Emma Vigeland: The Desire to Feel Safe on Public Transit Is Bourgeois

EXCERPT:

VIGELAND: “But I would — but, like, my fear is not the primary — primary object of, like, what we should be focusing on right now. It’s the fact that this person is in pain. And so, like, the politics of dehumanization, privileges, the bourgeois kind of concern of people’s, like, immediate discomfort in this narrow, narrow instance, as opposed to larger humanity and life. It’s really freaking twisted.”
