Often we say infinite growth (capitalism) is not sustainable and reasonable. Can we also say infinite progressivism is also not sustainable and reasonable? - eviltoast

This question is social/political, and meant to trigger a nice debate on the negatives of imbalanced infinite progressivism we seem to be heading in social and technological spheres, ignoring science, practicality and reason.

Let me put up a disclaimer that I am not trying to poke transgender community here. I am trying to hint towards the “traditional” gender roles that seem to be frowned upon in a cultist manner, even though it is accepted in an unspoken manner that most of us do prefer a lot of “traditional” aspects once we surpass 30s, and life demands responsibility, accountability and maturity.

8values made me think of the fundamental parameters that we gauge ourselves and others on, and this seems like it would have opinions coming from leftists that frown upon traditional values in an almost religious manner, as well as centrists and conservatives that might not have as traditional views as leftists think. Just an open discussion.

We can replace “progressivism” with “liberty” and “nationalism” and create couple more questions, but those are not as debatable I think.

    A lot of trans people and feminists are utilised to push Washington Consensus neoliberal agenda. It is not exclusively trans people. There are videos by CIA themselves on YouTube showing how they “celebrate” (assimilate) POCs and women.

      Unpack this, please? What is that agenda? How are trans people and feminists being used to push it? What does skin deep “support” in the form of lip service have to do with it?

        I have no need to unpack the obvious here. This is more obvious than anything “obvious” I have been told I should know.

          It isn’t obvious to me, and I know a lot of queer people and feminists (there’s a lot of overlap, since queer people, as societal outcasts, can see matters from the outside in a way people plugged into social reality can’t).

      I guessed TikTok, but of course, it’s good ol’ YouTube. I hate to break it to you, but I think those videos were Kentucky Fried Bullshit.

      But of course, what do I know? I’m sure there are loads of CIA agents on YouTube revealing the master trans plan to a select few who happen to like and subscribe. 🙄
