RIP Progressivism: 2015-2024
When the history books of the progressive era are written, the Sanders campaign will be the first chapter and the Watermelon Freaks will be the final chapter.
We were a quirky, but well meaning political movement that started as a push for universal healthcare and better treatment for minorities.
The problem was, we never came up with any mechanism to regulate our worst ideas. Slowly over the next decade, they became more and more ridiculous. Abolish the police is a great example. Or when corrupt Black Lives Matter leaders were literally stealing $30 million using the name of George Floyd, we didn’t wanna hear anything about it, let we accused of being racist. If declaring your gender with no medical transition and walking into a women’s locker room seemed absurd, it would avoid a lot of headaches to just be silent about it.
Credible progressive leaders like myself were socialized into saying silent, and like a dementia patient, the movement became more and more untethered from reality.
We became such easy, stupid marks, not just unwilling to fact-check anything, but certain we didn’t even have to debate our ideas with the public. And such, we had no defenses when an actual conman came in to hijack our movement.
Funded by Qatar, Russia, and China, foreign antisemites took legitimate criticism of a war, and turned it into a full on war on Jews at home. They formed an uneasy alliance with Islamists, and promised that self-immolating our own country would be the solution to all of our problems. Hell, we became so brainwashed that actually self immolating was praised in the progressive culture.
A steady stream of social media addicted personalities lined up to uncritically bleat nonstop hate for Jews. And like the block that crashes the whole Jenga tower, the public has had enough. Everyone sane is fleeing for the lifeboats while the true believers play on as the Titanic sinks.
The brain cancer is terminal. The patient cannot be saved. Ideas cannot die, and progressive policy ideas will live on. But they will have to wait for a vehicle capable of intellectual honesty and tactics to deliver them.
HOLY CRAP! NAACP lawyer came before the Supreme Court and said the quiet part out loud
Janai Nelson said we need race-based districts because: "white Democrats were not voting for black candidates whether they were Democrats or not!"
This is INSANE.

BREAKING: In an insane move, Justice Ketanji Jackson declares we need to draw Congressional districts based on race because black people are like disabled people
"They don't have equal access to the voting system. They're DISABLED!"
This is utter madness. How did she get on the Supreme Court?!
"My, kind of, paradigmatic example of this is something like the ADA. Congress passed the ADA against the backdrop of a world generally not accessible to people with disabilities...why is that not what's happening here?!"

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says this is only the beginning as the tokenization of everything is underway.
Money, property, and even personal identity will soon exist in digital form.
He calls it a major opportunity for BlackRock, saying the plan is to move beyond traditional financial assets by digitally re-potting them into a new system.

🤖📱 Between empty promises of a billionaire and a social credit system. The “secret” way your behaviour is ranked on X
What is Tweepcred? It’s a reputation system inherited from the days of Twitter, a social credit mechanism built into X, where every like, comment, retweet, or interaction feeds a hidden score. Post the wrong thing, and your reach is throttled, invisible to followers, blocked from the For You Page, and your voice is confined to a digital coffin. The worst part? X won’t even tell us what we’re doing wrong.
Tweepcred was open-sourced two years ago as part of Elon’s big push for “transparency.” The release confirmed what many suspected for over a decade: the system wasn’t neutral. It could be gamified, and it rewarded those who knew how to play it. Industry insiders and large organizations held a massive advantage over individuals, defeating the very purpose of the internet and the cultural revolution that once challenged mass media.

Dear Trump,
We love you and support you— but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher.
We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there” before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last.
We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers.
Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, ...
