Why is tradition and progress a paradigm? So many people I speak to, the media I see, or even just the general attitude about “progress” is misleading.

People say “progress” and it means different things to different people. When I think of progress, I think of cancer research, space travel, self driving cars, et cetera. But when other people say progress, they mean paedophilia, genderless bathrooms, forced cringey interracial propaganda, et cetera.

And so in the mainstream consciousness, to be against the latter is also to be against the former. Those opposed to maintaining tradition somehow have this false notion that if you believe that children need a father and mother, then you must be against renewable energy. Or if you don’t want to get raped by a refugee in the street without consequence, you must think the Earth is flat.

They conflate scientific progress with what they believe to be cultural progress. But the truth is their definition is the opposite of progress. Instead it is a deconstruction, reduction, and regression of progress. Degeneracy.

Progress is a very useful term for leftist propagandists
