It does seem like a lot of this shit is accelerating, across much of the West...

I guess we could say "Election Year" (or "Olympic Year" for France), but I don't think that's an adequate explanation...

I honestly think that TPTB waited, saw how easily everyone forgot the egregious rights violations (and actual rights violations, in that instance) of Covid, and forgot the "Summer of Love", and so they've decided to really... "Up the ante", this year.

As another example, statue teardowns would never have been allowed in Aus, even five years ago, especially when conducted by vigilante mobs, and yet, because people keep voting for the left-wing fucks who want that to happen, we've now seen an appalling example of that, in the last week...

And there's no pushback, so it won't stop. Nor will the pronoun/"misgendering" police, nor will the authoritarian creep (needing a QR code on your phone to enter Paris during the Olympics, for example).

It's all getting worse, and no one (outside places like New Caledonia) is doing anything to push back.

Frog boiling indeed.
