Ah, Jemima you clown.
The fact that the left has STOPPED RUNNING FURTHER TOWARD MADNESS doesn't mean all is now well.The fact that the left has STOPPED RUNNING FURTHER TOWARD MADNESS doesn't mean all is now well.
Wokeness peaked in 2022, per The Economist (That @Scoresby and @0xbitcoiner have now discovered are good articles to link to for SN posts; hashtag Den made obsolete; hashtag ruthless dog-eat-monkey competition), so this is of course a welcome observation:
A Gallup poll this month found that the proportion of Democrats who considered changing one’s gender to be “morally acceptable” had dropped by 11 percentage points over the past year alone. A different Gallup poll last year found a 10-point fall since 2021 in the share of Democrats who support transgender athletes competing in sports outside their birth sex. Many brands, meanwhile, have scaled back their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes, due to a lack of support.
Again, these are not equivalent... especially given where we were, just five minutes ago.
The proportion of Americans who believe having a baby outside wedlock is morally acceptable has fallen to 58 per cent, the lowest in 12 years and down from 67 per cent. Just 62 per cent of Americans now consider gay or lesbian relations morally acceptable, the lowest since 2016, while only 83 per cent consider birth control acceptable — the lowest level since polling on that began in 2012, and down seven points on last year.
The conclusion is pretty ridiculous; just because Andrew Tate brags that he moved the Overton window (plausible), it doesn't mean we're back at equal/square-1.
Fiat delenda est. The left (and Strategy, and Boomers) must too.

I wish we could settle in the enormous middle ground between condemning people for consensual behavior and celebrating them for it.
Can we not just stop giving a shit about people’s private lives?
no. You're evil, I gotta fight you.
Good point
