You can explain quite a lot just by noticing that progressives think wealth is the default and poverty is caused by abuse, when obviously poverty is the default and wealth anywhere is a miracle

Leftists genuinely believe that you can’t tell how serious an armed robbery is until the exact moment that the assailant opens the wallet at home and discovers how much money is in it. That’s what they really believe. You do not have to take these people seriously.

Regular progressives never understood evolution. They liked it because they thought the fact that we "came from monkeys" knocked humans down a peg, which they're always game for, and because it annoyed conservatives, but in practice they reject everything they learn about it.

Something I absolutely love about every Chinese coworker I’ve ever had is that they just pick an American name and never ever make a big deal about it. Even if you offer to use their actual name, they’ll change the subject. *That* shows confidence and betrays a strong identity.

“He only stole $9” is equivalent to “the Houthi pirates didn’t even kill anyone” or “most of Hamas’ rockets are intercepted.” Leftists really think of being incompetent and ineffectual as a mitigating factor.

This comes from an actual case where a habitual felon violently assaulted a man for his wallet. This robbery got him life in jail for being a habitual criminal, and showing escalation from non-violent to violent crimes. The left sold it as “he only stole $9 😢”

For years YIMBYs used a "used car" analogy to explain why allowing more housing lowers the price of older houses. Imagine, we'd say, what would happen to the price of used cars if the supply of new cars were constrained. And then in 2020 it literally happened exactly like that.
