He is, in effect, a perpetual theatre kid who’s pretending to be “Third World.” It’s all so, so performative + stupid. https://t.co/dO14GmFMDI

Mao, Che, Pol Pot, on and on it goes.I'm watching older clips of Zohran Mamdani and I've seen him numerous times defend his proposals by claiming "What has worked in the rest of the world will work in our city."

This is not terrible AI, it's a real message from the current frontrunner for NYC Mayor to his socialist comrades.

“Growing up in post-apartheid South Africa, one of the most natural things to wear on my body was the kheffiya.”
Zohran lived in South Africa for two years when he was 5 years old.

You know man ...... we are all set in our ideological ways.... and we aint really open to changing our worldviews.
I know I'm heavily invested in the notion that Capitalism breeds superior outcomes for everyone that Communism or heavy handed socialism.
But I also know that there are large groups of people in America, down somewhat regional lines that hate me as am individual as much as I hate them.
So if you combine those thought processes ..... why would we NOT want the people of New York to live with the consequences of voting their consciences?
I mean I look at New York City the same way I've always looked at Venezuela or Cuba. Those people have the types of Government they deserve. I mean they really loved Chavez and Castro ...... and they all suffered for it.
I've never felt any obligation to save them from themselves. In fact its great theater. I enjoy seeing them, people that hate me, suffer.
So, I really hope Zohran wins a clear mandate to enact all his dream policies for NYC. And all those New Yorkers that want a little bit in Communism and Islamism in their lives get all they want.
How can we be so confident that our preferred economic / social system are truly superior, if we dont get to see the other side's vision come to an unfettered comparison.
I mean if rich white New Yorkers have to flee with their money ....... where they gonna go?
They're gonna run to the arms of successful Red States. Leaving New York city a bigger Detroit.
Unless of course, we're wrong, and Zohran's policies are a smashing economic / social success. He turns NYC around and makes it a magnet for all the Leftists currently in Redder areas ..... and they all migrate there.
Sounds like a Win / Win to me.
Hey RT, I saw, in an older post, you're reading Diaspora by Greg Egan.
That is one of the better books I have ever read.
It is not easy to get through. And, without giving anything away, the ending is sad, but feels appropriate to the world view the author seems to espouse.
Ultimately, it is an amazing thought experiment.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, when you are finished.
