Не всё поддерживаю, но направление мысли заслуживает внимания.

It might surprise you to learn that I have, in principle, no problem with a lot of what's cherished on the political left.

I support veganism. I have no problem with transsexuality. Indeed, as a transhumanist I believe into bodily autonomy, including abortion. I think climate change should be taken seriously. And I just got vaccinated a third time.

The BIG difference between me and the regressive left is that my approach to these topics is technological in nature and free of coercion:

- I don't want to prevent people from eating meat by making it expensive or socially taboo. I want veganism to win by creating artificial meat alternatives that are cheaper and on a molecular level indistinguishable from real meat.
- I don't want to dismantle capitalism in order to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. I want to build next-generation nuclear power and geothermal energy plants all around the world so that the economy can continue to grow and lift everyone out of poverty.
- I am against compulsory vaccination. I want to remove bureaucratic hurdles and build the ability to quickly deploy variant-specific boosters and approve drugs that prevent hospitalization and death so that those willing to take them can protect themselves.
- I don't want to undermine language and biology in order to make a small group of people feel a little bit better. I want to make sex reassignment therapies so cheap, easy, and perfect that third parties will be unable to tell what sex someone had at birth.

Social engineering and coercion is a terribly ineffective and divisive approach to any of these topics. And that is why I believe it to be necessary to oppose the regressive left. Their approach is antimeritocratic, dysgenic, and dysfunctional.

Here are some examples of how the regressive left tries to solve problems:

  1. Opposition to standardized testing; diversity quotas (antimeritocratic).
  2. Blank slatism; unrestricted mass immigration; creating a positive correlation between the social standing someone has and how much of a victim they are (dysgenic).
  3. Defunding and restraining the police; dismantling capitalism to save the environment; demanding absurd standards such as equity that require the forcible expropriation of wealth (dysfunctional).

All of these policies are disastrous for society. Their effects are MUCH worse than the problems they attempt to solve.

So when activists try to gaslight society with terms like 'birthing person' and make the use of "wrong" pronouns a hate crime then I will oppose and ridicule them in the same way that I oppose and ridicule the extremists working for PETA, even though I am myself a vegetarian who cares about animal rights. I am not in fundamental opposition to these causes; I am in fundamental opposition to the way the regressive left approaches these causes.
