Here we go again. This is why I really hate progressive politics and find most progressives out in the real world to be obnoxious. Again, I shouldn’t have to keep saying this, but I don’t hate the people, per se, although as I said, a lot of them are just assholes, but I think that’s something that their politics has done to their heads. They’ve earned it through their own actions and lack of critical thought. So here comes part 4.

I’m taking this from The Progressive Promise, which is a platform statement from the House of Representatives. Unfortunately, like all platform statements, what it says doesn’t stand up in actual reality. Yes, I know that this is not what all progressives believe and that it is being stated in the most attractive way possible to attract people to vote for them, but still, this is why I cannot stand any of these positions.

Protecting the fundamental right to organize.

Unless you’re someone they don’t like, then they want to shut you up. That’s the whole point behind them trying to “cancel” people, right? Because we have copious examples from 2020, where Republicans were trying to freely gather, that the far left was trying to stop them. We have examples where they were physically assaulting people who were exercising their Constitutional right to assemble.

Maybe they just forgot about that.

Because we’re even seeing that today. In the video gaming world, Sweet Baby Inc. is a company that exists to force DEI on companies, whether they want it or not. We have videos of the founder saying that you should threaten companies with what will happen to them if they don’t comply. This is extortion. It should not be permitted.

Someone over on Steam put together a group that just listed games with which SWI was involved. It wasn’t secret information, a lot of it came right off of SWI’s own website where they announced it. Yet one of the SWI employees tried to get the group taken down by advocating for false reporting and outright lying. That employee lost their account, as they should. I don’t know for sure, but they’re probably still employed by SWI.

These tactics are incredibly common on the far left. When they say they want freedom, they don’t mean freedom for everyone, they mean freedom for themselves. To be fair, that’s true a lot of the time on the far right too, which is one reason, among many, that I’m not a fan there either.

I expect equality and freedom for everyone, no limits. Both sides say one thing and do something entirely different. Hard pass for me.

It’s really what we found out when Elon Musk bought Twitter. All of the secret censorship, done by the left, came out, along with a lot of government collusion that was going on. That is simply not acceptable, period. The laws need to apply equally to everyone, not just the privileged few, and yes, I know that it doesn’t work that way for a lot of rich people, but it should. One standard for all, remember?

Saying one thing and doing something entirely different is endemic in politics these days and I don’t support it for anyone. Maybe that’s why I don’t support either side anymore, especially not either of the extremes. If you want my support, you need to be respectable and honest and… yeah, they both suck at that, don’t they?
