The left is way too concerned with who people “really” are. As if they know anyone’s secret soul. As if anyone could. The immanence of someone’s being is of no concern to me — no, I care about what they do.

Indeed, the one salient fact that can be known about vermin like Decarlos Brown is what he does. Nothing else really matters.

At one time, these beliefs about the unicorn-like inner beings of all humans were probably noble, had some benefit to give to society and the world. Now, though, the left uses these as empty platitudes to enforce a doctrine that inflicts enormous societal costs on all the rest of us. And of course, the expenses of this suicidal faux-empathy fall disproportionately on women. In some ways I believe this is by design. However, it’s mostly the left wanting to appear to be on the side of good and having no real idea what that should look like.

It’s not actually good, though, to allow young women to be murdered when that could easily be prevented. It’s not helping anyone to tolerate crime-ridden neighborhoods beset by human predators. It’s not a benefit to society to jail those who enforce the tenets of civilization on mass transit.

This suicidal empathy is going to get us all killed in the end.
