Look at criminal justice as an ex. Initial state - cops on beats have personal executive authority Progressive attack - only priestly judicial authority can legitimize punishment Evolved solution - cops can that authority only on a "suspect" who "flees" or "resists"

This evolved solution works for a while but the progressives start getting itchy - there's power out there and people unwilling to defend it. Video cameras in private hands mean *every* incident can be reviewed by priests - the adaptation fails.

Why did it fail? Because when the Rodney King case was going on the response wasn't "yes, they beat him for punitive reasons and this is required for a functioning society" - it was the good enough "uh, he was resisting". The good enough is what evolution cares about.

The bigger fight was put off for another day and now the good enough has failed utterly - progs watch a woman get shot when literally attempting to plunge a knife into another woman and insist that's not enough justification for a cop exercising executive authority.

This pattern is repeated on every progressive advance. Progressives destroy social order, the response is to figure out something progressives haven't gotten around to outlawing and use that to patch up the damage. Meanwhile progressive look at the patch and plan to eat that.

Local school boards were an anti-progressive adaptation - now they're in the hands of progressives. Suburbs were an anti-progressive adaptation and there's section 8. Tech companies were anti-progressive adaptations to insane regulation and they're cordycepted.

All of those were organic and evolved and all failed because the only solution is to break the power of the progressive egregore - not try to fix the damage it does.

But doesn’t something only become tradition because of the survivorship principle? Why did tradition survive other challenges but not progressivism?

To me it seems progressivism can only act on as a parasite on a host, it can’t stand on itself, but that still doesn’t explain why the immune system couldn’t fight it off.
