Leftism will always pursue and attempt to termite-colony everything that has ever been made yes
It must be resisted internally, but people must expand wherever possible, especially hostile frontiers, in order to pursue every avenue to shrug it off, no pun intended
People don't like space, it's Reddit or cope or whatever, but humans *must* conquer space. The more humans sit in their comfortable city they've built, looking no farther, the more this process of domesticating them always begins to overtake them
The most insane part of this "argument," especially from the left, is *there is no argument*
If people want to go choke on dust on Mars, there is no reason to stop them. The only reasons that can be ginned up is you don't want them to leave, they're supposed to be your subjects
You go to space as a rightist for the same reason the Sagan Reddit-lords always said, the "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" argument
If a too-comfortable Earth is at risk of domesticating humanity, you *want* to expand into dangerous, deadly places
This is I think what a lot of @Outsideness gets at, or at least it should be, that you *want* a maximum of environments, and thus a maximum fracturing of peoples, resuming the hell-baking process that is necessary for all higher life
A process that was disrupted by the wild revolutionary inventions of the 17th century, when humanity peaked, which soon lead to genetic stagnation, and now the dysgenic process we face today
We must pursue Martians for the very reasons modern humans most loathe this idea
This concludes my "Why Mars Is Based" manifesto. Please clap.

Lmao, this would actually work. The regime is extremely weak against civil disobedience, that's a huge part of how it attained legitimacy to begin with
I dunno how you convince an entire group of modern women to do this. But it would create a brutal firestorm
What are they gonna do? Shove all the actual women into the pool? Work their legs up and down until they finish the race?
It would be the Montgomery Bus Boycott of women's sports. In such a situation, what is the regime's move?
"Denounce them all as transphobic, mount a massive media campaign against a few individuals, and try to ruin all of their lives," is what they would do
Well, okay. But what if people just kept doing it anyway? It's not like they all have millions of dollars on the line.
It feels crazy to see a state gov recommending prophylactic and early treatments that we know get results but are almost completely ignored by the regime. This is like a PSA from Alternate America
Coordinating around this message could be a huge win for Red States
Barring some way to push the R0 below 1—which no policy, vaccine, or medical treatment to date has been able to do—there is no way to stop an endemic disease, that everyone will eventually come in contact with
But there are real ways to make people more resilient against it
Like, as suggested in this PSA, vitamin D, zinc, and exercise
And yes perhaps even the vaccine, in the high-risk groups. But that is at absolute best only *part* of a rational, even Scientific! approach, that the regime is currently neglecting altogether
Forget if I've said this on the timeline, but all of the vax stuff collapses by the time they start trying to mandate the 4th shot. It might not even survive the first booster
This is something of an intelligence test for the regime. If they keep it to the original 2, they pass
You can talk a lot of people into getting the first brand-new miracle vaccine (mRNA!). A lot of people still trust The Science, or will just go with the flow
But the more boosters you man-date, the more you admit your miracle isn't one. It is a comically self-undermining process
I fully believe this. There is a hard core, maybe as much as 25-33%, of people who will get 3 boosters a year if that's what the Powers insist on
But the middle is squishy, and will grow increasingly incensed with each new man-date
Allowing Skid Rows, aka "Functional Homeless Districts," might be based
But this has nothing to do with "housing stock." Homelessness isn't some modern phenomenon, it's existed for 500+ years. Cities used to just evict them. They'd go live in homeless camps *outside* the cities
Of course, this was only possible back when even *cities* had distinct, enforceable borders. Once those borders were erased, there was no way to just toss the bums out
Hence the creation of Functional Homeless Districts. Which were later dynamited, in the name of progress
This progressive belief in human interchangeability holds that the homeless are just "down on their luck" or actively victimized, and could easily rejoin productive society if we just poured enough resources into them to restore their functionality through the magic of money
Since liberalism is the process of freeing yourself from any and every responsibility as an infringement on your rights and freedoms as a fully liberated individual, its end state can only result in anti-natalism and thus self-destruction
The high fertility of the nobles/high burghers during the Middle Ages/Renaissance is almost certainly what *led* to liberalism, an exploding middle class of people who demanded more representation of their abilities through republics and (very quickly) more direct democracies
Now that liberalism has reached its logical End State, and is no longer interested in reproducing itself, let alone expanding the middle class born from the same age that birthed its beliefs, it makes perfect sense that it's over, ready to be overtaken by some new ideology
