Claims analyzed
Video opens with a highlight reel preview, setting a dramatic tone. — Just Vibes (50/100)
At 0:00
They're dropping 'real life zombies' and '100 years ago' right at the start. Pure emotional priming for whatever's coming. 😈
Why this score: The opening uses highly charged language and vague historical allusions ('real life zombies', '100 years ago') without context, immediately establishing a dramatic and potentially alarmist tone. This is a classic setup to grab attention and frame the subsequent content before any actual claims are made. It's not a claim itself, but a mood-setter.
Original quote: “So this is um investigated Germany city of real life zombies. Didn't this happen like a hundred years ago in Germany? Didn't this I think we already had this happen before, right? >> Yeah, it was a problem, wasn't it? Damn. >> How many years have you been stuck here? >> 10 years. >> How has it…”
Sets up a binary: saving lives or encouraging chaos — ignores middle outcomes — False Dilemma (20/100)
At 0:30
Offers only two possible results for the policy — either pure success or total disaster. Real policy effects sit in messier territory.
Why this score: By posing the question as an either/or between 'saving lives' and 'encouraging chaos,' the speaker excludes the possibility that the program produced mixed or marginal effects, or that other factors (poverty, housing, policing) are driving what the camera shows. The framing forces viewers to pick one dramatic conclusion.
Original quote: “to find out if Frankfurt's hands off approach to drug use is saving lives or encouraging a culture of drug use and chaos”
Harm reduction policy caused the visible chaos — Missing Context (45/100)
At 0:58
Blames supervised rooms for the scene outside the station — omits that the zone predates the policy and exists in cities without them.
Why this score: The clip presents the policy as the direct cause of concentrated drug use and crime right outside the train station. It skips any data on what the area looked like before the rooms opened, enforcement levels, housing policy, or how other cities handle open drug markets. Without that timeline or comparison, the viewer is left assuming the supervised-use approach created the problem rather than simply failing to solve one that already existed.
Original quote: “The city's goal was to make using drugs safer by giving drug addicts supervised rooms to use illegal drugs with the goal of treating drug addiction as a health crisis rather than a crime to be policed away resulting in a constant.”
Calls area 'designated lawlessness zone' — Loaded Language — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 2:38
Labels the whole block 'lawlessness zone' with zero legal citation — emotional branding doing the work.
Why this score: The phrase turns visible disorder into a formal-sounding category without evidence it's actually exempt from law. I've watched this trick since cities first learned to brand their problems instead of solving them.
Original quote: “Wow, there is a lot of drug use going on here. Injections. You can just see the needles, everything. Really everything. No problem.”
Open-air injections = total lawlessness zone — Missing Context (45/100)
At 2:38
Calls visible needles 'no problem' and 'lawlessness' in one breath — skips that Germany runs supervised consumption sites right here.
Why this score: The clip shows people using openly, then immediately labels the area a 'designated lawlessness zone' without mentioning Frankfurt's official drug consumption rooms that exist precisely so users don't hide needles in alleys.
Original quote: “Wow, there is a lot of drug use going on here. Injections. You can just see the needles, everything. Really everything. No problem. So, we just saw a lot of drug use. A lot of injections. Really everything.”
City 'sacrificed' addicts on purpose — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 3:31
Says Frankfurt 'sacrificed' this neighborhood — emotional framing that paints policy as deliberate cruelty instead of failed harm-reduction.
Why this score: The word 'sacrificed' turns a visible policy failure into intentional betrayal. No mention of the actual supervised consumption sites or the city's stated goal of keeping users alive while they use.
Original quote: “New York City. As I saw this businessman walk home from work, it's important to remember that Frankfurt is Germany's financial capital and home of the European Central Bank. In an otherwise beautiful city, this part of town has been sacrificed to accommodate the small percentage of drug addicts,…”
Claims city 'sacrificed' addicts deliberately — Missing Context — Missing Context (45/100)
At 3:31
Frames visible suffering as intentional policy while skipping every actual housing, policing, and drug law detail.
Why this score: Calling it a 'sacrifice' implies the city chose chaos on purpose. Reality is messier: failed treatment access, housing shortages, and enforcement gaps all exist, none of which get mentioned. The framing turns a policy failure into a conspiracy of intent.
Original quote: “New York City. As I saw this businessman walk home from work, it's important to remember that Frankfurt is Germany's financial capital and home of the European Central Bank. In an otherwise beautiful city, this part of town has been sacrificed to accommodate the small percentage of drug addicts,…”
Only two choices: let them die or force sobriety — False Dilemma (20/100)
At 4:00
Frames it as 'watch them die or take their drugs' — erases every middle option like decriminalization, housing-first, or Portugal-style treatment.
Why this score: The question pretends the only two moves are total prohibition or total neglect. Real policy sits between those poles; the false dilemma makes the middle look like it doesn't exist.
Original quote: “But how exactly is watching these people self-destruct and pathetic if you don't take the drugs away from them and place them onto a path towards sobriety?”
Presents forced sobriety as the obvious fix — False Dilemma — False Dilemma (20/100)
At 4:00
Offers only two choices: let them die or seize their drugs and force treatment. Real options exist between those extremes.
Why this score: The mortal sets up the classic trap — do nothing or go full prohibition. Supervised consumption, expanded treatment on demand, and housing-first models aren't even acknowledged. I've seen this binary pitch since the first war on drugs; it always leaves the middle ground on the floor.
Original quote: “But how exactly is watching these people self-destruct and pathetic if you don't take the drugs away from them and place them onto a path towards sobriety?”
Police won't enforce drug laws, creating de facto lawlessness — Missing Context (45/100)
At 5:46
Calls selective non-enforcement 'lawlessness' — skips that Germany has explicit harm-reduction policies in Frankfurt.
Why this score: The speaker frames visible tolerance as total breakdown. In reality Frankfurt runs supervised consumption sites and police are instructed not to arrest small-scale users in the Bahnhofsviertel; it's policy, not collapse. The 'de facto lawlessness' line erases that deliberate choice.
Original quote: “While none of this drug use is legal, police like these ones here won't actually enforce the laws prohibiting it, creating a deacto lawlessness.”
Police create 'de facto lawlessness' by not enforcing drug laws — Missing Context (45/100)
At 5:46
Calls selective non-enforcement 'lawlessness' — skips that Germany deliberately decriminalized personal use in many states.
Why this score: The speaker frames tolerance as collapse. Germany’s policy treats small amounts as administrative matters in multiple Länder; that’s deliberate policy, not police inventing their own law. The loaded word 'lawlessness' does the heavy lifting.
Original quote: “While none of this drug use is legal, police like these ones here won't actually enforce the laws prohibiting it, creating a de facto lawlessness.”
One polite guy = everyone else hates you — Missing Context (45/100)
At 7:13
Assumes one friendly encounter proves the rest of the street is hostile — zero other interactions shown.
Why this score: Takes a single data point (one guy was nice) and flips it into proof the entire area is dangerous. No other locals were given a chance to respond before the conclusion was drawn.
Original quote: “Quickly became clear that his hospitality was the exception and not the rule. Especially given the camera in my hand. This should be um smurfing.”
Assumes camera is accusing him of crack use — straw man on the lens — Straw Man (20/100)
At 7:31
Turns the camera into an accuser so he can dodge the question. Classic deflection move.
Why this score: He fabricates a claim the camera never made ('it's pointing at me') then attacks that version. The lens is a neutral tool; the accusation exists only in his head.
Original quote: “Is it crack? It's pointing at me. Look, it's it's pointing at me. It's pointing.”
Crack everywhere, Germany's embarrassed — Emotional Button (45/100)
At 7:39
Turns one guy smoking into 'Germany is humiliated' — shame as the argument.
Why this score: One visible user becomes national disgrace. The emotional weight is doing the heavy lifting instead of any count of how many people or how common it actually is.
Original quote: “I mean, imagine like I mean, you're just reduced down to smoking crack on a Germany sidewalk like behind a behind like I mean, this is just embarrassing. Is crack number one out here?”
Calls sidewalk smoking 'embarrassing' and asks if crack is #1 — loaded emotional framing — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 7:39
Uses 'reduced down' and 'embarrassing' to paint the scene before any data arrives.
Why this score: The speaker loads moral judgment into the description itself, then pivots to the ranking question. The shame is doing the heavy lifting instead of numbers.
Original quote: “I mean, imagine like I mean, you're just reduced down to smoking crack on a Germany sidewalk like behind a behind like I mean, this is just embarrassing. Is crack number one out here?”
Germany, how could you let this happen? — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 7:51
Asks the country to explain one sidewalk — collective guilt with zero policy details.
Why this score: Frames visible drug use as a national policy failure without showing laws, enforcement stats, or any other neighborhood for comparison.
Original quote: “How do you let this happen? Is it safe out here? Is it dangerous out here or safe?”
Asks 'how do you let this happen' — emotional button on collective blame — Emotional Button (45/100)
At 7:51
Frames the scene as something 'you' permitted, pushing guilt instead of facts.
Why this score: The question assumes the viewer or the country has agency and chose this outcome. It skips any discussion of policy, enforcement, or local context and goes straight for the outrage lever.
Original quote: “How do you let this happen? Is it safe out here?”
Fentanyl is officially #1 drug here — Anonymous Authority (45/100)
At 8:08
One person's answer becomes the official ranking for the whole area.
Why this score: Treats a single street interview as authoritative data on drug prevalence. No sample size, no other voices, just one guy and instant generalization.
Original quote: “Crack or fentinel right now. Number one. Number one. Fentinel.”
Declares fentanyl #1 drug on the street — confident ranking with zero sourcing — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)
At 8:08
Speaks with total certainty on street drug hierarchy while offering no evidence or source.
Why this score: The speaker states 'number one' twice as if reading an official chart. No data, no local authority, no visible comparison — just the tone of someone who already knows the answer.
Original quote: “Crack or fentinel right now. Number one. Number one. Fentinel.”
Calls vendor "definitely" crack dealer on sight — Confidence Mismatch — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)
At 8:30
Says "definitely" like he read the guy's tax returns — zero evidence, just vibe judgment.
Why this score: The speaker asserts certainty about criminal activity based purely on visual impression with no interaction or confirmation, a classic overconfident read dressed as observation.
Original quote: “That's definitely a crack vendor. You can tell this is absolutely the type of shady merchant that will sell you anything.”
Claims city policy openly invites drug use — Loaded Language — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 9:34
Frames harm reduction as "safe to use here" like the city is throwing a party — emotional framing over policy nuance.
Why this score: The speaker equates the existence of supervised consumption sites with active encouragement of public drug use, using loaded phrasing that collapses public health measures into a simplistic "come use drugs" invitation.
Original quote: “The city's made one message very clear. If you want to use, you're safe to use here. You have safe injection sites.”
Suggests netting addicts like animals as simple solution — False Dilemma (20/100)
At 9:45
Frames it as 'round them up or let them die' — erases every other option on purpose.
Why this score: Speaker reduces a complex public health issue to two cartoon choices: mass roundups or total surrender. Real policy sits in the space he pretends doesn't exist.
Original quote: “what if they just go around with like a net and just capture them all? I mean, I feel like you could round them all up in like a day.”
Suggests mass round-up with nets — Emotional Button — Emotional Button (45/100)
At 9:45
Plays the "just round 'em up" fantasy for outrage clicks — skips any actual logistics or law.
Why this score: The speaker floats an absurd mass-capture scenario that triggers the audience's frustration without engaging the legal, ethical, or practical barriers that make such a proposal impossible in a modern city.
Original quote: “what if they just go around with like a net and just capture them all? I mean, I feel like you could round them all up in like a day.”
Calls the street "heaven and hell" border — Loaded Language — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 9:59
Dramatic religious framing turns a neighborhood into biblical territory — zero data, maximum theater.
Why this score: The speaker overlays a cosmic good-vs-evil narrative onto a specific urban area, using apocalyptic language that signals moral judgment rather than describing measurable conditions or policy outcomes.
Original quote: “Street is the unofficial border between heaven and hell. These five or six blocks have been sacrificed to the drug addicts and drug dealers.”
Says police should force rehab — Missing Context — Missing Context (45/100)
At 10:14
Admits the health approach but demands forced rehab without mentioning legal limits or past failures.
Why this score: The speaker presents mandatory rehabilitation as the obvious missing piece while omitting the documented legal, constitutional, and practical obstacles that have repeatedly blocked such policies in Western democracies.
Original quote: “The police are there. They're not seizing the drugs. They view it as a health crisis, not a crime, which I get. But then you're supposed to couple that with taking the drugs away, giving them rehab, whether they like it or not.”
States Frankfurt has zero enforcement mechanism at all — False Dilemma (20/100)
At 11:14
Presents only two options: total enforcement or total indifference — ignores actual German drug laws.
Why this score: The binary 'no enforcement at all' erases existing German laws on public drug use, theft, and disorder. Real policy sits between the extremes the speaker offers.
Original quote: “There's no enforcement mechanism. It's they just let them do whatever they want, and this is what you get.”
Drug scenes like this will cause another Hitler — Weimar repeat — False Equivalence (20/100)
At 11:26
Equates visible addiction with Weimar collapse that led to Hitler. That's not how the history works.
Why this score: Speaker collapses complex economic collapse, political violence, and hyperinflation into 'people saw addicts so they picked Hitler.' Ignores the actual drivers of 1930s Germany while treating street-level disorder as the direct cause of fascism.
Original quote: “I really think that they need to worry about this because the last like I mean this is what happened in like the Weimar Republic of Germany, right? I mean like this is and what happened after that was Hitler. Like I mean a lot of people are going to see this and it's going to make them more…”
Germany deliberately engineering another Hitler — Emotional Button (20/100)
At 12:26
Drops 'manifest another Hitler' like it's obvious fact — pure fear button, zero evidence.
Why this score: The speaker frames routine policy failures as intentional Nazi revival. No data, just the emotional nuclear option to make disagreement feel like complicity.
Original quote: “trying to manifest another Hitler. It is It's like they're intentionally doing this on purpose.”
Dismisses man's speech as 'gibberish' after clear story — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 14:58
Calls coherent English 'gibberish' — emotional framing to mock the speaker.
Why this score: The interviewee gave a clear timeline from Haiti to Frankfurt and explained his situation; labeling it 'gibberish' dismisses the content without engaging it.
Original quote: “it's a really bad thing whenever you run up on a guy and he's speaking gibberish and the only three words you can hear are problem, crack, fentinel.”
Fentanyl arrived in Frankfurt Jan 2025 because Taliban cut opium — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)
At 17:29
Says 'as of January 2025' like it's settled fact — no source, no data shown.
Why this score: Presents a precise causal timeline with zero receipts. The 'Taliban crackdown caused the switch' story sounds tidy but the speaker offers no study, seizure data, or toxicology report to back the date or mechanism.
Original quote: “That's right. The fentinel America knows and loves has recently emerged here in Frankfurt. As of January 2025, as the Taliban's crackdown on opium in Afghanistan has reduced the heroin supply impurity, leading drug manufacturers to fill the gap by cutting heroin with fentinyl and other synthetic…”
Fentanyl 'recently emerged' in Frankfurt from Jan 2025 due to Taliban opium crackdown — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)
At 17:29
States 'as of January 2025' like it's settled fact — no source, no data, just timeline dropped cold.
Why this score: The speaker presents a precise causal chain and start date with zero supporting evidence or citation. I've watched this move forever — drop the calendar, skip the proof, let the date do the work. The framing makes it sound like documented history instead of an assertion.
Original quote: “That's right. The fentinel America knows and loves has recently emerged here in Frankfurt. As of January 2025, as the Taliban's crackdown on opium in Afghanistan has reduced the heroin supply impurity, leading drug manufacturers to fill the gap by cutting heroin with fentinyl and other synthetic…”
Claims police allow drug use so addicts will rob stores — Straw Man (20/100)
At 22:22
Invents a police conspiracy motive that nobody stated — turns non-enforcement into deliberate crime encouragement.
Why this score: The speaker fabricates intent: police supposedly want robberies. No evidence given, just a dark leap from 'they don't confiscate' to 'they want you to steal.' Classic straw man.
Original quote: “Oh, I see. You're going to steal things. Okay. The police will not take your drugs. They'll let you use the drug. They let you use drugs because they let you rob stores.”
Cops let addicts rob stores so they can stay high — pure speculation — Straw Man (20/100)
At 22:22
Invents a police conspiracy to enable theft — no evidence, just the speaker's leap.
Why this score: The speaker constructs an unsupported causal chain: police tolerate drug use specifically so addicts will commit robberies. This is presented as fact with zero supporting statements from the interviewee or external data, turning a policy discussion into an accusation of deliberate criminal facilitation.
Original quote: “Oh, I see. You're going to steal things. Okay. The police will not take your drugs. They'll let you use the drug. They let you use drugs because they let you rob stores.”
Claims every corner dealer sells cocaine — absolute with zero evidence shown — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)
At 22:42
Says 'every' like he's done a census — zero numbers, zero proof, just the word.
Why this score: The speaker escalates from 'some' to 'every' without data, turning a street observation into an absolute that sounds bigger than anything shown.
Original quote: “Okay. But the problem is every pup uh sells cocaine.”
Frames crack as old news, fentanyl as sudden new threat — Missing Context (45/100)
At 25:42
Calls fentanyl 'newly emerging' like it just appeared yesterday — Frankfurt's been dealing with it for years already.
Why this score: The speaker presents fentanyl as a brand-new problem the city has never faced, which quietly erases the actual timeline. By saying they've 'only really had to deal with crack and heroin historically,' the framing makes the situation sound more sudden and unprepared than it is.
Original quote: “The question is, how will Frankfurt's harm reduction approach adapt to the newly emerging threat of fentinel as they've only really had to deal with crack and heroin historically?”
Round them up, cage them, ship to rehab/jail — simple fix — False Dilemma (20/100)
At 26:50
Presents only 'round up and cage' as the solution — ignores every other policy that exists. 🔥
Why this score: He's framing the choice as either total chaos or literal military roundups with cages. That's not a menu, that's a false dilemma. The trick is pretending those are the only two options when real cities use treatment, housing, and policing together without turning into a prison camp.
Original quote: “How would you fix all this? just just fence the place off and then have the military or the police come in with guns and then just round them all up and uh I don't know like tie them down or put them in like little cages and [ __ ] and then uh you take them to like a rehab and the ones that are…”
Round them up with guns, cage them, ship to rehab/jail — casual authoritarian fantasy — False Dilemma (20/100)
At 26:50
Presents two extremes — total chaos or military round-up — as the only options. No middle ground allowed.
Why this score: The speaker frames the situation as requiring literal military/police cages and rounding up. Ignores every policy option between 'do nothing' and 'put them in boxes.' That's the classic false dilemma move.
Original quote: “How would you fix all this? just just fence the place off and then have the military or the police come in with guns and then just round them all up and uh I don't know like tie them down or put them in like little cages and [__] and then uh you take them to like a rehab and the ones that are…”
Equates German and US policies as both enabling addiction to death — False Equivalence (20/100)
At 29:35
Calls two different systems the same thing because both involve 'harm reduction.' Ignores that US has no national harm reduction policy and Germany runs supervised consumption sites.
Why this score: Speaker collapses distinct national approaches into one label. US lacks systematic harm reduction infrastructure while Germany operates regulated facilities — treating both as identical 'help you die' policies erases the actual policy differences.
Original quote: “sort of the same culture we have in the US, the harm reductionist culture and phenomenon where they help you use drugs until you die”
equates German EMTs with US harm reduction that 'helps you die' — False Equivalence (20/100)
At 29:35
Slaps US 'harm reduction kills' framing onto German medics stopping filming — apples to oranges.
Why this score: No evidence given that German EMT policy is modeled on American harm-reduction programs, yet the speaker treats the two systems as identical to score points about drug policy.
Original quote: “sort of the same culture we have in the US, the harm reductionist culture and phenomenon where they help you use drugs until you die. Give you the harm reduction in the short term, but long term, we know how this ends.”
Claims drugs are 'legal' in the area — false equivalence on policy. — False Equivalence (20/100)
At 36:06
Says 'it's legal' — equates tolerated use zones with full legalization; they're not the same.
Why this score: Personal possession isn't prosecuted in some zones, but sales, trafficking, and public disorder remain criminal. The speaker collapses that distinction into 'legal,' making a policy choice sound like total permission.
Original quote: “here it's legal but to criminalize. Yeah. So uh and the puffs. So they were at where they are cracking.”
€5 interview offer then 'luck ran out' — quick pivot to danger — Volume Game (45/100)
At 37:48
Offers money, gets pushback, immediately narrates 'luck ran out' like it's now hostile.
Why this score: The sequence is textbook: cash offer → rejection → instant editorial that the area turned dangerous. The framing does the emotional work while the actual interaction was just people saying no to being filmed.
Original quote: “You guys want to do an interview for €5? One minute of your time. After shring into the red light district, our luck damn began to run out.”
Then: helpful Germans. Now: everyone else has no character. — Missing Context (45/100)
At 39:43
Skips that he arrived already as a fugitive dealing drugs — his 'good old days' started after he fled the law.
Why this score: He paints a clean German-only past then blames outsiders for the decline, but he himself is the 29-year American fugitive who brought the criminal lifestyle he now condemns. The 'nobody helped each other' line erases his own role in the scene.
Original quote: “When I first came here, there were only German people here. A lot of women, a lot of men, everybody helped each other. You know what I mean? We had problems from the bank. Now you got every country in the world here. You don't see no German people here. And these people here have no character, no…”
New arrivals are animals with zero character — Loaded Language (20/100)
At 39:58
Drops 'animals' on an entire visible population — the emotional button doing all the heavy lifting.
Why this score: The word choice turns visible poverty and addiction into a moral category instead of a material one. No data on who is actually robbing whom; the label itself is the argument.
Original quote: “And these people here have no character, no get no couture, no nothing. They they they on the street. They sleep on the street. They're not trying to do nothing else. They rob each other. Steal from each other. You know what I mean? That's how they live. Just like animals, you know what I mean?”
Calls people animals — dehumanizing shortcut with zero receipts — Loaded Language (20/100)
At 40:08
Jumps straight to 'just like animals' after naming theft — no numbers, no comparison to other areas, just moral disgust as evidence.
Why this score: He's a self-admitted dealer describing the same street economy he's part of, then uses animal language to separate himself from everyone else doing the same thing.
Original quote: “They're not trying to do nothing else. They rob each other. Steal from each other. You know what I mean? That's how they live. Just like animals, you know what I mean?”
Dismissing addiction as obvious — no context on why. — Loaded Language (45/100)
At 40:34
Shrugs off addiction like it's the natural state of things — skips the part where someone created the supply.
Why this score: The speaker treats addiction as inevitable and self-explanatory. No mention of how the drugs arrived or who profits from keeping people hooked. The framing makes the user sound like the problem instead of part of a bigger system.
Original quote: “Yeah, duh. I mean, [__] they're addicted.”
Dismisses woman's 50/50 answer as wrong, demands certainty — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)
At 43:05
Acts like she should know the exact danger level at 1 a.m. — she gave the honest answer and got told off.
Why this score: Speaker rejects her uncertainty as invalid and cuts her off, implying only one correct opinion exists even though she's the one actually living there.
Original quote: “Is it dangerous out here for a woman at 1:00 a.m.? >> I I can't tell. No. >> No. >> 50/50. >> 50. >> You don't know that? Don't talk to me.”
Calls scene a 'zombie crisis' while downplaying it as normal — False Equivalence (20/100)
At 43:24
Labels it a 'zombie crisis' then immediately says 'every city has a street like this' — trying to have both shock and normalcy.
Why this score: The speaker uses extreme apocalyptic language ('zombie crisis') then pivots to 'every city has this' to normalize it. This is classic false equivalence: equating a visibly severe open drug scene with ordinary urban problems while keeping the dramatic framing for effect.
Original quote: “Oh my god. Actual Germany like [__] zombie crisis. That is insane. I don't know how like 50/50 is dangerous. Yeah, I'd say it's extremely dangerous. Like I mean absolutely it is. But you know like that's some people want to act like it's not a big deal. Every city has a street like this. Sometimes…”
US cities all look the same as Germany — false equivalence — False Equivalence (20/100)
At 44:25
Equates random US cities with Germany's specific decline — they're not the same situation, mortal.
Why this score: The speaker flattens distinct national contexts into one blanket comparison. US homelessness and German street scenes have different causes, policies, and timelines. Collapsing them into 'same thing' erases the actual drivers and pretends every major city is interchangeable.
Original quote: “US, but like I don't view what California does and everything. It's the same thing, right? I have no idea. Every major city does. Yeah, I think that a lot of people do, right? It's super [__] embarrassing, but that's the way it is. The country turned to [__] Even other cities look like this. Yeah.”
