[RedState] There is no forgiveness on the progressive left. There is no assurance of salvation. There is no safety net. There is only constant penance. It is the only sacrament they can allow.
Leftists can never rest easy in their beliefs because at any moment they could face the wrath of cancel culture. The best they can do to protect their reputations and their egos is to keep pushing leftward, keep pushing toward the fringes. They must be the loudest, the angriest, the victim-est. Even then, it’s just a matter of time before each one of them comes face to face with the impossible rules of their religion.
Case in point, actress Jameela Jamil. The actress, best known for her role on ’The Good Place’ (an excellent show that you should watch if you haven’t already) has been a very vocal social media advocate since the award-winning show ended its in run in 2020. For what? Well...everything. Green energy. Feminism. Hashtag me too. And most notably, for LGBTQ causes. In fact, you might imagine that all that leftist activism has been great for Jamil’s brand, but in fact, it has often had the opposite effect. The British beauty has been accused of "gay-baiting" after she declared herself "queer", despite being in a heterosexual relationship and only ever having male romantic partners. Jamil tried to jump on the "you are whatever you identify as" train just for clicks, but she didn’t understand that the rules are not consistent and the people who decide the rules are changing every day. |
