There’s a bizarre vein of voyeuristic narcissism that runs through the heart of the American Left, in which every tragedy across the world, observed, of course, from afar, is somehow actually about them.

No one is more demonstrative of this mind-blowing selfishness than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who responded to the explosion of deadly protests in Iran, which intensified following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody, by comparing the radical Islamic dictatorship of Iran to an imaginary collection of nefarious men in the United States who remain hell-bent on stopping women from murdering their unborn babies.
