You can’t erase leftism or progressivism, because it’s a reaction to injustice. Every ossified social hierarchy has its underclass, so there will always be a reaction to that. You can’t kill leftism any more than you can kill your own shadow.
Moreover, climate change didn’t happen because of gay marriage or women’s rights, so trying to force the clock back in terms of social progress won’t make the real problems go away.
- mbg721 3y agoTreating favored social classes as eternally oppressed doesn't fix the injustice, though; it ossifies it by creating an eternal "them" that is unconnected to social problems. Irish and Italians can apply now, and it's not because of any government program (unless you count war).
