—“People living in comfortable, super blue areas of Manhattan and Brooklyn, for example, are well served by public transportation and often insulated by their political and economic power from much of the devastation the city has suffered in recent years. They believe that this is an example of benevolent government working to improve the lot of the oppressed, including it in their package of progressive beliefs.”

Now there’s a recurring theme. Privileged people totally cut off from the way most people live thinking that the policies they favor are “helping the poor and oppressed” and patting themselves on the back for it, when the opposite is actually happening 😡

It seems the leftist elites always feel that they know what’s better for the “lower” classes. Seems hypocritical because on one hand here in Canada, they are always going on about how we need to give credence to people’s “ lived experiences” then when people start to speak up- they are told by the “elitists” to shut up, follow the Science, obey. Canada is in a bad way right now. The slumbering sheep have been “nudged” to “obey” and “wave the flag- they are “taking it back” from those Freedumber Convoy types” and have been told it’s perfectly acceptable and “understandable” to boo another country’s national anthem at a hockey game. From this self proclaimed “fringe minority” I apologize for that and please know that there are still a number of us who don’t go along with the narrative that all our problems are caused by DJT. You won’t hear that in the media though as they are still getting their pay cheques from the government and have been given their orders to OBEY as well. Best wishes on the hockey game tonight - I will be cheering for Canada but definitely not booing the USA’s anthem 😊🇨🇦🇺🇸 🏒🥅😊

Yes definitely hypocritical, because their desire to hear people’s “lived experiences” is fake, pretend. A mere façade so they can keep telling themselves how “caring” they are.

Thank you for the wishes! I don’t really follow most mainstream sports here but I wish your team luck in your game too!

Agree, it is a phenomenon that exists in many other places as well.
