I’ve often heard people (including myself) talk about how the leftist “net zero” policies would (and do) guarantee a return to the Dark Ages, because “progressivism” is actually regressivism. This isn’t just political theory or speculation either, because the proof is in the pudding. We’ve seen it happen across Europe—with blackouts and energy rationing—and in Democrat-controlled states.

Now though, the leftists have re-introduced another “Dark Ages” plight through policy, and where else but California first?
California Reporter is losing her mind that no one is listening to the real reality that medieval diseases are returning on the streets of Los Angeles

Because the streets are covered in feces and urine and rats, “medieval diseases” have returned in force. From a report in the City Journal earlier this month:
Since 2009, the number of flea-borne typhus cases in L.A. has increased by a staggering 2,300 percent. Last year, the county recorded more cases than at any point in its history.
But typhus isn’t the end of it. There are documented TB outbreaks, described as “one of the worst [epidemics] in a decade” in some online reporting; typhoid fever, which has even been contracted by some law enforcement officers; Hepatitis A; Shigellosis; Staph and MRS; and while the Bubonic Plague and leprosy haven’t yet been confirmed, the “conditions [are] ripe” for an outbreak.
It also must be said that aside from these medieval and biblical-age diseases reappearing, streets covered in human waste is very “Dark Ages” on its own—but at least the medieval people had the excuse of no indoor plumbing. What’s ours? Or, more precisely, what’s your excuse Democrats?

When I’ve thought about the “Dark Ages” as a whole, I’ve realized it wasn’t actually all that “dark.”
There was tremendous beauty in local architecture; now I’m visually assaulted by “modern” art installations—like obese black women statues—and mass housing developments made of plastic materials that look like they were sourced from the Home Depot bargain bin.
Medieval peasants worked less than the average American does now.
There were no chemicals and environmental toxins, and navigating the food system offered only healthy options; I’m full of microplastics against my will, I have to spend a significant amount of money on my food just to mitigate the poison on/in it, and my immune system is under intense stress with all the geoengineering experiments and spike protein factories (Covid-19 vaccine recipients) walking around and shedding on me.
A vast majority of the Dark Ages population held to Christian morality, and actually lived by it; today, we’ve got Islamists taking control of our American and Western governments, and we actually have to argue with a massive voting bloc over whether or not gay pornography in the kindergarten classroom is acceptable. And that just scratches the surface of the depravity we deal with.
So we’re being sent back to the Dark Ages, with none of the benefits that could come along with it. Thanks a**holes—I mean, Democrats. Thanks a lot. What a joy it is to co-govern with you all!
