The official American progressive ideology that went into overdrive in the summer of 2020 also shared with its North Korean counterpart a certain wild disingenuousness. In North Korea, it is not uncommon to see the well-fed son of a Party official lambast a farmer on the brink of starvation for insufficient loyalty to the Dear Leader. In America’s “racial reckoning” of 2020, it suddenly became possible, for example, for a white magazine editor to lecture a Black construction worker who planned to vote for the wrong presidential candidate for his “internalized racism.”

Again, who and where? The persistent intellectual dishonesty of MAKING UP these scenarios in service to vague trumped-up complaints cannot be borne. Point out this "white magazine editor"- and when you do, I'll also point out that he's very very likely talking down to that "black construction worker" on any and every topic because of *structural racism and systemic inequality* aka white supremacy, which is. a value of the RIGHT who you represent so willingly. In what universe is this "progressive ideology" stemming from the pandemic?!
