Where does “PROGRESSIVE” come from?

Let’s first be clear what we’re talking about,

Let’s say “progressive” in this context means “SOCIAL REFORM”

So

where does SOCIAL REFORM come from?

 

Here is where:

TECHNOLOGY

 

If not for technology, you would still be spending day and night toiling at the fields

Large % of that would go to your lord

If it didn’t — he wouldn’t protect you from the neighbouring horde, who’d slaughter you and rape your wife

Granted it may still happen

Perhaps you’ll rape someone else’s wife, when your king tells you to go to war

You’ll go to war because whatever fucking resource necessary to survive may be missing in your land

Or perhaps you’ll go to war simply because there’s no better way to progress

But perhaps you won’t rape nobody’s wife, because you’re an upright christian

Your priest may be a fat perverted drunken fuck — but his role is important in actually being able to read: from a “holy” book, or otherwise

And it’s important that he reads you that silly goodnight story

For there’s really no reason to be moral in this immoral world — other than the realisation that it can still get a hell lot more… hellish

Oh and you may be going there very fucking soon — because there’s a PLAGUE

It’s not COVID mind you, and you don’t have have to vacillate whether to vaccinate or not

There’s no fucking vaccine, and btw it’s bubonic plague, so you’ll die within couple days, of immense pain, as buboes swell and literally explode, and your tissue dies, while you’re still alive

You die in immense pain, odour of excrement and putrid flesh, watching your entire family die next to you

 

But yeah I think the solution to all those problems is CLEARLY a SOCIAL REFORM

Socialism! Tax the merchants ! Universal basic income to the peasants! Let’s take this guy’s milky cow and cut it to even pieces, and give it to every peasant in town

Pacifism! Open borders! Let’s have the neighbouring barbarians share the fruit of our land! They can also share our women, because…

Feminism! Sexual revolution in your village! Liberalism! Let’s totally abandon the NUCLEAR family, and travel the wide medieval world, on fucking horseback, eating in 5-star taverns and having lot of sex, and raising your bastards from a horse carriage. Carriage-life

but RIGHTS! Let’s have a GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, somehow, that permits everything — excepts BANS everything we don’t like. Peasant’s rights matter — FUCK the crop, fuck the famine

Also animal rights too! LIBERATE the horses, LIBERATE THE DOGS! Liberate the pigs too, no more eating pigs! It’s OBVIOUS killing living creatures is evil. In winter, let’s only eat snow!

 

I’m sorry, this is a dumb text, right, I’m not even trying

 

Social reforms are only fucking possible because we solved our basic survival problems

And then we solved MORE problems

ALL with tech

 

First we liberated ourselves from hunger — agricultural revolutions

Then we drastically increased productivity with industrial revolution — finally having machines to 10x and 100x and 10000000x physical labour, the doing of physical work

Then information technologies, is how the world actually is connected… so that we can have a stupid fucking debate about pronouns

And so that we even are AWARE that such problem could potentially exist. Because you have never met a trans person, did you. You barely met a few homosexuals, and there are plenty of them

 

Oh and the whole welfare and equity problem

This OF COURSE can ONLY EVER EXIST if there is surplus

So we BETTER make fucking sure that THERE IS INDEED SURPLUS

Otherwise forget about welfare

No one will give you unless he already has himself

 

I always say that ideologies are distractions

There’s still more than enough REAL problems to solve first

And in the process of solving them — you eventually solve “societal” problems

 

Except we’re at the point where “societal”, “social” problems — are OUR own fault

Individual’s fault

We OURSELVES create them

We ourselves are just petulantly, angrily looking for something to PICK ON, something to point finger on, in the society

Instead of solving real problems in our real lives

 

And then the small list of problems left, which are REAL — will be solved by TECH

Not by some deluded cunt shouting on the street, like their opinion matters so much, like it’s their opinion which is the engine of progress

 

Let’s just be productive members of the society

Nothing more

Let’s just solve problems for ourselves

Then solve some problems for the world

Do that, and you’re quite good

 

And guess what — doing TECH makes you quite productive

At least it’s real

At least it’s an alternative to being a deluded cunt, sitting on the highway blocking the cars

At least you also shall benefit yourself, make some money, and feel some satisfaction of actually being useful and creative

And maybe save yourself from some vehicle running over your useless ass
