How's it going America,
Check out our latest episode of The Pod Millennial! I sit down with Nicki Neily of Parents Defending Education to discuss just how deeply activist ideology has taken hold in public schools—and, more importantly, what you can actually do about it. Brand new episodes drop every Tuesday! Listen, rate (5 stars, of course!), and subscribe!
Let's get into it:
I listened to much of the Global Progressive Mobilization meet up, live streamed from Barcelona, and what I heard from the mouths of these globalist global leaders was alarming. They have flowery language that all sounds great until you peel back the onion skin and find that the deeper you get into their plans, the less room there is for the very working people whom they pretend to champion.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa got mad applause when he spoke about the need for developing nations to join against the West and the United States as part of a "global progressive revival." Ramaphosa wants all debts from the global south forgiven as a way to cripple the interests of Western nations. He demands a global progressive movement for developing nations to seize power from the West.
New York City's socialist mayor held a Tax Day summit last week, where economist Gabriel Zucman said we're at the "beginning of a global movement" to tax the rich and redistribute wealth. Zucman was there in Barcelona, too, and spoke about his proposed minimum 2% tax globally on billionaires. To achieve this, he needs to get nations on board. In New York last week, he got Mamdani on board.
He said it's not "radical to ask the super rich to pay as much tax as the rest of the population. What's radical is to accept the current status quo where they are allowed to live in their own parallel society."
Mamdani believes socialism can and will spread across the US. When asked about the potential for such a thing, he said "I was told you that can only be a Democratic Socialist in northwest Queens, then I became the mayor now the next question is the state, then the next question will be the country."
Everywhere we look, ideologies of progressivism are again on the rise across the world. These are the same ideologies that led to mass slaughter in the 20th century but for today's progressives, they are a means to gain power and control.
They speak at length about what they want to do for the working people of the world. They want to house them, feed them, clothe them, give them healthcare, jobs, and while most of us would say sure, I'd like a house, I'd like something good to eat, I'd like some new clothes, to know my medical needs will be met, to have a job with some security and a good wage, what we don't want is what we have to trade to get it.
We give up liberty when we accept ease, when we accept government control of every aspect of our lives. Progressives believe government grants rights, and that it is government that can take them away. We need constantly remind government our rights come from God and government serves us, and not the other way around.
