Urban Progressive Privilege: Boundaries

One of the most futile memes in the conservative alternative media is “If this were happening to (fill in a democrat, or Democrats), this would he treated as a hate crime”.

It’s futile because the people who care have no power, and the people in power don’t care.

Still and all, it applies.

A protester – inoculated from blame in some quarters by being an “immigrant youth” – followed Kristen Sinema into a rest room at Arizona State (where SInema teaches) to…

…well, badger her:

And while the meme is threadbare, the fact remains – if anyone were to do this to Ilhan Omar or Tide Pod Evita, this would be treated by the media as a hate crime, accompanied by “think”Pieces about the vanishing of civility.

  1. It’s more than a meme. Filming someone in a bathroom without consent is a class 5 felony in Arizona. In a sovereign country governed by the rule of law, the illegal immigration activist at ASU would be prosecuted for that crime and deported. Convicted criminals do not have a “pathway to citizenship.”

    On the other hand, in for a penny (being an illegal immigrant, a misdemeanor), in for a pound (committing a felony). As if anything will be enforced.

    Laws and their enforcement exist primarily for white people.

    Maybe they can charge a violation of the Logan Act or the Boland Amendment or somesuch.

  3. The is a classic left wing socialist tactic. It worked on Jeff Flake, so they keep doing it. One day, one of these mobs is going to confront the wrong person, with tragic results.

  4. Three things:
    One. This woman is best described, not as an illegal alien or an undocumented immigrant, but as a Mexican citizen.
    Two. This woman did not learn to treat people inhumanely at home. She learned it at university.
    Three. If this had been an anti-abortion activist confronting a pro-abortion senator this way, that activist would be in jail. But the anti-abortion activist may feel morally justified, since he or she would believe that he or she was working to prevent the murder of innocent human beings. This Mexican citizen shit ball did what she did to promote her self-interest.

  6. Best part of this episode: the number of leftists writing/speaking/tweeting about why this harassment is understandable – hell, acceptable given the stakes which have NEVER been higher. Embarrassing
