By Matthew Boose May 6, 2023 Arguably, the greatest indictment of leftism is its preference for the vagrant and the criminal over the law-abiding citizen and victim. In politics, there are all kinds of disagreements about the role and scope of the state, but the one thing the state must do is protect the innocent.
Without security, there is anarchy. And where there is anarchy, the state can command neither legitimacy nor respect. Yet racial idolaters on the Left have pushed society to forgo basic expectations of public order and civilized conduct. Demanding anything more than day-to-day chaos would be cruel to “marginalized” people like deranged homeless black men on the subway.
The Left has a warped infatuation with society’s most entitled, recalcitrant, and destructive elements. Their latest martyr is a lunatic named Jordan Neely, who was killed while threatening commuters in Manhattan on Monday morning. The man, portrayed by sympathetic media as a “Michael Jackson impersonator,” was throwing garbage at people and making vaguely threatening statements about his willingness to go to prison for life. A reasonable person would feel afraid in this situation, as passengers doubtless did. A heroic vigilante intervened and put Neely in a chokehold. Two other men helped restrain Neely, who later died.
Seldom is the line between civilization and savagery drawn so clearly as it was in Jordan Neely’s subway car. The Left has demonized the vigilante for his “barbaric” supposed “lynching,” but this gets it precisely backward. Barbarism on the subway is a daily occurrence; it is part of the atmosphere. Barbarism is forcing commuters to fear for their lives and property on a Monday morning. It’s what you call it when vagrants shove people to their deaths in front of moving trains, and all the state can do is shrug.
In places like New York City, criminals are a protected class. Just days ago, a homeless man stabbed a commuter with an ice pick. Jordan Neely himself had 42 prior arrests and an open warrant for assaulting a 67-year-old woman at the time of his death. He is widely reported to have been a menace to the safety of others, in short, a net negative on society.
Jordan Neely had no business being on the street. Only a deranged society would treat such a man like an equal.
But rather than permit the “injustice” of locking up violent blacks, governments in places like New York empower criminals to terrorize innocents. This is called “social justice,” and it’s happening everywhere.
Roving caravans of “youths” in Chicago regularly riot and loot with impunity. The city wrings its hands over a lack of “resources” in the hood and stages ineffectual “awareness” campaigns. Civilized society is extorted, literally and morally. Philadelphia recently paid off rioters who were tear-gassed while blocking highways during the George Floyd riots.
No matter how bad it gets, no matter how many people get hurt, it will never be enough to satisfy the Left. They will always find a way to justify the criminals and blame the real victims, whose cries for justice are drowned out by the endless wailing of black entitlement. We are often told that the politics of “white grievance” is transforming America into some kind of authoritarian state, but the opposite is true. We are racing into the ghetto.
It is impossible to have civilization when it is a crime to hold members of a protected class accountable for their conduct. In Manhattan on Monday, justice momentarily took the reins away from “social justice.” The normal course of state-sanctioned disorder was disrupted by a brave onlooker, who very well could have ignored the threat, like most commuters have been conditioned to do. Instead, he chose to act at great risk to his safety, reputation, and freedom. It would be surprising if he is not hanged, drawn, and quartered for doing the right thing. He is a fool if he does not expect it.
The Left is trying to bring down our government and that means creating enough chaos to destroy the "civilization" (read: society) it provides.
Throwing our arms up in exasperation at how the Left is destroying civilization is not productive.
First, our leaders (if there are any) who understand what the Left is doing need to communicate it to people who are serious about defending the country. Then we need to organize and start fighting back.
Fighting back certainly needs to start with us marching, going on strike, pulling kids from schools and colleges, and then...
I won't say out loud what else needs to be done because the Gestapo--the FBI--will be knocking on my door...but you can imagine what will be required.
If we are not willing to fight back, we will become slaves.
And don't think for a moment minorities (blacks, gays, lesbians, transsexuals, etc.) being used to create the current chaos will be safe when the Left takes over. Those useful idiots will be the first to be eliminated.
Anyone who has studied the Nazi takeover of Germany can see what is coming.
Ya think?
It’s sad but true!
Well said.
Exactly!
“while decent, productive citizens are ignored and disparaged at every turn”
And a lot of us are growing tired of it. We need a leader.
Yes. It is intentional.
All Non western immigrants and their descendants are a cancer on the west.
Black Townships in the US ?
Destroying civilization is the goal, blacks are the human wave cannon fodder.
A world where the existing elite keep their power and privileges, with just enough peasants to keep their lifestyle going. A few hundred million, perhaps fewer.
They are "saving the planet" for themselves.
I’m in favor of reparations.
Let’s give those blacks who truly despise and hate America a one-time, tax-free check of $100,000.
All debts and back-taxes are completely wiped out.
Here’s the kicker:
Their US citizenship is voided. Terminated, kaput.
They can never travel, work, or even vacation in the US ever again.
They have 3 months to leave the country or the offer is voided and they’re imprisoned for being illegal aliens.
They MUST move to a Sub-Saharan African nation.
They CANNOT move to Europe, Asian, or Central & South American nation.
How many will take the deal?
There’s dozens of conservative black shows on YouTube commenting on ghetto culture. Here’s one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLqbd79TMs0
These shows are cutting-edge commentary, and can say things that whites can’t. And Google can’t take these shows down or they’d be attacked as racists. These shows are worth a look along with our support.
More correctly, black grievance politics is among the woke bull**** agendas that is destroying civilization.
And?
What happened to the homeless man that illustrates "criminals being a protected class"?
No argument with the assertion about criminals, just with the poor writing to use an example which might or might not support the assertion.
Smart people will get out before they're trapped in democrat hellholes with their property worthless and not enough money to escape.
The race baiters are celebrated by the MSM.
That’s the point.
I’m laying odds that the now deceased Michael Jackson railway entertainer never paid the fare to get on the subway nor has he ever in the last 20 years
