We have an obligation to redistribute
The holiday season is upon us, and leave it to an Ivy Leaguer to play the role of the proverbial stick in the mud.
Writing in the Yale Daily News, guest columnist Xuan (who uses the pronouns they and them) invokes the United States legacy of colonialism, exploitation, slavery and genocide to argue that Americans personal charity isnt quite enough nor all of morality.
They offer examples of a shady used car salesman and a sketchy entrepreneur who, after screwing over people in the past attempt to make good later in life through charitable giving.
This would be academic if we were nothing like these protagonists individuals who have benefited from either violence, deception or exploitation, Xuan writes. Yet, I [shouldnt that be we if one uses the pronoun they?] think a little bit of reflection suggests that many of our lives are closer to theirs than we might like to think.

Chicomm?
Here is this person's bio. Mr. Subliminal commentary provided in bold
Xuan (pronounced Sh-YEN) is a senior in Davenport who flies halfway across the globe to Yale every year from the island-state of Singapore spoiled globalist. Once optimistic about the future of technology, they confused now major in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science in the hopes of helping ensure wanting to control that the birth of superintelligent AI does not mean the end of sentient life wants to enslave Deplorables. Outside of class, they continue to worry about the worlds future as a member of the Yale Effective Altruists dictator wannabes, and distract themself from those worries by choreographing for Danceworks Baryshnikov wannabes or performing for the Bad Romantics Drag Troupe Divine wannabes. Talk to them about literally anything unless you're conservative, but especially about philosophy, queer religiosity, and the meaning of life has no sense of humor.
Seriously? Do you know how fast a simple “pickpocket” issue can turn deadly?
Get a grip
He sounds like Chairman Mao and Stalin.
Thank you Lord for our second amendment!
Children are being told that it is greedy to do as you wish with what is yours, and honorable to demand that someone else pay your way.
Shallow graves for the communist looters in the back....
Ain’ they all?
I swear, if I am ever introduced to someone who advises me of what pronouns to use when addressing them I will punch them in the face.
Every time I read one of these soft in the head missives, it reminds me of this from another Yale Graduate, Marshall Dodge (I have posted it before.):
Most anyone who has lived in New England for awhile knows of the adventures of Marshall Dodge’s fictitious characters, “Bert and I.”
The following is a story of Down East Socialism Best if read with a Mainer accent, i.e., lengthen the second syllable and talk slow.
“Eben Robey went down to the Tremont Temple in Boston to hear Norman Thomas speak. When he cum bak he was out preechin socialism cross the back fence to Enoch Turner.
Eben: You know, Enoch, under socialism everybody shares everythin.
Enoch: Is that so?
Eben: Ayuup.
Enoch: You mean to tell me, Eben, that if you had 2 fahms and I had none, youd give me one of em?
Eben: Ayup. Under socialism Id give you one of em.
Enoch: And if you had 2 hay rigs?
Eben: Under socialism, if I had 2 hay rigs and you had none, Id give you one of em.
Enoch: Well, Eben, suppose you had 2 hogs?
Eben: “Damn you, Enoch! You know I got 2 hogs.”
And so it goes...
>>Do you really want to kill someone just because they are picking your pocket?
It isnt someone picking your pocket. It is a never-ending line of pickpockets.
The question they need to ask is is whats in his pocket worth dying for? Because when you decide that your personal sovereignty can be taken bit by bit, then you have already lost it.
Xuan will be the first in line to verify your generous redistributive contribution ... let’s not disappoint the cellar dweller. After you, please ...
Shouldn’t you be demanding a government job?
Does Xuan have the guts to try taking my money himself, or does he take the usual coward’s way out by planning to send an armed government agent to do the thievery?
Says a student from an institution with a 27.2 billion dollar endowment but is listed as a not-for-profit and is tax exempt.
Ah! Mainland Chinese (by his name structure) I see, here no doubt courtesy of his very wealth parents, one of whom certainly has important ties to the PLA and ruling Communist Party elite.
Excellent synopsis.
Try it and you'll find out.
Say what, twig boy?
