#157 // Zineb Riboua | How Zohran Mamdani Became The Mayor Of New York City

from Orthodoxy · host Schmitt Media Company LLC

Zohran Mamdani was just elected to be the next Mayor of New York City. How did an anti-American, anti-Capitalism, anti-Jew, anti-Western millennial become the most powerful person in the largest city in the United States? I wanted to know. So, I talked with Zineb Riboua – a research fellow with Hudson Institute’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East. She’s written extensively on the Middle East and the ongoing power struggles in one of the most violent and unstable regions in the world. But what does Middle Eastern politics have to do with New York City and Zohran Mamandi? Zineb argues that the ideology that led the Left to believe that Israel and Britian were the fundamentally evil powers in Europe and the Middle East because of their “colonialization” is the same ideology that Zohran used to capture the attention and votes of the suicidal Democratic ideologues in New York City. The younger generations white colonialization guilt and Third Worldism philosophy were key factors in Zohrans ability to manipulate the American people in the largest city in the country to vote for a self-proclaimed Marxist Socialist. So, what happens to New York City next? Will it sprout into a utopia or fall into oblivion? Here’s my conversation with Zineb Riboua.
