fight crime like frickin Batman.

Aside from the shitty hot miserable weather from May to October, I actually like living in New Orleans and Louisiana.

Most of y’all make it out to be much worse than it actually is.

It could be better. A lot better. But it’s still home.

Bro, Putin had victory day yesterday and then had a speech today comparing current American leftist thoughts to that of the former Soviet Union. He claimed the left can't rise above what the Soviets did and he's not wrong.

The EU isn't banning Russian oil purchases because Ukraine won..........

The first step to real change has to be calling a constitutional convention for the purpose of framing a new state constitution and blowing up the current one (ETA: aside from the existing declaration of rights in Article I).

Hear, hear!
Vive la Louisiane!

For real it’s def something worth fighting for. The rest of the US with a few exceptions (and maybe none comparable to Louisiana) is incredibly homogenized. The state’s food/culture is used on this site as derision, but there have definitely been wars fought over less. I think it’s at least worth sticking around to volunteer/vote/fix.

It's a lost cause, best chance is to control certain parishes.

It's like taking a bucket to empty the gulf at the moment tho. So long as politicians stay in office and keep having tax dollars to spend they'll never tackle or even acknowledge the real issues dragging this state towards the point of no return
