WaPo reporter claims concerns over shoplifting is a “moral panic,” manages to sound dumber with their explanation why
Ancestral sin is an immoral concept where Liberals like to pretend that people they don’t like should be held accountable for actions practiced by someone else. However, the problem with that is that moral action and the law cannot be applied retroactively. And if future generations could charge individuals for ancestral crime - we would be living in a very barbaric society that would not only be abhorrent, but completely asinine.
But even if none of that were true, what this Washington Post columnist said is so naive and so foolish, that you wonder how she can even put complete sentences together given how objectively stupid she is.
A Washington Post reporter said that shoplifting is not a big deal because Americans are living on “stolen land.”
According to The New York Post:
A new Washington Post report suggested that the crime problem in major American cities has grown into a “moral panic.”
Post culture reporter Maura Judkis authored the piece in the paper’s Style section on Friday, with the headline “The zombie CVS, a late-capitalism horror story.”
She wrote, “Everything else that remains in the store in Northwest D.C., which is not much, is under plexiglass: Dawn dish soap, L’Oreal shampoo, MiraLax, a handful of Clairol root touch-up hair dye kits, flu season combo packs of DayQuil and NyQuil. The diapers are behind the counter. The Cetaphil and Neutrogena face washes are under lock and key.”
“Other shelves, stretching entire aisles, are totally empty,” Judkis added.
Though, rather than reflect on the crime that has forced this store and stores in other major U.S. cities to close, the reporter delved how these crimes are being seized upon by conservatives trying to stoke fear about crime waves.’’
“It became a horror story of Late Capitalism,” she wrote, adding that “the empty CVS had somehow become a stand-in for all that is wrong with American cities — and liberals (and liberal democracy?) — in 2024.”
It is a “Horror story of Late Capitalism” because in socialist societies stealing is the status quo. You take from others and give to those who do not deserve it. So by definition, this would not be a “horror” in a socialist economy, but rather an everyday occurrence.
The reporter continued, implying that there is ancestral guilt about stealing and colonization at play in this “moral panic.”
Judkis wrote, “America is a sticky-fingered nation built on stolen land, and its current moral panic is about shoplifting. It’s not just a worry in Columbia Heights. All over the country, from sea to shining CVS, there are concerns about petty theft.”
Citing the Advisory Neighborhood Commission’s Carlo Perri, she wrote, “First, there are the economic factors triggering human need: joblessness, inflation, a slow recovery from the pandemic. There have also been changes to how police officers do their jobs — ‘a dearth in active policing,’ as Perri puts it.”
Inflation does not cause a shoplifting apocalypse, a lack of morals and a culture of lawlessness does. And it’s incredibly insulting to correlate shoplifting with unfavorable economic factors because not every poor person shoplifts. Just because someone is not rich, does not mean they commit crimes and it’s incredibly naive to suggest such a statement.
But her article is a great example of saying a lot while saying nothing at all. Nothing she says has any substance and is a superficial lie, at best.
On top of that, this is also a great example of how Liberals physically refuse to take accountability for anything and constantly cast blame for other people's abhorrent actions on everyone else. It’s always someone else's fault. But if you have to try that hard to dance around accountability in an effort justify lawlessness, you are part of the problem.
What do you think she would say if someone were to steal all her belongings and property in her house? That it was perfectly fine due to the ancestral sin of living on stolen land? Because I beg to differ.
That said, her lack of knowledge in regards to economics and history is comical and it would be highly beneficial for her career if she were to tone down the arrogance to a level that does not blatantly scream how naive she is.
