Was talking with my partner earlier about the “progressive” desire to take away air travel, or any sort of travel, and the ability to see faraway friends and the like. She said it was “anti-human” and I think that’s a very good description of it that I’d not arrived at myself.

I agree, though: it is anti-human and that’s why I oppose it despite the (mostly fake) benefits it’ll supposedly bring for the planet. In fact, I am against all anti-human ideologies, on the right or on the left. They are proliferating lately as the world experiences interlocking crises, but no matter the nominal side from which they originate, all such anti-human beliefs and practices should be resisted and destroyed.

People are scared, and they should be. We have some difficult decades coming up. But I will never get on board with the progressive pod life dreams, nor should anyone. They are just as anti-human as the right’s white majority authoritarian fantasias.
