#progressivism

[skepticalpigeon]

A big thing in so-called progressive spaces is criticizing women for being suspicious of random men, and insisting that there must be a racist/ableist/classist/anti-homeless bias at play, while conveniently forgetting that the woman in question (any woman) is a marginalised person doing what they can to avoid being hate-crimed (assaulted, raped or murdered) by a member of an oppressor class.

Well, that didn't take long....

Muslims claim New York City for Islam, “We're done hiding. We're done. —This is the correct religion! This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be a part of Islam, and we will not stop until it enters every home. — I wanna hear it in every single district. It should tremble. Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the Ummah depends on this, my brothers and sisters — There is no God worthy of worship except Allah — and final prophet, Mohammad.”

Get out of NYC while you can friends!

New York is COOKED!

I don’t know if it’s more infuriating or depressing that I will be scrolling through a blog on tumblr dot com where it’s clearly very leftist and progressive, and I’m smiling and nodding along with everything they’ve posted so far -

- to then have to abruptly stop and do a 180 take on some anti-vegan, conservative-styled take and stop my brain from convulsing from the astronomical hypocrisy.

The New Yorker cover “Mayor Mamdani” by Edel Rodriguez

“Mamdani spent much of his campaign out and about in the city—visiting bodegas, riding with taxi-drivers, asking questions, dancing, and laughing,” Rodriguez said. “He showed everyone he came across that he is one of them.”

Tip of the ableism iceberg:

So many seemingly left-wing and progressive influencers and political commentators will very often describe their political opponents using ableist terms.

No, your opponent isn't a fascist because they are "less intellectual".

No, your opponent isn't a fascist because of a mental illness.

No, your opponent isn't engaging in self destructive behaviors because they're suicidal.

Your opponent is these things because they are misinformed, because they lack compassion or care for others, or both.

I saw someone comment online that the reason people believe that their side is more tolerant than their political opponent's side is because they never experience what happens when they disagree with their own side.

Children's author JK Rowling however obviously knows exactly what it's like to disagree with her own side. 1970's Feminist icon Germaine Greer also knows what it is like to disagree with her own side. The price is to be pilloried and ostracized; to be excluded from your own media events, and to have honorary doctorates withdrawn .

But Conservatives also know what it is like to disagree with their fellow Conservatives. Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, for example, is pro choice but is accepted by the Conservative movement. We don't flagellate people who agree with us on most issues because they disagree with us on one issue. The modern Left however tolerates no breaking of ranks. Everyone must fall in line with the ideological orthodoxy on every major point or be exiled.
