Los Angeles has always loved to call itself “the future.” But when it comes to building real friendships, that future looks cold, empty, and shallow. One woman tried for years to find friends in LA. Guess what finally gave her a social life? Not activism. Not fancy brunches or virtue signaling. It was dogs. That’s right: man’s best friend did what LA’s glittering society couldn’t. Maybe that says it all.
This is what happens when a city, run into the ground by leftist policies and Hollywood fantasies, forgets the basics about being human. People walk around glued to their screens, eyes averted, too busy pretending to change the world on Instagram. The old rituals of neighborliness have been replaced by narcissism and self-promotion. No wonder someone’s dog has more friends than they do. At least dogs don’t judge your politics or pontificate about climate change while sipping overpriced oat milk lattes.
Let’s be honest. The kind of friendship this woman found with her dogs is a sharp rebuke to the empty, globalist culture infecting LA. Liberals want to remake society, but they can’t even build a local community. Instead of strong, honest relationships, you get superficial connections and fake smiles that evaporate the moment you need real help. When basic human connection becomes so rare that only a pack of golden retrievers can break the ice, you know the left’s so-called progress has failed.
Of course the dogs are popular. Unlike LA elites, they’re loyal, genuine, and unpretentious. They don’t care if you voted for Trump or if you refuse to worship Saint Fauci. They greet everyone with enthusiasm instead of looking for a reason to cancel you. These dogs succeeded where the liberal social scene miserably failed.
Here’s a thought: maybe our country needs more golden retrievers and fewer golden globes. Let’s return to basics—respect, loyalty, community—values the left seems determined to erase. Liberal-run cities like LA keep pushing woke policies, and all they’ve achieved is a place where people are lonely, desperate, and looking to pets for a sense of family. If that doesn’t raise alarms, what will? Maybe it’s time to ask: are American values going to the dogs—or is that the only place they’re still alive?
