Why aren't Deplorables complimenting liberals on being "Progressive" any longer?

Why aren't Deplorables complimenting liberals on being "Progressive" any longer?

The word is rapidly disappearing from their thread titles; the last mention was the first in a long time. Did the tone-deaf morons finally figure out it's not the slur they want it to be?

Pick a label and stick to it, losers!

 

[pecksniff]

Let's be clear: "Progressive" is something well to the left of "liberal" and well to the right of "socialist." "Progressive" = what would in Europe be called "social democrat."

It hasn't been used that way here @ Lit.

What are you talking about??

"Progressive" is still the preferred term champ..... and the only people who think you lot are liberals are people who don't know what liberalism is.

Hate civil liberties?? You're not a liberal.

Liberalism is not part of the L v R spectrum, seriously take a basic poli sci class.

 

[pecksniff]

Liberalism is not part of the L v R spectrum . . .

That makes no more sense than the often-heard protest that "conservatism is not an ideology."

 

[CornusKousa]

That's why you need to take a basic poli-sci class.... this is some heavy duty 10th grad shit right here.

Liberalism is opposite authoritarianism and is neither right nor left specific.

Left (equity/collectivism) vs right (hierarchy/individualism) is on it's own spectrum and both have liberal ideologies as well as authoritarian ones.

Here is what a right of center liberal like myself vs. a progressive lefty looks like on the most basic of political compasses.

Triggered early...and hard.

Lots of butthurt over their failed label. Told ya.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Democrat, Liberal, Progressive - These terms are used interchangeably these days, except in the case of a handful of Democrats like Manchin, Sinema, and a few others.

^^^ Delusional as ever.

I like you guys being "progressive" .

It's far more accurate than the lie that you're a liberal.

 

[pecksniff]

That's why you need to take a basic poli-sci class....

Political science does not take the Nolan Chart scheme seriously.

 

[CornusKousa]

Political science does not take the Nolan Chart scheme seriously.

That's not exactly the Nolan chart, just the standard basic two axis model that most others, including the Nolan are somewhat based on.

Outside of batshit nonsensical leftist ideals that ignore the consensus definitions of all these words in favor of vaguely defined bullshit to support their language manipulation and dishonesty of course.

Also RAW/Salon/RationalWiki/AlterNet =/= political science.

LIBERALS = MARXISTS, much more accurate!

 

[RoryN]

Triggering all the right Deplorables.

 

[Earthlyone]

Triggering all the right Deplorables.

So merely posting in a thread you have started is being "triggered?"

You're a childish person.

 

[CornusKousa]

LIBERALS = MARXISTS, much more accurate!

So you don't have any clue what liberalism or Marxism are....maybe both.

You might as well have posted "CAPITALIST = COMMUNIST" .... yea it's that fucking stupid.

Go back to school sconnie.

 

[CornusKousa]

Triggering all the right Deplorables.

^^ started a good thread, but unfortunately he's not informed enough to participate in it.

So he's scared to do anything other than say "deplorables triggered".

Some posters are having a great deal of difficulty distinguishing between the meaning of the root words "progress" and "deplore".

Not surprising that they fail to understand the impact of political movement labels. These same posters have a great deal of difficulty distinguishing between facts and lies and between honor and dishonor.

Says the guy who runs around constantly making up insane stories about me for not being a fan of his totalitarian communist fantasies.

 

[coati]

And one poster can't overcome his tedious and histrionic routine of screaming "Communist" every time someone exposes his lack of honor and his addiction to obsessively seeking attention on the porn board.

Yes, it is a term to be proud of.....I'm progressive when it comes to education, healthcare, housing, equality under the law and in employment.

I'm much more conservative.in my approach to finances.

A liberal with a progressive side.

Nothing histrionic about it.

Yea... I would have to respect you to give a shit about my "honor" rating with you.

But given your history of just outright dishonesty and making up the most random wild lies about me, that's a big ol' NOPE A' RONIE!!!
