Objectively, some of the worst civil unrest this year occurred in the whitest metros in the US (Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis) — how do you reconcile this?

As someone who lives and works in downtown NOLA, the city’s demographic makeup was definitely on my mind when things began to pop off this summer. I thought for sure they’d burn this B down, only to see for myself that what *LITTLE* “unrest” there actually was came almost exclusively from disgruntled white kids from New Jersey/Connecticut who don’t wear deodorant. These are transient types who leave after 2-3 years. By 2030, they’ll be far from NOLA at some suburban school board meeting in TX loudly opposing gender norms. They’re coming for ya!

The self-loathing white liberal is who you really need to fear, and don’t be so naive to think the decline of cities like NOLA, Chicago, St Louis, Detroit, etc cannot be very quickly be replicated in other American cities. It’s already happening — look around you.
