vict7··on China is betting that the West is in irreversible decline
Understood. I will refrain. Is there something about my comment that's more political than the ones above it? Like I guess I used a lot of buzzwords instead of vague political terms.

Thanks for the source! Just finished the first one.

Here's two articles from within the last calendar year.

Identify politics has been on the rise for a long time. The right heavily contribute to identity politics. See: openly racist GQP leaders, transgender bathroom ban, mexican "caravans" conveniently appearing in the news around election time, satanic panic, homophobia, muslim ban, "Kung flu".

In no way can you place the blame for the rise of identity politics squarely on progressives. I get the feeling that most people opposed to a more fair and equitable society are the ones currently benefitting the most from inequity.

Just curious. How do you feel about Alabama advancing its "creation science" bill? Clearly, unequivocally there are reactionary trends taking us far in the opposite direction you say we are going.

I will always take the path of science over the path of superstition and manufactured grievances.

Why do I get the feeling that 'unpopular' is just a euphemism for 'racist' here. You're saying you want to cancel cancel culture?

Like look, I'll give you that there exist an incredibly small fraction of people that actually embody the spectre you are trying to conjure here. We have so so many more pressing issues in this country than fear of wokeness--like the rise of domestic white-supremacist terrorism.

No, the miniscule strides made towards a more equitable society are not the issue. We laser focused on the generation of profit for the few at the expense of everything and everyone else. Where do you get your news? OAN?

What sort of eugenicist bs is this. Do you have a single source to back up these claims?
