Presented by Ben Shapiro For the last decade, radical Left-wing protests have unleashed chaos across our cities. They have vandalized our neighborhoods. They have hijacked our college campuses. There’s nothing new about protest movements, of course. But today, it’s the same people who are constantly marching – they just seem to switch the flags they carry from cause to cause. Radical Muslims, radical LGBTQ+ advocates, communists, anarchists, environmentalists. But virtually all of these causes conflict with other causes in the coalition. “Queers for Palestine,” for example, is a ridiculous and self-contradictory name for a group – and yet it exists, despite the fact that Palestinians throw queers off buildings or drag them behind motorcycles. So, what keeps these disparate radicals on the same side? What unites them? The answer is obvious: the only thing they have in common is hatred of the West and a desire to tear it down. They are, in short, scavengers. Until recently, they have been thwarted by the lions — those who cherish and defend Western Civilization, those who produce more than they take. Elon Musk is a prime example. There are tens of millions of lions, from entrepreneurs and factory workers to your next-door neighbors who work hard every day to provide a better future for their children. But in the last few decades, the scavengers have gained significant ground. So, who are the scavengers? Those who believe — even as they live in a free society — that they have been denied their “fair” share by oppressive systems of power; that those systems are designed by a conspiratorial elite to keep them down. Scavengers come in several forms. Some are looters: those who feel entitled to the fruit of others’ labor. They seek not to earn wealth by creating something of value and being useful. That’s hard. Instead, they take — usually through taxation, but sometimes through actual theft — from those who have done the hard things necessary to achieve success.
