Bushwick is like Bed Stuy. It's a fairly large and diverse area. It's definitely not a yuppie eclave at this point...mostly just decent working class people.
Back in the 90's I worked for Airborne Express in Brooklyn. From 99-00 I worked the Greenpoint area. It was one of the better routes. Lot's of Polish people staggering around drunk by mid morning that kept to themselves. Even back than I could see the change coming. As far as changes go this one wasn't bad. New people, mostly young with career's moving in & bringing their money with them, opening new business & renovating existing properties. When I drive through there now I see what was once a nice area that has been made even better.
That being said I understand why some people who are lifers get annoyed with what they are seeing.
My neighborhood of Greenpoint has been taken over by these artsy Midwestern types with their parent subsidized lifestyles. Shows like Girls have only accelerated this where over privileged Midwestern girls and guys on estrogen coming to the big bad city armed with their liberal arts degrees.

So people should get over it when they are bullied out of their homes?
Weren't you claiming to be Irish and Italian last week under your last name? Why do you always change your ethnic group each time you get banned/kicked off?
Will you be a Hasidic Jew who got pushed out of his home due to gentrification next week?

Wasn't there a psychological study released last week that showed online trolls were clinical sociopaths? As in serious mental instability. This guy's shtick is finding trending issues, writing up a long made up paragraph with every stereotype of the trend he can find, and then pushing some buttons to illicit responses.
After the responses stop the high goes away, and he just creates another username with a different stereotype and pushes more buttons.
You'd think all that time would be better spent trying to get a job and a girlfriend

Next week he will be a hipster getting pushed out by other hipsters.
It's a satire. the OP just doesn't realize it. He comes on every week under a different name. Probably got outpriced and outclassed by gentrifiers and couldn't keep up. Or he's just bat**** insane, it happens - it's NYC
