i don't care what people say they are for.i care about how they treat other people and what they do.
a lot of progressives are against change when it impacts them. they are anti-racist, but are glad to call the police on a black person smoking a joint in the park. literally something that happens on a monthly basis in my 'progressive' city.
you don't see to think there is a difference between people's words and their actions. if i molest a child and call claim i'm not a pedophile, i'm good, right? what if i'm a call myself progressive while molesting the child? lots of pedophiles regard themselves as progressives, does that mean they are noble and good people? because the status quo is that child molestation is a crime and wrong... so clearly if we are against that status quo it is progressive!
