Yes, I’m a progressive, I’m for progress.
Yes, because the word “progress” can’t POSSIBLY mean different things to different people.
For example, to me, because I’ve studied history and didn’t allow my mind to be co-opted by mindless modern political sloganeering, “progress” means the gradual release of the individual from the collectivism which marked early hunter-gatherer society. For you, “progress” means reverting BACK to collectivism.
Who’s the “progressive” here? You, who wants 21st century individuals to live under social strictures reminiscent of the earliest forms of tribal life or me, who regards individuals as autonomous units, capable of both voluntary cooperation and voluntary non-cooperation, as suits their individual interests?
That whole “noble savage” thing the Left has had going for a few centuries OUGHT to have tipped you off that whatever the Left is for, it isn’t “progress”. Not to quick on the uptake, I see.
