In a recent online exchange, YouTuber Casey Neistat posted his fury after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a "3rd-world s-hole of a city."
The multimillionaire actor Seth Rogen chastised Neistat for his anger.
Rogen claimed that a car's contents were minor things to lose. He added that while living in West Hollywood he had his own car broken into 15 times, but thought little of it.
Online bloggers ridiculed Rogen. No wonder - the actor lives in multimillion-dollar homes in the Los Angeles area, guarded by sophisticated security systems and fencing.
Yet both Neistat and Rogen accurately defined Third Worldization: the utter breakdown of the law and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.
After traveling the last 45 years in the Middle East, southern Europe, Mexico, and Asia Minor, I observed some common characteristics of a so-called Third-World society. And all of them might feel increasingly familiar to contemporary Americans.
Whether in Cairo or Naples, theft was commonplace. Yet property crimes were almost never seriously prosecuted.
In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.
Violent crime is now soaring in America. But two things are different about America's new criminality.
One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.

Let’s face it. 6 Billion people want to come to America for a better life. We can’t take them all.

The author should have included the bringing in refugees and allowing/encouraging illegal aliens, both from the 3rd world also contributes to the US becoming more like a 3rd world country
Coming to smaller cities also. On Tuesday of this week, I had to go to Tucson for a medical treatment at the University of AZ Medical Center. As we went north on Grant street, there were at least 3 beggers on the corners and 2 homeless camps on the sidewalks. My guess is they are setting up in order to winter there. The Twenty First Century “Snowbirds”.
It makes me wonder, how long before the traditional Snowbirds decide to just stay home?
When you import products made in the 3rd world you import their standard of living and export wealth.
so far the looters have been thinking small only hitting storefront retailers
they should be thinking bigger
you know big like an amazon warehouse
oops! shouldnt have said looters. thats forbidden.
do it yourself wealth redistributionists
I live in rural Kentucky and see beggars all the time. The ones I see are 99% drug addicts. The drug, 99% of the time, is imported and trafficked under the nose of the federal government with its active support or enabling indifference. The regime wants this.
Believe it or not I’ve had more than 1 argument with leftists on FB or CL that say you can.
I can’t decide if they are truly that stupid and out of contact with reality. Or that they are so propagandized they either willfully lie about it or refuse to admit truth.
Most drugs are not imported “under the gov’t’s nose, there is tacit approval by the CIA and a few other three letter orgs.
Sure, mobs of white guys looting stores. Even during the soros insurrections in 2020, the white antifaes would only smash the windows, the BLMers would then go in and do the actual looting.
At or near the beginning of the sci-fi movie Looper (2012- starring Bruce Willis), a typical community in the USA in the year 2047 is shown as shabby and violent. How prophetic.
We are definitely on a downward trajectory as a nation. I personally intend to mark January 20 next year with an upside-down American flag.
“you know big like an amazon warehouse”
Or small, like individual homes, as someone else has already observed.
The day Obama got elected, I flew my flag upside down for a week
Then took the entire 25 foot mast out of the ground

It’s coming across the Mexican border. The feds knew how, where and by whom. They very easily could shut it down. Trump was well on his way to accomplishing this. But no, you’re right this isn’t happening under their noses. You’ve been watching the MSM massage reality too long,
We’ve been a third world country for decades, just more of the symptom are showing now.
