Every leftist revolution eventually eats its own, because no one can remain woke enough to stay ahead of the curve — not even a lifelong communist-sympathizing socialist like Bernie Sanders. The outfit he wore at the inauguration that inspired so many hilarious memes proves that he has committed the ultimate political sin by manifesting “privilege,” according to an op-ed written by a San Francisco high school teacher.

From the New York Post:

Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, a former UC Berkeley professor, wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that the Vermont senator’s choice of recycled wool mittens was integrated into her class discussion on US diversity and discrimination.

Regular Americans saw a nasty old commie begging for ridicule. Here’s what Seyer-Ochi saw:

“A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.”

Sanders is wealthy, all right. Socialism has been very good to him. If Sanders et al. are able to impose the regime of their dreams, they will be wealthier still, as the rest of us eat our pets, as in Venezuela.

The senator, she said, “manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel.”

The sacred unprivileged would not have been allowed to dress so casually, according to Seyer-Ochi.

“I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie,” she said.

If Sanders doesn’t struggle to be taken seriously, why did Democrats have to use Biden as a figurehead to impose his economic agenda, rather than just run Sanders himself?

From Berkeley prof to high school teacher is an interesting career trajectory. Maybe it is possible to be too flaky even for Berkeley.
