[NYPOST] The modern crop of American leftist revolutionaries are a curious bunch. These are the children of the high bourgeoisie, often women, "cosplaying" the revolution until they get arrested and suddenly playtime turns into hard time.
For a growing list of Chick Guevaras, real legal consequences are following from what they thought would be a frolicking freedom fight — and how they react reveals much about their privilege.
Take Kathryn Patterson, arrested during the troubles in Lancaster, Pa., last week. She is a sorority sister at a fancy private college. Wealthy parents. A very charmed life. That is, until the white guilt kicked in, and it was time to allegedly participate in violent mostly peaceful riots. Patterson’s case is similar to that of the Upper East Side’s own Clara Kraebber, another rich debutante type taking up class struggle. |
