Ah yes.....the old "this is what socialism looks like" argument while pointing at capitalism. Been hearing that a lot lately.

It extends well beyond the US. If you look at the comments on anything Olivia Chow (leftist mayor of Toronto) posts, you'd think that a stroll to the supermarket is comparable to a few laps of Death Race. Sprinkled with thinly veiled racism of course.
The only time I feel unsafe anywhere in Los Angeles is when a cop comes nearby, I try to ride a bike outside of a park, the cloud of tear gas the cops shot starts blowing towards me, when I am too close to orange county, when when I see someone who looks like they're from orange county, when I pass a Tesla, when its 3 am and the taco trucks are all closed and I'm hungry and a little drunk and there's just nothing to be done.
Or when the feds jump out and try to disappear somebody. That's pretty jarring.
