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.

“We’re slipping and sliding toward third worldism.” - Bob Grant (several decades ago)
"The actor played the predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich who master ignoring - and navigating around - the misery of others in their midst.
What is a "Third World rich who master"?
I am thinking more along the lines of Idiocracy...
The hospital ER I work at in southern NJ is filled with jabbering mutts from every Third World crap hole on the planet.
And they’ll all tell you “In my country health care is free’’. “In my country we don’t have guns’’.
Same here in Pensacola. There is a big homeless camp under the south end of the I-110 viaduct downtown, apparently allowed by the city for the time being.
