https://youtu.be/6yjfb7BSMMg I became a Progressive when I thought that Progressivism meant being compassionate. I stopped being a Progressive when I realized that putting massive obligations on strangers through government coercion was not compassion. - Keith Knight, Domestic Imperialism: Nine Reasons I Left Progressivism Watch on BitChute
https://youtu.be/j0cXomWoiVw Focusing on disparities also distracts from focusing on the principle at hand. Progressives often will oppose the “War on Drugs,” for example, on the grounds that certain demographics are disproportionately targeted for drug arrests. But this assumes that the state has the right to imprison people for victimless crimes, so all that police need to do is arrest more people at a rate proportional to each demographic. According to the Selective Service System, all men ages 18–26 must register for “the draft.” One way to approach this is to say that forced labor is...
https://youtu.be/zuPg34_7PjA The Economic Legacy of Slavery What was accomplished by the enslavement of untold millions of human beings in countries around the world? No doubt particular projects here and there were the fruits of slave labor, but it would be difficult to make the more general case that slavery advanced the economic level of those societies in which it existed on a mass scale. The American South, for example, was by no means the most economically dynamic region of the country, either during or after the era of slavery. It was in fact the poorest. Brazil, which imported...

https://youtu.be/VYvzjSG6ipI Listing the main ways that society appears to treat men less fairly than women requires only a little more reflection to complete. Topping the list: a. Men are overrepresented at the bottom levels of society. They do most of the nasty, dangerous work, are much more likely to be homeless or imprisoned, and much more likely to kill themselves. b. Men spend much more time on the job than women. c. The law heavily favors women in child custody and child support disputes. d. Men are more likely to be victims of violent crime. e. Men are much more likely to die in...
https://youtu.be/tMMcN41TWXI [T]he number of blacks in professional, technical, and other high-level occupations more than doubled in the decade preceding the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In other occupations, gains by blacks were greater during the 1940s — when there was practically no civil rights legislation — than during the 1950s. In various skilled trades, the income of blacks relative to whites more than doubled between 1936 and 1959… Affirmative action hiring pressures make it costly to have no minority employees, but continuing affirmative action pressures at the promotion and...
https://youtu.be/FEkXkFM6o0w?si=B0_CfuSEd-2lhcpJ War is ultimately about collectivism. During crisis, individuality fades in favor of team effort. During violent conflict, particularly between governments, the world becomes, especially it seems for Americans, a giant, bloody football game: our team versus theirs, us versus them, good versus evil. Go, team, go. - Scott Horton, Individualism vs. War Watch on BitChute
https://youtu.be/WQwVvCDTRWk It’s common to see Progressives — who offer me no job, no products, and no services — claim that my real enemies are people who voluntarily offer me those things. Like a jealous spouse, they become abusive when they feel insecure, rather than do the work that it takes to improve themselves. It’s noteworthy that Amazon has voluntarily chosen to enact a $15-an-hour minimum wage, the very thing Progressives say only can be achieved via state coercion. - Keith Knight, Domestic Imperialism: Nine Reasons I Left Progressivism Watch on BitChute
