The Cancer of liberalism defined: Progressives.

Started by Time-Immemorial4 pages

Dems have gone so left, they have left the liberals and turned into neo progressives.

Funny the word progressive came up a few times and was directed at Hilldog.

Just that, if I understand the terms correctly, he's pretty liberal by American standards.

Though he does a lot of anti-SJW stuff. Those are good.


I don't identify as anything. I just dislike the left more than the right, for reasons eloquently executed in the vid.

I'm not American, so I don't identify as anything either. I don't get the "us v them" mentality either.

Sargon is usually spot on, yeah.

She's whatever she need to be to get power. Its crazy, the people most equipped to gain power are equally unequipped to use it properly.

**** Hilary.

I respect that.

So we're moving on from "dirty libs"? Someone inform Star. He needs to stay on the cutting edge of political critique.

Nah, I still prefer the term "libs". It's easier to type and everybody knows who I'm talking about anyway when I use that bad word. 😉

No idea how anyone can relate to her, or give her a vote.

Its like saying "I dont give a **** about anything, she's getting my vote."

The vid explains why doing that is wrong. In fact, the more you attack progressives while lumping them in with liberals, the more you strengthen and legitimize them. The more you force libs to defend progressives even though they aren't the same, the more proggresive cancer spreads.

The identity politics people are really not into politics, they into trolling the actual ones who care and try and drown them out with "racist, biggot!" the usual crap. No wonder this country has fallen divided.

I don't have the patience to sit thru 16 minutes or so listening to such a boring speaker. I tried already. I couldn't listen to more than a few minutes.

Long story short, neo progressives are the root of all evil and use identity politics and feelings to muddy the water and cause discourse in the political arena, and are basically trolls.

Sounds like most of the people on this forum who call themselves "liberals".

How do we get rid of the progressives and restore some decency and character back into people.

When did everyone become such wimps and have to take their butt hurt feelings to politics.

I get the feeling that most of the identity politics people have been abused, bullied or shamed most of their early life and still might be, and this is the way they can get some revenge is to get involved in politics and get some politician who don't care about them to grab their vote for his or her gain.

I don't believe they are genuinely offended. Its rare to single out a person who says "I was offended". You do see mobs of people who claim their entire race was offended simply because they were told so by progressive leaders. Then they circle the wagons.

Basically, its a way to control what others say.

Bardock gets offended daily.

We as a people agreed that we won't be assholes to each other by saying certain words to each other, so they came in and changed definitions of those words to include anything that threatens their agenda.

Example, the word racism was literally changed in a way that, by definition, only whites can fit into it. So, you can actually win a debate saying blacks can't be racist, and technically youll be right...but intellectually youll be wrong. Postmodernism.

" depends on what your definition of is, is."

Its tactical genius but it wore off. Now now one gives a shit anymore, We can thank Trump and Carson. I'm so sick of the PC brigade.

That was a great video, I'll make sure to watch more of the series.

It's scary to listen to that and realize what he said defines a great deal of democratics in power.

That said I'm sure there are some videos that could do the same with republicans especially when neo-cons like cheney were in control.

Robert Reich has some good stuff:

Although he worked for/with Bill Clinton so you might have to sift through some Clinton wank but good information. I don't like everything he has to say but its another side to the story.
