The musical chairs of the progressive alliance
Every modern progressive government operates on a convenient myth: the idea that every ‘protected class’, minority interest, and social justice cause forms a single, harmonious mosaic. In the UK and Europe, the political establishment and NGO network have built a policy apparatus designed to champion every coalition cause simultaneously – from gender self-identification and diversity mandates to animal welfare and multicultural integration. Yet beneath the polished press releases lies an inescapable reality: these causes do not live in harmony.
