Terrible place to live 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jan 22, 2025) I've lived in Appleton to call it home for over 15 years.

A failure in policing and values.
A failure in nurturing and respecting humankind.
A city full of first amendment violations and dystopian capitalism equivalent to that of a dictatorship.
Police who lack values and ar ...Read More e horrible at conflict management.
A society that never really cares about its people at all.

Overwhelmingly a HORRRIBLE place to live. My whole life.
A value-less, ethicless society where no one ever cared about each other what-so-ever. And all they ever wanted was infinite unbearable suffering and death.
A society equivalent to a Hitler natzi regime. And nothing more AL ALL.

People who fail to value and respect each other on even the most basic levels.
People who will only lead us to destruction and chaos.
People who lack human values. People who NEVER EVER say hi to you. People who make ZERO initiatives towards conversation. SOME COLD HEARTS, who would never lift a finger nor do anything for you.
This is the TRUE Appleton. Always has been, always will be. And I'll never have any respect for them again.
Because all they are committed to is destruction, chaos, and fear. Lack of morals. Lack of values.
AND I WANT NO PART OF THAT!

Jobs are always high-distress, disrespecting, insane, inspirited, unenthusiastic, unmotivated, morale-less, and self-esteem bogging, ego-bogging, and confidence-bogging.
LITERALLY THE UNHAPPIEST PLACE TO BE ON EARTH!!!

And everyone only pits against you when you fall down and get low in life. NO ONE ACTUALLY WILL EVER CARE ABOUT YOU HERE!! And they only want to see people who already struggle continue to struggle, because that gives them good feelings on the inside, because of their own ethical reasons and validations. People who are going through shit, they only want to keep suffering unbearably or commit suicide!!!
That is all Appleton will EVER be! A place full of unbearable proletariat suffering, where you are nothing but a tool of the elite, and die with people forgetting, glad you are dead, and blaming you for everything (and nothing but) AFTER you are dead.
This will all Appleton will ever be to me. All it HAS been. And all it will EVER be.

THE PEOPLE HERE LITERALLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER AT ALL.
They only want to see people die and suffer their entire lives. They have zero respect for what it means to treat people humanely.
Because no one ever did in this world.
That is the harsh, real reality we are dealing with here.
Hard, cold-blooded psychopaths and sociopaths everywhere you look.
People who simply never cared about each other anyways, and only want proletariat folks to take on the blame and die being nothing but blamed for all their own shortcomings and failures.

What we truly need is old people to die sooner and less young people. This will stabilize the effects of the economic depression we are all headed into, and world war three itself.

This desire and need can NOT be understated:

Appleton, WI is the Center of North-East Wisconsin 4 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 04, 2010) I've lived in Appleton my entire life and have no desire to leave. Appleton offers the activities and events of a big city but maintains a close community feel. For example, if I spent an evening seeing a play at the massive Fox Cities Performing Arts Center I would surely see ma ...Read More ny familiar faces in the crowd. Then I could cross College Avenue and find myself on the infamous bar thoroughfare that is traveled to from all over the state, making it the most bustling nightlife spot in north-east Wisconsin. As the night turns to day, bar patrons clear the way for the weekly farmers market that runs every Saturday from June through October.

Only blocks away from the busy social center of Appleton, one can get lost in one of the many natural parks that line the Fox River. To get a better view of the river, climb up the hill and have a picnic on the grass on the Laurence University campus, renowned for being one of the nation's top music schools. Appleton hosts the area's largest mall, bar street, and number of performance centers so I have no reason motivation to leave my hometown. Read Less
