• UnHerd,
  • a U.K.-based ​“heterodox” opinion website
    • founded by a Brexit supporter,
  • covered the movement in a piece titled ​
    • “Twilight of the American Left.”
• To the post-left,
  • explained contributor Park MacDougald,
• the real U.S. ruling class is a Democratic oligarchy that uses
  • the threat of creeping fascism and
  • white nationalism
• to consolidate power, and deploys
  • “‘identity politics,’ -​‘antiracism,’
  • ​‘intersectionality’ and
  • other pillars of the progressive culture war” as ​
• “mystifications whose function is to
  • demoralize and
  • divide the proletariat.”
• Leftists, in this view, merely serve as that regime’s ​“unwitting dupes.”

for left-to-right sliders - complex reasons

“We’re seeing people turn right for a number of different reasons,” - argues journalist Eoin Higgins, - author of a forthcoming book on formerly left-wing journalists - who’ve aligned with reactionary tech billionaires. ​

• “There are
  • financial incentives, there are
  • attention incentives, there are
  • culture war differences as people are becoming more conservative on culture; there’s
  • a sense of being betrayed by progressives and the Left.
• There are so many different reasons that
• reducing this to people
  • going too far [left] and
  • going to the Right
• is an oversimplification.

Summary - Once leftist thought leaders - like reporter Matt Taibbi - are appearing to shift right - Once writing about Occupy Wall Street for the Rolling Stones and now - appearing in the right-wing Epoch Times. - Other examples are: - David Horowitz - Once a sponsor of In These Times magazine now author of the book: - Blitz: Trup Will Smash the Left and Win - Christopher Hitchens - Joined the religious nationalists he long derided - Comedians - Dave Chappelle - Roseanne - Russell Brand - who make fun of, traffic in and deride - Trans people, - pandemic <br /> - pedophille conspiracy theories - Robert Kennedy Junior

for - left-to-right slider - Naomi Wolf

In similar fashion, Naomi Wolf ​’s path - from a liberal third-wave feminist writer of ​“big ideas” books - to - a regular guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room and - Fox News - began— or perhaps sped up — with a career humiliation. - As Naomi Klein recounts in her recent book Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World, - the premise of Wolf’s 2019 book Outrages collapsed on live air - over a misunderstanding of an archaic legal term. - By 2021, Wolf had emerged as a key purveyor of Covid-19 conspiracy theories, warning that - ​“vaccine passports equal slavery forever.

for - quote - commonality between far left and far right - key insight

If there’s a commonality between far Left and far Right, says Lyons,

• it’s a common opposition to the status quo
  • but one that’s based on fundamentally different reasons.

• for: left / right polarization - transcending

• comment

  • What James is saying is that we must be wise enough to:
    • understand the attractors of each party so that
    • whole system change agents can navigate away from being coopted into the existing polarization
  • This requires a very strong and clear understanding of the direction whole system change requires and staying on course
  • It's very insightful to study how coopting occurs in real-life

• for: Lessons from COVID

  • Left position to avoid driving masses to the hard right

• quote

  • i think this is important in the kind of what the left posture is to regime and system breakdown which it is experiencing has to be anti-regime

• paraphrase

  • otherwise the anti-regime forces go to the hard right and
    • if the left follows the left wing of the management state which is trying to technocratically limit the catastrophe of breakdown,
    • it will never get popular support that's basically what happened during COVID.
      • the hard right denied science, the left went begging the administrative state and as a consequence, there was a massive expansion of the right around the globe

It was the Socialist Zionists that perpetrated the Nakba ([[BenGTurion]]).

Why are Republicans always trying to use the "radical Left" as the boogeyman and painting the entirety of the Democratic party with it? Gingrich knows full well that there are marginal voices on the far left just as there are on the far right. Why are Republicans always painting with such a broad brush and not supporting their arguments with actual facts?

I'm curious just which specific things Gingerich thinks they're doing that will make us "less free" or "less safe"? For comparison, maybe we should look at decades of "trickle down economics" and see if those work? I suspect Gingrich and Miller would say yes, but mountains of evidence indicate we're not measurably better off.

Divya Ahlawat was simply stating the facts - Liberal councillors did not vote to ban the event, nor did council - but Labor councillors have ensure a course of action which doesn't reflect the decision made by council.

And that's mainly to cover for the stuff up of a departed member of their dominant Left faction. Although he is attached to the hip with Mayor Laxale who has made unfortunate previous comments on social media.

It's amazing that you would have your male mates on one side partially geeing you up on social media to trick you into another story and then on the other hand, you've come along to the event - after pre-writing most of the story - only to hear the previous year's queen debunk the misinformation assembled by your mates.

And then, this year's winner's comments just didn't fit with the story you wanted to do (see further down).

The bad actor problem of the Left

A leftist dared to confront Peterson's work. Good luck to him. We are supposed to criticize Peterson only on the terms imposed by our critics.

How progressive narratives are no longer satisfying.

Interesting.
