The financial capital of the world has just elected a Muslim socialist mayor, less than two-and-a-half decades after both World Trade Center towers were destroyed by a bunch of Muslims.

I know that people have a knack for not learning a damned thing, but come the fuck on.

But wow, what an intersection of mass-murdering ideologies, huh? Muslim and socialist, both at the same time. Imagine the aura of death that comes off of that guy.

I thought that it was legally not allowed for a person to hold office in the United States if they identified as a Communist, in the interest of national security. But it seems they can get around this by instead claiming to be socialist, which is basically identical.

The left practicing equivocation? Imagine my shock!

New York City voters, with the help of a huge number of voters who resided in the city for less than ten years, has just voted in Democrat Zohran Mamdani, who in a recent interview avoided condemning the phrase “globalize the intifada”.

If you’re wondering what “the intifada” is, that’s the repeated bombing of mass transportation, and other terror attacks, in Israel. Mamdani avoided directly condemning that, rather than flat out calling the intifada wrong, like any sane man who knows what that is, especially when presented with the prospect of globalizing that bullshit.

So now, the country is split between those who want to speedrun the destruction of western civilization, and those who want to save them from themselves. Or at least save everyone else from them.

To be honest, I’m starting to lose interest in saving stupidity from itself, and am leaning more in favor of rendering the stupid incapable of causing further harm.

One way of going about it is rendering those who receive public assistance in the form of programs like SNAP ineligible to vote for a few years after the last date in which they receive the assistance. But Democrats would get in the way, considering their obvious incentives to keep people on the public dole.

The “more free stuff for losers” vote is huge.

Best thing that can happen over the next few years is for the damage that Mamdani does to NYC is minimal, which is unlikely considering socialism’s extensive track record of causing immense casualties, before New Yorkers decide “we tried, let’s move on to something that actually works”.

But I’m not betting on it, because stupid people avoid learning their lessons with more passion than they avoid AIDS. And because I’ve worked in grocery and retail longer than what’s good for my mental health, I know that there’s a fuck-ton of stupidity out there.
