So these luxury beliefs are essentially beliefs that are espoused by the upper middle class because they are -in general- not impacted by the consequences of said beliefs. Most of the woke stuff belongs to this group of beliefs. For example, liberals, by large, are worried more about the future of girls than boys -but only when the boys in question are not theirs. Then suddenly they actually worry as much as conservatives.
Another case is the de-fund the police. It has been a very popular thing in later years after George Floyd -with foreseeable consequences where it was tried.
And now there is Shivanthi Sathanandan, who actively campaigned against the police.
Until, that is, four armed men beat her up in front of her family and stole her car. And now she is quite pro-policing, proving the old saying that a conservative is a liberal who got mugged. It is quite ironic, I guess. It is not nice to laugh at others' misfortune, but in this case I guess a mild sense of satisfaction of having seen the person facing, what she is advocating for for other people, is somewhat justified. I think she thought police was only important for poor people, and her words would have no effect on her own personal life. Suddenly she feels that it is important to have police presence. Obviously the whole conservative media is having a field day with this, and rightly so-, while the left side of the media keeps quite silent on it.
What I would put large sums on, however, is that her political career will not suffer for this, and she will not be forced to face the apparent hypocrisy in the sudden change of tune. She -and others- can just continue with other idiocy without actually considering what they are advocating for. (Just mentioning that her photo under her statement does not really look real -the blood looks more like red wine, and while the makeup is perfect, no smears, no tear marks, nothing, there is also no swelling. If you want to see how someone who got hit on the head looks like, well, google it - it is quite different. I mean sure, it was a nasty experience, but you do not have to make it look even worse for a little more drama, eh?)
