Alex Olson vs. Leo Twitter/Insta beef? Real or beautiful fantasy?

[waltercronkite]

L.A fucks you up , don't go there.

That's why I can't wait to finish college and get the fuck out of here.

These generalizations always bug me. That said, it's usually coming from people who haven't even been there and are just regurgitating stuff they've heard in the media. You folks don't really seem to be in that boat, and I'm sure you have your reasons, but I really enjoyed living there.

WAIT A SECOND, accidentally got off the SUPER, SUPER important topic at hand. DID WE FIGURE OUT WHO'S GAYEST YET??? That's what they're beefing over right, most gay?

Bull fucking shit. Every Angelino who can't face up to the fact that LA is a shit city uses the "they probably haven't even been here" excuse constantly. Yeah, the media makes it look like a shitty city too, because its a shitty city and the media is accurately portraying it. LA people just like to claim that the only reason people hate LA is because of the media, but LA is the fucking worst city in the world.  Every terrible stereotype about it is true. You can't get anywhere on public transit here, people drive everywhere, people are more superficial in LA than any other city in the world, its also the most consumption obsessed city in the world, oh, and BY FAR the most racist city I've ever lived in. There is no multiculturalism in LA, for the most part, each ethnic group obsessively defines itself as something different and refuses to befriend people outside of their ethnicity.
 
And yes, the idea that one should wear fancy clothes to a fucking skateboard premiere is something that douchey LA people would come up with just to show what douches they are.

LA fucking sucks. It is irredeemable. I'm leaving it this weekend to move to SF. I don't have a job or anything lined up, but I'd rather die on the streets there than live in my fancy downtown loft here.

Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion but you're rattling it off like it's fact. L.A. isn't for you... that's fine, but God Damn you say some stupid shit. I'm not even from L.A... only lived here for a couple of years but I love it. The shit you spouted off can really be said about any large city if you're looking for it. For example... I'm from Seattle originally... I lived for a year without a car and it was awful because public transportation is a joke. You go across the water to the Eastside and you'll meet much more superficial people than anyone I've encountered in L.A.. I'm not saying we don't have them here, but they're EVERYWHERE. The middle of America has superficial people... who's making you spend time with them? There is no multiculturalism? I don't believe for one second you typed that with a strait face.

Clearly I've never met you but if you're 1/4 as negative in real life as you are here, people aren't "refusing to befriend" you because you're outside their ethnicity... it's because you're probably pretty awful to be around. Prove me wrong... I live downtown too and I'm happy to buy you a beer.

And I don't expect to change you're mind about anything because you're never been wrong about anything, but you sound ridiculous talking shit on people being superficial and getting dressed up for big events in their life right before you let us all know you live in a "fancy loft" downtown... just don't forget your #humblebrag hashtag next time.

It's the truth. Maybe you have never been out of SF, but they're all nasty tatted "quirky" hippy bitches with no style or they're asian. Maybe that's your taste though.  Hot girls in SF are 1 in 100.  Anyone who thinks SF is better than LA is tripping.

Also, if I was gay as fuck I'd be loving SF.

LA ain't that dope but goddamn you said some dumb shit.  I'm sorry you have that much hatred toward the most culturally diverse city in America.  Don't let it get you down that hard buddy, it's just a city.

[few123456789]

I have to side with the Gipper.  I used to live in LA and it does suck.  Even if you have money.  I've also lived in NYC and other cities so there is a basis for comparison.

If you're from there though I'm sure you like it and I respect that.

[sexualhelon]

So the Insta beef thread has come to this, huh? LA is the epitome of a city that falls into the love/hate category but I feel like it grows on you. You could say it's essentially America's take on the big city and maybe being an American that's using to the car culture I'm able to take it in a little better that people from other places. However, when I first moved out here I had only really spent time living in Phoenix, Atlanta, San Diego, and Mississippi where I grew up. I've got to say that when I first ended up here I absolutely hated it but then again I was a bit younger and more naive to the world. I moved around and never stayed in a place for more than a year since I turned 18 but found LA to be the city where I kept ending up so at one point I accepted it's where I considered home more than any other city.

I've traveled to every continent aside from Antarctica and South America as well as living all around Eastern Europe - mostly Poland and Serbia - for nearly a year. Eastern Europe is by far my favorite region of the world and Krakow is where I'd like to retire one day. The people, the fact that there's such very recent history coupled with history that dates so far back, and how genuine everyone came across to me was something that I loved. When I moved back from there I ended up living in NYC for a little while but it just wasn't for me and alas I'm back in LA. I like the space of it  - how you can find these ritzy face controlled clubs but then go to a true dive bar downtown established in 1923 that Bukowski and Fanted used to hang out at. I feel like people spend so much time in their cars isolated in a bubble on their way to wherever they're going that when they get there they're more open to mingling than in a city like NYC where everything's shoulder to shoulder and it's so hard to get the feeling of being truly alone. LA and NYC are by far the most diverse cities in the world which is something I love. To each his own though, every man is entitled to their own opinion which is not a fact to anyone but yourself.

The only problem is it's in America.

Go to Eastern Europe immediately, you fucking ingrate.

i really liked that movie Drive.

Quite balanced. You have to go a few places before you bash on a place that's kinda take it or leave it..

Like Mark Twain said, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
- Innocents Abroad

Traveling broadens your horizons. I didn't really touch on the America thing because it brings up another debate but the things that bother me about this country are health care, education, and housing. The things you want tend to be affordable but the things you need remain unattainable. Also, lobbying shouldn't be legal and credit is just an umbrella under capitalism that is made to fuck over the consumer - if you would even call it the person a consumer. As in, why do you have to make deposits for things such as gas and electricity? Why is it a ding on your credit report every time you get it checked? Tipping in my eyes is a way for the employer to screw over the customer and the employee but for some reason we just accept it?

[Napalm Tree]

Once read a story about Leo's previous instagram beef

http://truelifeskateboarding.tumblr.com/post/15327164040/eric-and-leos-beef

[mcpeepants]

I miss the days when you never heard anything from pros and so you could hold on to your illusions about what they might be like in real life. Then the internet came along and exposed the full effects of the often necessary trade off between finishing high school and pursuing a career in skateboarding. Often with very disillusioning results.

Leo Romero needs to just shut the fuck up. He is an incredible skateboarder, but he is also an idiot and comes off as a douche bag in every interview I've ever seen or read.

Holden would bitch about something like this. Get off the internet if you want to hold onto your illusions.

Everything is attainable in America if you work for it. What in your mind is unattainable?  Maybe you think everything should be free?  There is affordable housing in America, but if you don't want to live in a trailer park, then you work to get out of it.  If you can't afford university, you get a loan and work to pay it back, or work even harder and get a scholarship.  The healthcare is the best by far. There's not even an argument for that.  Let me guess, you read  Chomsky.

Did you ever see Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark? The harsh reality is that no matter how hard you work not everyone can make it or live a comfortable life - most people work to get by. Capitalism and corporations basically operate on the same scheme as established gangs  - There's that one guy at the top, or maybe a good few many, but most are stuck at the bottom selling drugs while getting their hands dirty in the lower tier truly believing they'll one day be the guy at the top but most end up dead in the streets. No one wants to speak up because of this fact that if they make everything equal and attainable by law then they'll never get to be that guy at the top wallowing in pools of money and private jets.

Are you fucking serious? Schooling and healthcare here is a joke. I know a girl who went to Columbia and works her ass off but can't get a job in her field where she wants to be and this story rings true for so many people. Yeah, she's getting by because she's got the drive but nothing here is a guarantee. Why is school so expensive here that we're forced to take out loans and then deal with professors who don't give a shit - they're just they're to get their work published. Where do you think all that money really goes? NYU was one of the biggest contributors to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. There were protests that happened at the school which you probably never heard about which involved students getting shot with rubber bullets. I forget which, but NYU even stopped giving grant money or scholarships - I can't remember what. I think the kid who makes B's and C's but really strives to learn should have the same opportunity as me and be given the chance for free.

For healthcare, privatization of the industry is a sick, sick thing. It's a bunch of money grubbing assholes that don't give a shit about you they just got into the industry to make money because that's the association with it in America. I almost went to Medical school at UCLA but didn't because it resonated so much more with me when a well known doctor gave a speech about how he never got rich because he does mostly non-profit because he loves it and you shouldn't be there if it's not your passion. Truth is, there's a lot of doctors who indeed never become millionaires but I'd think they all live pretty well regardless.

I've noticed that in the states most people can afford to go buy that new ipod, pair of designer jeans, or take out loans to get a flashy car but then that's the consumer culture  we have here and I fucking hate "face control". I could go on and elaborate for days spanning into numerous topics under the subject but I'll just tell you that you need to educated yourself, my friend. There's plenty of documentaries and books out there so pick a few up then travel to a country which houses it's people, educates them, and offers them healthcare when they need it. Spend some time there and you're sure to gain some insight.
