Progressivism

Progressivism, also called Cultural Liberalism, is the ideology representing the cultural left-wing. Progressivism believes that heritage that stems from the past is not to be held sacred and rather should be left away in favor of what it views as "Societal Progress" (The exact view of which depends on what type of progressivism is held) which usually entails the creation of a culture and social environment that is less strict and conformist and more open and inclusive.

Progressivism is usually heavily associated with centre-left and somewhat bottom politics, although in theory it can align itself with any economic and civic system as shown by ideologies like Pink Capitalism and  Kemalism.

Beliefs
Progressive will generally talk about several concepts which can confuse people who aren't familiar with them. Some terms are also generally applied to Progressivism, which could confuse people which aren't familiar with them.

Intersectionality
Intersectionality is the idea that oppression based on identities mutually enforce each other. So while the problems of discrimination for women may have been largely solved, and the problems of discrimination against black people may have been largely solved, that does not mean that the problem of discrimination against black women is largely solved.

This concept is criticized through the counter-concept of "Oppression Olympics" in which identities are constantly mashed up to find the single most oppressed individual there is, causing an endless downwards spiral of wokeness. Another criticism of the concept that it is not clear what identities count, with memes about various groups being included as oppressed such as landlords or gamers.

Whig Historiography
While not exclusive to cultural progressivism, Whig historiography is the justification for much of progressive doctrine. Whig historiography sees history as the progression to the point of ever greater equality and liberation or in the progressive sense 'wokeness'. In this view, there is no such thing as a repeated cycles, only obstacles to inevitable progress.

Woke
The cringe version of based.

Personality
Progressivism can appear rather alien, but is really chillaxed when you get to know him. He doesn't mind it when you ask him for money, as he is pro- Nordic Model. He loves weed, but isn't too annoying about it.

How to Draw
Prog_flag.svg Drawing progressivism is extremely easy:
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Color the ball with green
 * 3) Add the (Preferably light red) eyes, and you're done!
 * 4) (optional) Add a black umbrella to differentiate it from the libleft quadrant ball.
