The most retarded concept you've ever heard yet.
"Peak leftist retardation" is a myth. There is no peak, and the potential is infinite.
That was one of my red pills - realizing progressivism has no end goal. Only constant struggle.
Yep, not like they're going to pack up shop one day and say that's enough progress. Gotta keep the money flowing into the PACs.
You got that exactly right. That's why they can reverse themselves on nearly every major issue over the course of years or decades, and still be 'progressive'.
Progressives, or rather leftists, in my country used to be anti-immigraton, because it depresses workers' wages, pro-car, because they wanted every worker to have a car, anti-war, critical of Big Pharma, critical of the weapons industry. Needless to say, there is none of that anymore.
That's every country not just yours leftists all follow the same marching orders
And they call those eternal struggles and advances "waves", meaning there will never, ever, EVER be an end.
Ice read modern Chinese history. They really had to pull in the army to stop rampaging youths who were calling each other Bourgeoisie.
It's not nonfiction but three body problem is incredibly based in the way that they depict communism being so fucking awful that someone really does contact the aliens and tell them to just kill us all because nothing could be worse than living under a communist rule
Semi non fiction is To Live by Zhang Yimou. It's on YouTube and has excellent cinematography and acting. The scene with the nurses made me think about COVID.
Actually, a lot of Zhang Yimou has stuff about Chinese Communism and dealing with it. Some of it is indirect, but has symbolism bleeding about it.
He also made stuff like House of Flying Daggers.
