The long awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed prequel is finally here
This is the beginning of a series of post I will be making titled The hypocrisy and Harm of the Left in the US. This intro is #0. My intent is to address the double standards and ill thought out ideals of the Left through a specific issue each thread. I do not mean to attack anyone and start...

Lets tackle another fascinating hypocrisy of the left.
The left is a major "activist" for disadvantaged people. Its this that installs their feeling of moral superiority over others. Though how true is this?
The left always talks about how people of color are being discriminated against, hunted in the streets, and disproportionately effected by things like violence, prisons, wealth and others.
Yet... these same leftist decide to move from their home location into areas of predominately poorer communities and or of people of color and uproot their culture, homes and communities by the process known as gentrification. Growing up in Los Angeles I have seen this first hand. Rich tech leftist coming in to communities of people of color and contribute to the phenomena of gentrification in which these people in these communities are forced to leave their homes, their families, their cities, in order to find somewhere they can afford to live as a flurry of condominiums are built where apartments and liquor stores used to be. All so that these hypocritical leftist can go and complain about the racial injustice from their lofts that cost them thousands of dollars a month that used to be the home a family of color.
They love to speak about colonialism yet they colonize other peoples communities.
They love to talk about opportunities for people of color while they destroy their businesses and homes to open up Starbucks, Whole Foods, juiceries and pilates studios.
This is aided by the leftist policy of rent control which provides no incentive for landlords to build affordable housing because its not as profitable of a business to manage. What we see in turn is that landlords are stuck with building high end condos and complexes that escape the boundaries of rent control laws. Therefore these areas meant for the poor become for the rich because only expensive housing gets built. The attention and care into now rent controlled building plummets and they become riddled with structural issues, and even cheaper landlords who often turn to section 8 and management companies who bully and intimidate its tenants, especially the elderly.
The left becomes baffled at how many homeless people there are when its the direct consequence of their policies and gentrification that forcibly removed entire communities. They blame it on the "non empathetic right" and how the right doesn't care. They then make policies like we see in LA where the homeless are untouched by law enforcement. There is no consequences for putting your tent, crack needles, and propane tanks on the sidewalks that tax payers work for. There is nothing done about the homeless who harass women, stab people, scream down the streets at 3am. Their stuff is not removed by law enforcement, they are just allowed to live on the streets because leftist policies says its not fair. Then in a sunny states like California where the it doesn't freeze, there's free showers and water by the beach, free wifi at cafes, and free welfare and food stamps from the state. It just incentivizes loads of people to be homeless and not to work out of it, for criminals with warrants in other states to come to LA and be homeless.
Then the left goes even further by decriminalizing crimes like theft and drugs in cities they just moved into and proclaim that its better for the people of color. They inhibit the bad behavior that plagues these communities and allow it to go on which furthers the perpetual cycle of poverty in these communities. Yet they think providing consequences for these crimes is in someway racist or bad for the communities.
