You hear about the liberal Baptist pastor in Silicon Valley who resigned after his criticism of the area’s wealthy went public? Excerpt from The Guardian:

A Silicon Valley pastor has resigned from his church after calling the city of Palo Alto an “elitist shit den of hate” and criticizing the hypocrisy of “social justice” activism in the region.

Let’s take the Silicon Valley situation. It is Ground Zero for the Brazilification of America — that is, the process by which our country is being turned into a polity where a tiny minority living behind gates has most of the wealth, and the rest are precariously adrift. Yes, ha-ha, look at those rich libs, so full of virtue, but blind to their own indifference to those not in their economic class.

I met one of the SJW idiots who is involved in this.
I asked her “Have you ever been to Silicon Valley?”
The answer of course was “No”.
I suspect she was paid to be there for a couple weeks and slunk back to MN in disgrace.

These fake religious types are just like school teachers. They think their job is to indoctrinate more people into being communists instead of teaching them something useful.

Looks like a true believer figured out the hypocrisy of the Palo Alto liberal. “Woke” for social justice as long as it doesn’t affect them personally in any way.

This "do as I say, not as I do" attitude isn't unique to Palo Alto, although you couldn't find a better posterboy for it than Mark Zuckerberg.

This mindset exists wherever liberal elites are found. They want "rights" for illegal immigrants and support radical racial agitation among minorities, all with the understanding that they in their nearly all-white gated communities will never be the ones to deal with the social consequences. It's a lot like the Hollywood liberals who agitate against you or me owning handguns while their private security details are armed to the teeth.

“I go to Rio...”

Yup. Palo Alto’s just a new and rather extreme version of it. The article gets into the housing situation, which is that the residents there make sure that basically nobody except the rich can afford to live or really anywhere near them, forcing those who work for them to endure a hellish experience just trying to get to work while keeping a roof over their heads.
