Exactly.
I think a lot of people ignore the realities of progressive policies, because to them, progressive policy means fighting systemic racism/sexism/etc. It doesn't have to work - all that matters is the intention. And you can't even argue, because then you're just a racist/sexist/etc, because who else would argue against them?
- zozbot234 4y agoThere's a whole lot of wishful thinking in that sort of attitude - Progressives used to be pro-eugenics (even explicitly arguing for racially supremacist views) and against gender equity as late as the 1950s. People will say anything to support their preferred ideological stance.
