I undergo a sort of existential crisis when I see things like this. I'm hit with all kinds of different emotions and feelings when I'm forced to confront the fact that some of these rich fucks genuinely truly believe the propaganda they receive about socialists. Among them are rubes so truly poisoned by propaganda that they think they need to flee the city to escape impending socialist executions or some shit.
It's very difficult to accept that people with enormous wealth are this stupid. It makes me question reality in a way that's very difficult to describe. Their interpretation of the world is genuinely like an alien thing.
I'm glad they're scared, but it is strange to witness in real time.
We're not bringing out the Central Park Guillotine with this primary win, but they legit believe that they can't safely live in New York anymore. Like they don't have layers upon layers of social protections to insulate them from their consequences.
I mean it makes sense the way they regard homelessness, but to see them buying all of these lies wholeheartedly. To be that out of touch with reality.
I still see them as evil more than foolish, but damn what a waste of the time and resources at their disposal. What an utter lack of curiosity. They could've gotten the best education in the world to leverage their power in the most effortless ways, but they see a mayor winning a primary and they're heading for the hills.
This is a win, but still. Weird.
They think the poor are going to rise up and abuse them, because that's what they've done with their power. Now that they are about to lose their power, they assume the new power holders will treat them the same way they treated others. They think everyone else is as evil as they are.
