What we’re seeing in the Democrat cities is a total breakdown of civilization. That’s not an exaggeration. You don't have a civilization when normal people can’t walk down the street without having to dodge junkies, piles of human waste, and knife-wielding maniacs. You have chaos. But chaos is OK with the inhabitants of the Democrat big cities. I know that because they keep electing people who allow their cities to be chaotic. I’m supposed to be outraged and upset by this, but my caring bandwidth is limited. I can only care about so much, and what I cannot do is care more about the plight that the blue voters have placed themselves in than the blue voters who elected the Democrats who allow this to happen do.
Blue cities, this is your problem, not mine. I don’t live in one. I live near one, but not inside it. Instead, I live in a suburb around many rich liberals who absolutely will not tolerate such nonsense. Our schools never have 0% of the students testing as proficient, like in blue Baltimore. The moms would never allow that. Instead, they prepare our kids to go to Ivy League colleges. Our streets are safe to walk, and whenever a random loser sets foot in our little Shangri-La by the Beach, a bunch of very big cops come with the total support of the Chardonnay wine mommies with the “Hate Has No Home Here” signs in front of their multi-million dollar townhouses and descend upon them like the Valkyries. You don’t hear complaints about cops hassling street people in my town. You don’t get complaints about police brutality. What you get is safe and clean streets.
Misery is for the poor, but the poor could outvote the Volvo voters if they wanted to. They choose not to. They choose to elect leftist Democrats with rich libs’ luxury beliefs, and their choice has consequences.
Understand me. I don’t think that people in blue cities should not have safe and clean streets. I think they should. But they don’t think they should. And I know they don’t think they should because they refuse to elect people who will ensure they do. Don’t tell me that these problems are intractable and unsolvable because we watched Rudy Giuliani take New York City back from the Taxi Driver abyss when it was equally scummy and turn it into an urban paradise. I remember my first trip to New York City. It was fantastic. I didn’t worry about getting mugged. I didn’t worry about violent vagrants. I just enjoyed the nightlife and restaurants. But the people of New York City decided they wanted to go in a different direction. They wanted to go down, down into the depths of hell. And now that they are down there, they seem sad. Well, I would be sad for them, but there are a lot of other things I have to be sad about, and their bad choices are at the end of that long list.
Of course, it was inevitable that murder and other social pathologies would not remain just a problem for the poor. The chaos is affecting the libs of pallor, so the libs of pallor who have not bolted to the suburbs are starting to get concerned. In the last week, a tech zillionaire was butchered by a violent criminal who should have been in prison but was let out because Maryland thinks it’s meant to lock up rapists. Another guy, a big defund the police moron, got stabbed by the same kind of degenerate in New York while his commie girlfriend watched and then refused to give cops a description because she didn’t want to see the guy charged. When the cops did find the killer, the regime media decided to play along with the criminals-as-victim lie by blurring his face. This, of course, did not apply to the guy who restrained a different violent lunatic on an NYC subway and who is now charged with manslaughter because that lunatic expired. The hero – again, who is being prosecuted for protecting people from one of these freaks – had his face put out there unblurred. This is what is known as “equity.”
I am also told on Twitter or X or whatever that I am not supposed to gloat over the misfortune of those who created their own misfortune, including this leftist creep’s death. I don’t recall gloating, but I do recall shrugging. Naturally, it took about five seconds to find the tweets where this jerk chortled over the passing of Rush Limbaugh. Basically, this guy was delighted at the thought of our deaths, but we’re not supposed to recognize that for some reason. Well, I do anyway. Once again, we are required to follow arbitrary rules that our enemies ignore – and yes, I consider somebody who would celebrate my death an enemy. I’m funny about that.
But I’m not gloating because I’m not going to waste a second of my time thinking about this guy because he didn’t waste a second of his time thinking about himself. His death directly results from the very same policies he actively pursued. I understand that consequences are racist and transphobic and part of the patriarchy, but they’re also a thing. I will point out that he and others like him made the reality that killed him. If that makes people sad, I don’t care. And if they think that makes me a wrong person, go ahead and think that. I am entirely indifferent to the moral judgments of people who refuse to take the essential actions required to maintain a civilized society.
San Francisco is in danger of losing 50% of its police force. Seattle and the other blue cities are pretty much the same. Turns out that if you defund the police, you get less of them – and more murderers and rapists. They are also all sanctuary cities because being a sanctuary city was hip and cool until it started to cost something. Now, they are being overrun by Third World transients and the domestic variety, and it’s costing them a fortune. Good. I want them to feel the pain of their own stupidity instead of Texas feeling it for them. For too long, they were able to posture without a price, but now that bill is coming due. And when they cry to us for help, we will shrug our collective shoulders and observe that we can’t and won’t help them until they decide to help themselves.
Schlicter nails it again.
👍👍
We should have had Lee Zeldin as our governor, but NY is infected with too many Rats and illegals. And they don’t give the consequences of their idiocy a second thought — the Rat will vote Rat again, again, and again.
Years ago, Red destinations seemed abundant. Not sure that’s the case anymore.
Except that their votes are stolen from them...
I think people in blue urban areas should get exactly what they’ve been asking for, and they should get it good and hard.
Excellent writing!

Was this the guy that got killed and his girlfriend didn’t want to identify the attacker? That’s how the article seems to read.
Wow
Regards,
Yes, the passage you excerpted refers to the same incident described in the previous paragraph:
Another guy, a big defund-the-police moron, got stabbed by the same kind of degenerate in New York while his commie girlfriend watched and then refused to give cops a description because she didn’t want to see the guy charged. When the cops did find the killer, the regime media decided to play along with the criminals-as-victim lie by blurring his face.
Regards,
I just wanted to be absolutely certain before....
well, here’s 2-3 more examples:
Who remembers the guy from Austin(?). With his cowboy hat, he wandered into feral territory (I think it was Chicago but it’s been awhile), because, like, he was one of them and down with the cause. He had a play he had written - with the liberal SJW overtones.
Well, the ferals murdered him, anyways.
Two more who championed the SJW cause:
Corrina Mehiel
“Just a few days after she was photographed with Nancy Pelosi grinning in approval, friends found Mehiel tied up, stabbed, tortured, and ultimately dead at the hands of El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure, a black man arrested driving her car and using her debit card.
He said he didn’t do it.”
“Her belief in black victimization came, she said, at an early age when her mother read to her the book that would change her life: It Takes a Village, by Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
By the way, he raped her too, before she died.
“Man Found Guilty in 2017 Rape, Murder of Artist Corrina Mehiel in NE DC Apartment”
David Ruenzel
“This is the kind of atmosphere that David Ruenzel helped to create with his early and oft-cited work on white privilege for the Southern Poverty Law Center. The kind mentioned in his obituaries. The kind that blinded him to the dangers of being a white person in a black neighborhood in Oakland.
Other visitors to the Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve where Ruenzel was murdered describe the trail as idyllic. An oasis. A hidden gem.
But commentators to the Oakland news site that reported Ruenzel’s death were a bit more explicit: “That parking lot is a well known site for smash and grabs,” said one of several. Others pointed out graffiti and other crimes.
Another commentator, as if he were channeling the dead writer, chided anyone who suggested however slightly that white people are at risk of violent crime from black people in Oakland: “I’ve never read more atrocious comments. The white fear/hate is pretty scary.”
This is the world the Southern Poverty Law Center hath wrought: Comments about killing are scarier than killing itself.”
“Some liberals, most of which are ego-soaked, look for ways to support their self-perceived importance so they champion imaginary causes for that purpose,” Newburn said. “They are adult-children who feel free to construct fantasies about their greatness. Their narcissism in part functions to blind them to inconvenient realities. So to compensate, they idealize the targets of their misdirected and pathological ‘caring.’”
Except let’s call them what they are: RED cities. Red for the Communist Demonrats. Red for the blood of the victims that flow in the streets. Red for the Satan the voters worship.
He’s got a point
I worry that this lawlessness will eventually spread everywhere unless somebody puts a stop to it. Democrats seem not to mind it and we have no political power so it will be headed in our direction soon enough.
What he said
When office buildings go vacant and businesses close stores and leave malls, property tax revenues start to drop. As business leaves, sales tax revenues also drop.
Some cities and states with ever higher income taxes are driving people out causing them to move to other states. U-Haul has statistics on one-way rental. People are leaving California and New York in large numbers.
Democrat and Sanctuary Cities are also a magnet for illegal immigrants who need social services that are costly at the local level.
Even with election fraud, the elites of these cities support these policies.
There isn’t enough popular opposition to support a counter elite that could challenge them.
The problem is that people who support this garbage can exit. They move to other areas and immediately start supporting the same poison that destroyed where they came from.
What you are seeing is blue states being subsidized by working citizens. Create a cris and the feds send taxpayer dollars.
Yep. The fact that many of these formerly very rich cities have turned into unlivable hellholes is quite simply not my problem. The residents chose to live in chaos and squalor rather than to maintain civilization so let them reap the rewards of their own stupidity.
When one of my enemies like the Klantifa moron in New York or like the loudmouth “journalist” in Philly or the tech CEO in Baltimore die horribly as a result, so much the better. They would wish for no less for me. The difference between us is, I’m not stupid enough to advocate things that would destroy me.
>I am entirely indifferent to the moral judgments of people who refuse to take the essential actions required to maintain a civilized society.
That is just a great line. Be ready to use it in conversation.
