Forget #progressivism; that’s just a euphemism for socialist populism.

We need more #liberalism.

This also isn't to say that #Facebook / #Meta haven't succeeded in promoting #RightWing perspectives and suppressing #Progressivism and #LeftWing #activism, but I think those kinds of actions tend to be more insidious and less visible.

🥥 As someone with an interest in #politics and #progressivism, I boost toots that interest me from #Canada, #Australia, #NewZealand, and #GreatBritain because I can read and comprehend the #English language, and I am interested in more than just the US.
I am appalled by the many & frequent similarities in tactics rightwing forces use in all these countries. It's becoming alarmingly obvious that #fascist forces are sharing, cooperating, and coordinating with one another globally. 🥥

@threetails *nodds in agreement*

I hope sincerely that we'll get more active #progressivism and not shitty pinkwashing just to "own Putin's Russia"...

@KimCrayton1

So… you - a REAL #progressive - have decided that your definition of #progressivism is the correct one? And therefore, you’re allowed to publicly lecture & judge those who don’t think as you do?

Fascinating.

Out of curiosity: how much success has this shaming/lecturing approach worked for you? I ask because - having tried that approach myself - I’ve only seen it backfire spectacularly.

I’ve never been able to build bridges or coalitions with shame.

The european right wingers are actually progressives: they always want more immigration not less of it. You don't need to be a populist to support an opinion that we need less immigrants.

Oxymoron is when we refer to people who are willing to destroy nature in the name of progress “conservative”, but to the people who love to walk in circles and pat their own backs we refer as “progressive”.

There is no conservatism but green conservatism.

Seeking to understand online #hatred against #women? Check out #Gamergate -- a year-long (2014-15) #harassment campaign that was subsumed into the rise of the alt-right. Aja Romano's 2021 Vox article is a good source. Gamergate was not the beginning of extremism -- there are a cocktail of factors. But Gamergate was an accelerant that helped create #MAGA -- which is an intimidation machine (the product is #hate). Gamergate focused hatred on #feminism, #diversity & #progressivism.

Humans have entered an age of change where progressivism is the new status quo each day.

In my opinion, this is the progressive revolution.

Conservatism inherently opposes change. Therefore, we will soon* see the death of conservatism as we once knew it.

This shows clearly why Incrementalism is bad/dangerous.

Progressives in NYC
Had principles they had to agree
But when loyalty was sought
Trouble was then wrought
And what it meant was a mystery!

@emilyfern First estate (#KayfabePanto) and fifth estate (armed enforcement) entangled: police costumery simultaneously playing roles of tecnico-face and rudo-heel.

Since birth of #eugenics, #progressivism has always been conservatism, always been conservation of the what-is with eye to making such what-is somehow better—by shearing away this or that—rather than vision of futures that entail first #mourning what-is to clear space for what-might.

My goodness, the GOP is so hellbent on "destroying communism" that they're going to hold a house resolution to "denounce the horrors of socialism."

So. Much. Idiocy.

Robin Yassin-Kassab:

Among the worst of #leftist idiots are those who warn that if there's any military action to stop #Assad killing #Syrians, 'Syria will become another Libya'. #Syria under Assad is incomparably worse than #Libya in post-dictator chaos.

In order to keep their 'proxy war' and western 'regime change' stories going, they have to totally erase the agency of many millions of #Arabs. This is because they are racists, these people so convinced of their radical #progressivism.
