'Progressives'

After the scandal involving the ejection of Jewish women carrying Star of David pride flags at Chicago’s Dyke March on June 28, a sister organization in the city has announced that it will follow suit by banning “Zionist displays” from its upcoming protest against sexual violence and “rape culture.”

The ban was announced this week on social media by the organizers of SlutWalk Chicago — part of an international protest movement that “fights rape culture, victim blaming, and slut shaming.” The Chicago event is set to take place on August 12.
Wonder when they'll start issuing their more devoted members some snazzy armbands?


"But lying under oath and submitting false documents and violating borders is different when WE do it!"

From Madam Hoyt:

Enter Marx and his “scientific socialism.”  It wasn’t.  And frankly, anyone who looked into Marx -- who not only didn’t know science from a hole in the ground, and who had many of the things he wrote about already wrong as judged by his contemporary economists -- would have known it wasn’t scientific.

But people wanted to believe it was possible, all the more so after WWI turned Europe into an abattoir and planted doubts about Western civilization.

...

As all the attempts at communist (or to be fair even socialist, though the collapse there was slower) governance failed, and the horrors unfolded for all to see, all these “progressives” turned, with hatred and disgust not against the philosophy that destroyed formerly prosperous countries but against the entities who were, somehow, responsible for their dream not working: the US, Western civilization and, ultimately, humanity.
