I remember Joe Biden being accused of rape and the woman who did it basically being hushed down. I haven’t seen a single person mention it (recently). Given his age, status, and political beliefs, it seems pretty much guaranteed to be at least somewhat true. How did I forget about this?

The same mechanisms that shut down accusations from people never actually went away, so when it became inconvenient to "believe women" they revved them back up and buried the story

Tara Reade ended up moving to Russia over it, which y'know, only ended up making libs more bloodthirsty, many using the same rhetoric as rape defenders and apologists

This is why you can't trust them; they're perfectly willing to turn on their beliefs because they don't actually have them

This is something all leftists need to learn at some point: Liberals don't have any real beliefs or principles they live by. They're reactionaries at heart, any "progressivism" is tenuous at best. Being progressive and being a Liberal is a contradiction. Thats why we see breif periods of "progressive" times followed by the worst reactionary periods. Capitalism is only "progressive" in relation to what it was replacing, not actually progressive as we understand the word.

The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now.
