We're placing on pedestals unprincipled individuals who preach one specific gospel whereas hypocritically selecting in any other case for themselves.
They're the self-appointed progressive saviors who know what’s greatest for everybody much less lucky than themselves however would by no means select to stay the life they're preaching for the “underclass.” For them, poverty is a phrase on a chunk of paper, or a slogan you may sometimes toss round whereas pretending to care in regards to the dynamics of the people who find themselves merely surviving inside it.
Left-wing Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou’s brush with actuality got here again in 2016, when she defined to a neighborhood publication her reasoning for leaving Harlem for the wealthier Monetary District. Whereas residing in Harlem, she, sadly, had been robbed and witnessed a variety of disturbing crimes.
It goes with out saying that nobody ought to must endure residing in a scenario the place they're in fixed hazard or, at minimal, questioning their security. There also needs to be no disgrace for Niou having the chance to depart this high-crime space for a safer place; none of that is in query.
However once you advocate for coverage positions that harm the folks you left behind — who can’t simply up and go away their houses on a whim — nicely, there’s a particular circle of hell.
Niou pushes for the large defunding of the NYPD, which might make Harlem much less protected.
Remember that the black residents Niou claims to characterize don’t agree with that. A USA In the present day ballot from final yr discovered that solely 28% of African People wish to defund the police, and up to date surveys counsel that quantity has fallen even additional.
Worse, at the same time as Niou fled for the consolation of the Monetary District, she’s doing every part attainable to ensure the predatory wolves of New York Metropolis get cashless bail, all within the title of “justice.” It's progressives like her which have extra empathy for the violators of our society than the working-class who're making an attempt to do every part attainable to outlive and thrive.
You see this throughout the nation. Do you assume the progressive district attorneys of Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles stay in neighborhoods with excessive crime? Hey, not their downside!
Why would somebody who has seen the hazard firsthand do every part attainable policy-wise to make sure the folks she left behind stay defenseless? It’s as a result of Niou, and progressives like Niou, are predators as nicely.
Progressive predators prey upon the outcomes of the weak and are detached to their struggling. What issues to progressive predators like her is status, energy, and domination; rattling whoever will get run over or left behind within the course of.
In case you care a few neighborhood or a metropolis, you wouldn’t do every part attainable to make them extra weak. Now that she resides in luxurious, being weak is now not her precedence and neither are you.
