Progressivism is deterritorialized idolatry. It instinctively attacks any firm ground. We see its limitations lately in two attack vectors that seem to lack purchase.
Firstly, progressive zeal is attempting to attack family formation (traditional, pre-1945 family formation) by doing what it does and attempting to iterate the locus into something untenable.
We see this very clearly in what could be described as "moving goalposts." These arguments occur every time one engages a progressive actor on age of consent or marriage.
Secondly, they are trying to find angles of attack on the frogs, who are (loosely) defined as a bunch of high quality young men.
They do this through infiltration action (popular zoomer face, "edgy" philosofarts, enthusiastic "female" and "brown" wignattery, etc), and their goal is to reduce frogs to low status.
They hit their limit here, however, because "cool" cannot be fabricated by losers and they can't recruit interesting or creative lackeys anymore thanks to progressive "representation" dogma, etc.
They are A/B testing these angles still, so don't let down your guard. Notice they no longer post "dox" pictures for frog leaders because they got mogged.
If there is something of value, they will try to destroy it, but they cannot destroy reality so they try to work around it. Be of good aesthetic, cheer, and disposition, and never concede an inch to the wreckers.

This is correct, and why "conservatives" lose. If you can't stop the tells from redefining "racism" every decade or two to its advantage, what can you possibly win by defeating CRT?
"oh, you're just being postmodernist because you're a leftist" or something - the IDW
If you can't say, "we need to purge our educational system of anyone and everyone to the left of Andrew Jackson" you don't really understand what's going on and will only "win" a fleeting respite at best.
I do consider myself fairly economically populist (left economically ideologically if you need that frame), but this sort of nauseous midwittery is making me reconsider.
I wonder, what came first, progressivism taking over the bureaucracy, or progressivism taking over capital?
This is the tell that the whole "debate" is a total MacGuffin. Owning is obviously better than renting *for people who are capable,* but a lot of the people buying homes are not naturally inclined.
As with all our b*llsh*t "debates" on here, this is easy downstream of anything that matters. If you're upset about this stuff and you're reading any of my tweets, you're misguided. You absolutely can buy a nice/decent house on a middle class income right now*
This might be changing with inflation, immigration, etc, and there are some markets where it's impossible, but *right now* you can do this.
Investment Capital buying up homes to rent is partly to dodge a repeat of the subprime crisis, imo. The problem is human capital and governance (30 year fixed rate seems...unnatural).
"oh, we're going to make sure that people do are totally incapable of paying a mortgage can live outside the hood" can only take so many paths before running into religious conflicts.
Blackrock is buying 200k homes in mediocre neighborhoods? Buying nice homes in nice neighborhoods? Buying old homes? New? My mortgage (with taxes) isn't much higher than the rent on an apartment 2/3 the size of my house around here.
What hadn't occurred to me until now is that an old argument I've seen and used, that "green" people are actually watermelons (environmental veneer on communist center) is an insufficient explanation of the green movement.
The green movement is now circling in on a divine (unfalsifiable) locus (human driven climate change) that is reverse engineering Gaia worship. If you view "environmentalism" as an idea or ideology encompassing healthy stewardship of nature, you're going to be exasperated.
