She should go back to California and exploit her illegal alien agricultural workers in person, not as an absentee landlord.

She’s nothing but a dirty capitalist pig in disguise.

I’d prefer she return the the East Coast where she originated from. We don’t want her here in Cali.

You brought up an interesting angle (capitalist pig in disguise). Not a very good disguise if we can see it.

But it brings up the larger thing and that is liberal guilt. I suspect a lot of them are ‘greedy’ for power or money, but need to project a humble, ‘doing it for everyone else’ persona. It is darn tough to not be true to yourself, because it is very hard to lie to yourself when you know it’s not true (ie you still have a functioning conscience that reminds you you’re lying) without going certifiable.

The problem stems from the fact most of them believe that people start out inherently good, and become bad. They have inner conflicts because that doesn’t jive with how they currently feel about themselves (self loathing, etc) but at the same time they are pushing standards and encouraging steps to be taken that they know themselves they won’t do. Plus then having to act outraged if anyone calls them on anything close to resembling hypocracy, they won’t even debate things anymore and say ‘the time of discussion about ‘x’ is over.’

The self loathing comes from their belief that everyone starts out good - but they do a personal inventory and see how bad their motives are, andthe tactics they have to use to trick others to believing things, and wonder how they got so cynical. They either go nuts, or buy into the ‘end justifies the means’ concept, or get called on it at some point and have a breakdown, with or without a meaningful revelation.
