Social media users called out on Thursday the reaction that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) had earlier in the day when he stood next to far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as she claimed that the solution to reducing violent crime was to stop building new prisons. “If we want to reduce violent crime, if we want to reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them,” Ocasio-Cortez said at a press conference. “The answer is to make sure that we actually build more hospitals, we pay organizers, we get people mental health care and overall health care, employment, etc. It’s to support communities, not throw them away.”

Leftist theory has become terminally self-contradictory. Like a snake eating itself, leftism ensures its own doom. Unfortunately, it can take down much of the society with it. Its self-contradictions are numerous. As one begins to add up all the popular leftist causes from the 1960s onward, we find a growing number of striking inconsistencies. For example, the empowerment of women has morphed into the empowerment of men who think they are women, who then displace real women. The concern for the working class has now become concern for illegal aliens, who are displacing the working class by taking jobs at substandard wages. The anti-war movement has become a forever-war movement. The free speech movement is now the practice of censorship. Free health care is now a health dictatorship (enforced mask mandates). Voter access is now voter fraud. College admissions quotas now discriminate against some minorities, especially Asians. Conservative speech is labeled as violence, while leftist violence is labeled speech. The alliance of the left’s various fringe causes is represented by the diversity flag of many colors, supposedly symbolizing unity and harmony.
