The leftist defeats that are really leftist victories

It is certainly noteworthy that Michelle Wolf’s abortion-celebrating Netflix show was canceled after mere months.

Noteworthy. But not celebratory. Because if her failure feels like a victory to you, it is clear you have no idea what game the culture is actually playing nor how to keep score. Wolf was nothing to a progressive cause that is more than willing to lose in one sense – see the financial ruin of many sectors of journalism – in order to win in another. The Left increasingly trades in propaganda that ensures there’s always another Wolf lurking around every corner.

See, when you are a progressive iconoclast, your entire mission is to break things. And as long as more of the culture gets broken, you win and you win big.

And Netflix – a primary purveyor of culture – swooned at the carnage. Giving Wolf a spotlight was a woke middle finger to all the same people whom Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube like to troll.
