average public meeting comment: "I worked hard all my life to be able to afford to live in my Upper East Side co-op that I inherited from my grandfather. And now, you're going to let hundreds of lazy leeches move into our neighborhood, just because they checks notes have cancer?"

If you posted this photo somewhere with no caption, people would say "wow, people these days have no manners! this wouldn't have happened back in my day!" and it would be hillarious

lotta words here buddy, but have I got the gist of it that you think it is "bullshit" of me to say "people should follow through on their rhetoric"?

Fauxgressive and fauxcialist are also good terms to use

Progressives (and I am one) love to declare "XYZ is a right!" and then do little to supply XYZ. "Right to an eviction attorney!" and then there are no attorneys. "Housing is a human right! ... but no, not housing here, that would change the neighborhood character. There are thousands of vacant houses in West Virginia, go live there."
