I thought the guy in the top left was a progressive?
progressive doesn't mean anything, it did in 1924 but in 2024 it contains zero content just vibes
In 1924 it meant dudes who supported eugenics and racial hygiene to create a white utopia
So... not much has changed? (Semi-joking obviously)
Americans (can't speak for others) seem to use the word to signal basically they support the Democratic Party but also want them to be "less corporatist." Which is a pipe dream.
They generally are pro "good things" domestically (free healthcare, education including college, making housing more available to end homelessness, etc.) but are ignorant of or, imo, actively refuse to acknowledge foreign policy aka USA's genocidal 8 decades long policies towards the third world and total commitment to not actually letting humanity progress. Also, the domestic policy is nebulous ranging from a Bernie style "everyone is covered, no exceptions" to... whatever fuckery the insurance companies tell Obama or Hillary, etc. to push on any given day/year.
every four years we're reminded how much more education is needed even here on the communist bear site
I always wonder what they think they're progressing towards
“Progressive” lmao
The dudes pushing scientific racism and eugenics at the turn of the century also called themselves “progressives”
It’s a useless label that’s so broad that fascists feel comfortable under it.
He is Hasan Piker's liberal friend.
