One of the beautiful things about progressivism as a religious substitute is that it is subject to holiness spirals that eventually destroys itself, unless there is someone in charge of what is holy and what is heretical.


Interesting thought. Could you expound?

I'm going to finally get around to doing some actual work, but I'll expound later.

Essentially, though, progressivism acts very much in the manner of a leaderless religion. There are attempts to "out-holy" other members in order to prove their commitment and zealotry. This becomes a feedback loop that engenders increasingly bizarre beliefs. Due to a lack of central authority, this feedback loop leads to a spiral which leaves precious few to effectively be good members of the faith.
