It is kinda the same vibe with homeless transients. They get treated like some holy hindu cows by liberals. But the homeless don't give one fuck about the people running cover for them at all. They will just steal your shit and tell you to fuck off. Which just tells me that these defenders somehow got convinced that the destruction of their own communities is some kind of glorious revolution of feeedom against the evil oppression of common decency and civil standards.

this will sound awful, but i have more respect for tbe homeless men and women you’re referring to than pop culture liberals. (i differentiate between liberals, classic liberals, and pop culture liberals)
pop culture liberals live for the romance of the narrative, not reality. And they get very angry when you suggest the B rated netfix special they think is reality isn’t real.
Speaking of declining Urban areas, i personally believe that is an intentional scam to collapse property values, and buy them up to create centrally controlled smart cities. Open Societies money involved.
