Are Progressives more Conservative than the Conservative of today?

I am sure you thought that the title for this article makes no sense, but have you ever thought about it? Perhaps upon further examination you will realize that you are wrong

Let’s list some things that makes a progressive more conservative than the conservative of today and see how it looks:

1. Progressives have consistently expressed that they don’t see freedom being as important to society as some other things, that’s pretty conservative. A typical progressive is more friendly to a hijab wearing girl than they are to a girl practicing free speech on a college campus


2. Progressives are hostile to any freedom of weapon ownership given to ordinary citizens, that’s pretty conservative. To limit the right of an ordinary citizen to protect themselves is pointless, but an individual that does not understand the importance of freedom and thinks conservatively will fail to understand why the ordinary citizen must always have a weapon to protect themselves. In the mind of the conservative, more importance is given to limits and boundaries than to freedom and that is what shows that the progressive of today actually thinks conservatively


3. Progressives see pornography as being demeaning to women, and an obstacle to the way to female equality, that’s pretty conservative. Only a conservative thinking individual would be so hostile to freedom of bodily expression. Taking away pornography would be a direct attack against female liberation and the efforts of free women of the past. Whatever is seen as demeaning in pornography is actually making the performer and the viewer happy and that is the context that the conservative minded individual fails to understand. Besides, the pornography industry has revolutionized the world of sex in terms of artistic innovation and they have created countless jobs for women and that’s great


4. Progressives have continuously been hostile to any change that they do not deem supportive of the way they think, that’s pretty conservative. Progressives have shown that they will not respect any rule of law that doesn’t bow to them, they work around that law and use the weapon that social media has become to suppress opposition, that is the way a dictator thinks and that is a threat to democracy and in turn a threat to freedom


5. Progressive hostility to scientific thought is something that has affected the courts of law and society as a whole, that’s pretty conservative. We punish anyone these days who doesn’t fit the narrative of progressiveness, no matter how strong of an evidence they present to make whatever point they are making, such hostility to science hasn’t existed since before the renaissance era


I think these five points show that progressiveness is actually society going backwards to a time that took unimaginable strength of great individuals to fight against. Today, the fight is between the Progressive and the Liberal but most people fail to see that and instead look to the corrupted mainstream media to figure out who they are, and that is the biggest threat that freedom has ever faced
