A close relative of mine works at “community clinics” in NY City. Deals with a lot of poor, diabetic/obese, drug addict, HIV-gay, etc... nearly all are on Welfare and Medicaid.
She will often see some things clearly - blame the individual for stupid behavior, - throwing away or selling medicines (and then asking for more free), not following treatment plans, continued risky behavior. Or, she will note the cycle of ignorance and government hand-outs these folks are trapped in.
Yet somehow, in the big-picture, its still “the system’s” fault. Neo-cons, Bush, the 1%, the Koch Brothers - whatever the slogan of the day is, they are to blame
Liberalism is a mental disorder. The writer has it. I see it all the time.

I work with stupid leftist like that. As great as they are in many other ways, they are purposefully blind. Nurses, as an aggregate, are the most politically ignorant and blind humans that walk. But social workers take the cake.
Perfectly said.
I know a lot of liberals due to the state I live in, and many of them SEE the issues, causes and everything else pretty clearly, and you think “Hey! They DO understand!”
And then reality hits, and it boils down to “We aren’t doing it right”.
How many apologists for communist regimes have said THAT over the years...that it is a “good concept, they just aren’t doing it right”?
