“So our cars got robbed this morning because Los Angeles is a crime-ridden 3rd world s**thole of a city,” YouTube celebrity Casey Neistat tweeted on Wednesday, November 24.
“But enormous appreciation to the hardworking cops at the @LAPDWestLA who not only nabbed the motherfucker but they got all of our stolen things back,” he said, thanking the L.A. Police Department for apprehending the offender and collecting all of the stolen items.
“Dude,” Seth Rogen replied to the tweet. I’ve been here for more than two decades. “You’re insane, haha.” He also refuted the concept that Los Angeles is a “crime-ridden third-world s**thole of a metropolis,” saying, “It’s nice here.” Make sure nothing valuable is left in it. It’s referred to as “city living.”
Dude I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts haha. It’s lovely here. Don’t leave anything valuable in it. It’s called living in a big city.

“I can still be mad, right?” Neistat argued. “I felt very betrayed.” “You can be upset,” Seth said, “but I guess I don’t regard my car as an extension of me, and I’ve never felt violated in any of the 15 or so times my car has been stolen into.”
Once, a guy left a cool knife in my car by accident, so if it happens again, you might get a little treat.” “Also, it sucks your st got stolen, but LA is not some sthole place,” the 39-year-old added, repeating his previous statement. It has a lot going for it in terms of huge cities.”
People swiftly took sides after seeing the dialogue, with many condemning Rogen of being privileged.
“When one of several cars is broken into, I, too, am unconcerned. I simply ask my assistant to clean it up and repair it. “What’s the big deal?” you might wonder. Noam Blum of Tablet Magazine commented sarcastically. “Viewing crime as some charming aspect of urban living analogous to deer devouring your vegetable garden is some Hollywood-goggles romanticization of something that has no redeeming value and does not necessitate any loss of humanity to prevent,” he continued.
“People speak about how this or that sentence exemplifies ‘privilege,’ and 95% of the time it’s complete nonsense, but this… yep,” political journalist Cathy Young tweeted. “Multi-millionaire celebrity explains why having your car broken into isn’t a big deal and you should just get over it,” Daily Caller writer Dylan Housman wrote.
“How come it’s okay?” It may not seem like a big concern to someone with [a lot of] money, but it is to someone who is struggling. It could be the difference between making it and not making it. And, notwithstanding, the notion that it’s just ok…cost of living…is…unhealthy,” said Katherine Brodsky, an entertainment journalist.
“Lol says the person who lives in a multimillion dollar estate far away from the tent city destitute drug users,” another user said. It does not have a lot going for it because more has been removed from it during its downturn.” “How about taking your privilege and doing something about it?” someone else said. Meanwhile, a few people agreed with the actor that the auto burglary didn’t merit the city being given such a reputation. Rogen retaliated on Twitter after receiving the backlash.
“A lot of people come at me and say st on Twitter, hoping that I’ll engage with them publicly and pay attention to them, but instead I DM them and tell them to fk themselves privately,” he wrote. It’s a lot more enjoyable.”
