How the Left has changed

When I was coming up, progressive folks had a lot of ideas in common. We were anti-war, anti censorship, pro civil rights, pro feminism and pro gay rights. It was a given in our belief system that we could never ever trust Big Business or Big Media. And never in our lives would it be conceivable to trust the FBI or the CIA. Fast forward fifty years. The "progressive left" today idolizes the FBI and state power. They trust Big Media to tell them the truth, and are cheerleaders for censorship. They trust Big Pharma and line up for their safe and effective experimental vaccines. They rally 'round the Empire they once hated and demand we pursue war with Russia and China. Instead of valorizing women's rights, they demand men with gender dysphoria have access to womens' spaces. Have to say I'm not seeing much progress in the progessive agenda these days.
