The thint I can't get is all these liberals I know who like to describe themselves as some sort of common sense moderate types who if we just do do a couple little things with gun laws or just these minor little tweaks with health care we would be good and there is no slippery slope "you are just being a conspiracy theorist nut"! We all know it never stops, once they get something and the overton window moves left, it is the next thing.

Is there ever a point that progressives finally get to where they are content with things? If not unchecked, what would their dream utopia world look like to the point they can stop wanting "progress"?


If white people are allowed any rights or privileges above what slaves in this country were allowed, then there will always be "progress" that needs to happen.

The entire philosophy and purpose of the Left is mindless destruction. Like a Terminator, it will never stop destroying things until it is dead, and that includes groups thought to be a part of itself

"Moderates" are perpetually looking for ways to keep their friendlist intact. They are often uninformed by choice, finding politics or the discussion of it distasteful. People like that always claim the world is several shades grayer than it is and consequently get kicked hardest in the backside when all the "conspiracies" and "slippery slopes" they claim to not see suddenly erupt in their own lives.

Their stopping point is when someone commits armed revolt against them and wins. Otherwise they will keep pushing until they get all their goals.

Not in definition, and DEFINITELY not in practice. The whole goal of the party is to constantly "create" things to progress against.

Even if they achieve all of their current goals, they will have spent time creating new victims, new things to fight against.

It's a wholly empty and meaningless philosophy because it has no objective standing.

No. It only works if there’s always something “wrong”.

I got laughed at a few years ago when I said wait till they make pedos a “lifestyle choice”. It’s coming.

It is always this little tweak then well we did that so what about this little tweak? Then when you say “no” they want to know why you are so intolerant and unwilling to compromise...

Yes, they do. Millions... tens of millions... in body bags.

See: The French Revolution, the USSR, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, and North Korea.

Absolutely not.

Leftism results in Totalitarianism. As systems deteriorate under the weight of the inefficiencies of the Left, the system itself must be bolstered. It cannot be bolstered by concrete, palpable and apparent success, because Leftism doesn't create these kinds of success. It cannot, because of the natural defectiveness of the Collectivist System.

Therefore, the question arises: How does the Leftist Collectivist System bolster itself? Well, how do the failed Democratic Party controlled big cities of the USA bolster themselves? How do THEY project themselves as paragons of virtue and success? What methods do they use to measure success?

If you can answer those questions, you'll have your answers. Short Answer: No. There is no "stopping point". More and more thought control, oppression and persecution are always required in the Leftist Collectivist System.

The very definition of "progressive" is your answer.

No. There is no end.

History will record that like every other socialist construct, they stopped themselves by wrecking the economy. And they will have a rude awakening when they realize the China has a very different vision of the New World Order.

The fact that you asked this means you literally have no clue.

They do have a stopping point, but the reality of that should scare any clear-thinking person.

No

Once they they think they've reached their utopia they'll move the goal posts to become conservatives.

It's a mindset of self loathing where they must punish themselves and everyone around them so they can feel fulfilled.

The hive mind is very dangerous.
