Progressives Are Headed for Self-Imposed Extinction

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a curious new religious group began spreading throughout the fledgling United States. Their official name was the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing – known colloquially as “Shakers” for their tendency to fall into ecstatic trances and literally shake or tremble during worship.

The Shakers are most famous today for their belief in strict celibacy – even within the confines of marriage. All members, whether single or married before joining, had to agree to remain chaste for their entire lives. Because of this, their communities had no biological offspring. They only added new members through attracting converts (a rather difficult sell) and occasionally adopting children.

While the Shakers’ numbers initially blossomed to more than 4,000 scattered across a dozen or so communities, eventually they ran into a rather predictable problem: it’s nearly impossible to keep an ideological movement alive without its members creating more new members.

Having children is the lifeblood of any culture, ideology, or religious movement, ensuring that beliefs, traditions, and values are passed down to the next generation. Without family and procreation, even the most passionate faith or cause withers away, relying on the uncertainty of converts rather than the stability of raising one’s own successors.

That’s why the global fertility crisis now gripping every region of the world outside Africa and the Middle East is so alarming – but the data shows that the number of births per woman is not distributed equally along the political spectrum.

This is interesting and rather hopeful news. It emphasizes the need for parents to be involved with their kids and not let the schools and media become the authority figures of their children's lives. It's always been apparent that the left relies on parasitism of that sort to survive, and now with the left wedded to non-reproducing LGBTQ/transgender ideology and such, they are going to be desperate to ramp up their evangelism in schools and the like. Which is why they are so deeply unhappy at things like the push to abolish the "Department of Education" as such bureaucracies long ago became vehicles for such indoctrination using tax dollars.

The progressive vermin, like cockroaches will never go extinct.

If we become complacent, thinking we are going to win, the progressives will out vote and or cheat their way to winning.

We must all get out and VOTE!

The Left Becoming Extinct: Still Gaining Acceptance.

I’d like nothing better to see Marxists (I refuse to call them “Progressives”) go extinct. As far as I’m concerned, the rules regarding dealing with Marxists and Marxism are very simple: there are none. We eradicate them, end of story.

[No name given]

I’m with you on this one.

It is not the progressives I worry about. To be sure, they are part of the problems and are nuts but the ones to worry about are the legions of immigrants of the last 20 years that would rather see us dead. They have no problem with birth rates either. In fact, rabbits would have a hard time keeping up with them.

Here’s one now:

No. They control education and the media. They take our children

[Flatus I. Maximus]

If only this was true.

Progressives reproduce in the same way that fairies have always reproduced: by stealing other people’s children and returning changelings.

[enduserindy]

Yep. I know too many conservatives that had their kids brainwashed and alienated by education at some level.

[Organic Panic]

No they aren’t.

[Celtic Conservative]

Not buying it. There are morons in every generation. There will always be a small but vocal coterie of lackwits.

Mental disorders can be cured. But they have to want to be cured.

[Nateman]

Indeed. Africa has no problem expanding its population. It is up to a billion now. Most of that is toxic Islam . As this Cancer grows the West will have fewer and fewer people to resist Islam's invasion efforts. Christian Civilization use to protect Europe. Now its traitorous leaders roll out the red carpet and lavish this invasion with free stuff.

and in related news, look at this leftist protest march from Asheville, NC yesterday. Look at all the aging White Boomers. Boomers are the last demographic in America (other than Leftists) who watches or has any trust in the corporate media. Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z have no trust in it and don’t watch.

What are the Democrats going to do in about 10 years when half of these people are in the ground?

Really good analogy!

[dforest]

There are plenty of these young kooks being indoctrinated in schools as we speak.

I have yet seen no major purge of the nutcase “teachers” who spew this leftist nonsense into kids by force.

The schools is how the left does it. They take kids of the right and turn them into followers of the left because kids have to go to school.

[FLT-bird]

Schools are indeed vital. This is where school choice comes in. Every red state needs to pass school choice. Leave it up to the parents where to spend the education voucher for their child. Private schools can simply filtering out the gaia worshipping, commie trannies seeking to indoctrinate children since the teachers are at will employees. The public schools can’t get rid of them so easily.

The huge increase in homeschooling brought about by Covid - and parents seeing what was actually being taught to their kids in the public schools is another huge bonus.

Voting helps but much stronger action is required to wrest control of the City States away from the progressives.

The rule of law cannot prevail against those who resist the law at every moment.

Self-Imposed Extinction; we can only hope as they already have plenty of “stinktion.”
