- sincerely 9y agoProbably the way that poster threw in the "regressive" label for modern progressives (who I'm guessing a lot of people might identify as) at the end, if I had to guess.
- tomsthumb 9y agoHow would you describe the emerging subset of traditional liberals who are beginning to embrace authoritarian stances in the context of authoritarianism being largely incompatible with liberal ideals? Edit: This is a sincere question. If a more useful description or label exists I would like to know it.
