Leftists definition of ‘progressive’ is to expand those of who to punish.
Leftists are well known for their deceit and playing around with the definitions of words. Hitler (who was a socialist) and the Nazis were famous for their twisting of words. Jewish genocide would be redefined to “liquidation” or “taken care of.” When the Jews were being sent to the concentration camp, that simply meant “resettlement.” In Mao’s communist China, the “Great Leap forward” would mean starving to death 30 million people. Those 30 million were largely peasant farmers who lived in rural areas. The communist government could not maintain the control they desired in rural areas as they do in the major cities so why not just starve them to death and call it progress?
Today leftists run on a platform of ‘progress” and ‘justice.’ To be more specific, “social justice.” Justice is administered by a governing authority in order to punish those who have wronged. In Western society that has usually meant to punish crimes of theft or violence. You put the word ‘social’ in front of ‘justice’ and you get the regulation of the individual and their behavior and if their behavior is wrong, they are punished. In the case of the modern leftist, white, strait men have wronged and so they must be punished making their ‘justice’ movement completely based off of race and gender, the opposite of being anti-racist and anti-sexist. That’s just some of the definition bending in action. Leftists are allowed (or allow themselves) to be racist and sexist if they roll themselves out as anti-racist and sexist.
Where does the word ‘progress’ fit into this equation? Given that leftists want to punish elements of society, their definition of “progress’ is to expand the members of society of which to punish. According to the logic of the leftists’ platform, if they, let’s say, were to punish all white, strait men under the name of ‘progressivism,’ they by definition will expand their punishments to other races, genders, what ever group they deem oppressing or simply those they don’t like. All of which fit under the definitions of ‘progressive social justice.’
Social Justice=Progress, Justice=Punishment.
Leftists aim to continually seek out those to punish.
