      OR maybe you should team up on the incremental progress for now, and then show them why more work is needed. You don’t need to be the divisive one.

        Who is the incremental progress team? I see the Democrats who pretend to be the incremental progress team, but are really decremental, and the Republicans who are openly decremental.

          Why are you pretending like that’s what they said? One concept is a progression of the same idea but taken beyond the other one - you’re just claiming it’s not because you want to be divisive and pretend like you’re holding the morally correct position to trigger people.

          It’s transparent and like… nobody seems to be taking the bait, so why are you even still trying?

                What movement? Pretending like you want real change and acting like you give a shit while mocking people that you disagree with online?

                  I mean sure you can disagree with whatever you think the values are, but are you really trying to present it like liberalism isn’t a social movement? Why would the whole divisive OP meme even exist if that weren’t at least widely perceived to be the case?

                    Liberalism presently isn’t a serious movement… sorry to break this to you. The current presentation of liberalism is a hollow shell of the actual ideology - it’s branding.

        Some of the people you see that are dumping on any incremental progress are pro-authoritarian, accelerationists. I believe most of those ones are bad actors/bots though. Any real leftist is wanting to help people however they can/actively helping those in their communities.

          People aren’t dumping on incremental progress, largely. The issue is that there has been nobody in power meaningfully working on or achieving that incremental progress. The Democrats just gaslight everybody into thinking they are working towards the incremental progress that we hope for and expect from them, while being blind to the problems and solutions.

          Progressives are the ones who are disenfranchised, alienated, and ratfucked - it’s time for you to realize that.
