San Francisco is the richest place in the world.

Let them come here and ruin us, please.

I love it when this moron posts in defense of the indefensible.



8. '.... Shellenberger calls San Francisco’s “pathological altruism” — e.g., spending $61,000 per tent for homeless campers — involves the “sacralization of victims” and abandonment of equal treatment under law. Progressive victimology preaches that behaviors that are destructive of individuals and urban civilization are definitionally caused by “systemic” this or that — racism, oppression, etc. So, progressivism strips victims of agency but also, Shellenberger says, defines them as “inherently good because they have been victimized.”

1. .....then you may not be aware of the lessons in genocide, slaughter and oppression that the Left/Progressives/Bolsheviks/Nazis/Maoists taught the world about the methods of the Left.
But we have a remedial for you.

2. In America today we have Left/Progressives/Bolsheviks/Nazis/Maoists/Democrats recreating a tiny bit less violent recreation of the works of their forebears.....kinda like an Oberammergau Passion Play version of the slaughter: the year long riots leading up to the stolen election.



3. And, speaking of remedial lessons......check out a shining example of what is in store for you under their governance.....even if they don't kill you:

"Progressives ruined San Francisco....​

...watch your step as you hopscotch around the excrement. And some of the thousands who sleep on San Francisco’s streets, the nation’s filthiest, are off their meds or on meth, or both, and are not always gentle. Also, Michael Shellenberger reports that between 2015 and 2018 the city replaced more than 300 lampposts “corroded by urine after one had collapsed and crushed a car.”

4. In 2018, there were 20,933 calls to San Francisco’s government complaining about human feces. In 2019, the city spent $100 million cleaning streets (four times more than Chicago, which has 3.5 times more people and is 4.5 times larger) because the city has more than 5,000 unsheltered homeless — a 95 percent increase in 15 years. In those years, in clement Miami, the unsheltered population declined 50 percent.

5. Last year in San Francisco, there were 6,275 registered complaints about used hypodermic needles in public places. In 2001, the city gave between $320 and $395 cash per month to the homeless while Oakland, across the Bay, gave $24. Guess which city had more homeless addicts."

But don't think that Progressives/Democrats don't learn from their mistakes........





.....oh...wait............they don't.

If you "missed the 20th Century" do NOT try to make up for it by reading what THIS cretin posts.

9. “What kind of city regulates ice cream stores more strictly than drug dealers?” One with a long pedigree of progressivism.


In January 1967, just before the “Summer of Love,” between 20,000 and 30,000 gathered for a “Be-In” in Golden Gate Park to take drugs and experience nirvana. On the stage, Beat poet Allen Ginsberg asked a friend, “What if we’re wrong?”

If?


California’s progressive Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, a former mayor of San Francisco, says of his state, “The future happens here first.” His boast, like Shellenberger’s book, is a warning."
