In the San Francisco Bay Area, we're at the breaking point: It's not just the COVID restrictions, It's also the complete breakdown of civil society.
American Thinker ^ | 02/02/2022 | Terry Paulding

After two solid years of COVID restrictions, many of us have reached a breaking point. Witness the mass exodus to other states from sunny California. Who wouldn't want to get out of here, away from this strangling, prison-like "reality"?

Malaise is now spreading throughout the country, as a direct result of Biden's mass migration. How do you know that your chosen destination hasn't been set upon by a horde of unknown, unemployed migrants? This makes moving elsewhere less attractive. You can't know what you'll find when you get there, but it might be just as bad — or if clandestine flights continue, will be soon. Moving to the south of Texas or Arizona is certainly no longer attractive. You must pity the people stuck dealing with the relentless and dangerous influx.

Locally, as of yesterday, I've become an Untouchable. I can no longer eat in a restaurant in any of the communities surrounding my home, or legally enter my gym, attend a concert, go to a museum, or do anything that enriches life beyond the bare bones of going shopping for food or goods or taking a walk outdoors. Why? Because I refuse to carry or show a "vaccine passport" or share my "status."

Locally, life's miseries keep piling up, beyond the COVID BS. I'm angry, worn down by living in such disharmony. Around here, despite 10% sales tax, sky-high income tax and property taxes, we have terrible schools with an openly CRT curriculum, children masked for no reason, and, if a suit hadn't just been won against it, they'd be forced to take the jab. In my town, 97% of them already have, with parents oblivious to the potential harm. What's going to be the long-term result? How much chronic illness and death will it cause?

MORE SAN FRANCISCO MISERY FROM THE AUTHOR:

On the everyday level, we are surrounded by chronic misery. Leave home, encounter bums, garbage, and tents tucked into every crevice of every filthy, potholed, decaying underpass. I use the word bum purposefully. These are not just downtrodden, “homeless” victims of our high property values. They are addicts, the mentally ill, the violent. They’re takers who aren’t motivated to better themselves when the state will pay them to fester, have learned to game the system, and have been enabled to stay pickled on drugs and check out. They take no pride in their own humanity. They beg on every street corner, every highway exit. This despite taking government largesse the rest of us must supply with our high taxes.

The solution is obvious: San Francisco has to stop electing Republicans to run everything.

Yes the Republicans have had decades to fix things out there, and look where they are now.

Victor Davis Hanson: Third-Worldizing America
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson, op-ed via Townhall.com,

It’s called Third Worldization! It’s 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.

Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger 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 predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst. 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.

Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.

Violent crime is soaring in America. 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.

• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.

So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”

Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

The above statements excerpted from: Victor Davis Hanson’s: “Third-Worldizing America
Nation & State” ^ | 12-4-2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

Fox News: California city/Walnut Creek boosts security budget by $2 million after ‘criminal mob’ ransacks after Nordstrom’s @ Walnut Creek was rocked by a smash-and-grab mob last month!

https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-walnut-creek-security-police-2-million
It’s the leniency of politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom/Gruesome which is ultimately responsible for the descent into barbarism and this organized looting/piracy with masses of looters.

This organized massed looting is similar to a problem our forefathers had at one time. It was called piracy. They shot or hung pirates and then sank their ships with the pirates on board.

That worked for about 3+ centuries until George SoreA$$’s Elites’ took over our blue states, cities, mayors, local and state attorney generals, governors and often, the local police chiefs.

This has allowed George SoreA$$’s elites and his well funded BLMers to have free reign over many blue cities and states and now, the plundering of the Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek.

Forget It, Jakes/Janes! Relax! It’s Now, Not Even Your City/Town/County nor State, any more!

George SoreA$$’s elites control everything now from your schools to the stores where you send your kids and try to buy things.

Even, If you didn’t vote for this, it doesn’t matter!

Your votes were probably not counted nor have been counted for decades, if ever!

“If enough libs move from california...”

If the number of California license plates I see in my town alone is any indication...it shouldn’t take much longer.

“We” are getting exactly what “we” asked for in California. Good and hard, too. Say hello to Snake Pliskin for “me”.

I’m seeing California license plates on an almost daily basis in the Jacksonville area now.

Illinois is becoming more common, too. Those Midwestern folks use to mostly stick to the west coast of Florida but no more.

Thomas Sowell (and others) have long said that Leftists should be forced to live with and under the policies they enact.

That was a sad article. We have conservative brethren who live in that area, as unlikely as it sounds, I know they are there. They only option they have now is to move.
