Progressivism

"Not to be confused with Liberalism."

Progressivism, also called Cultural Liberalism, representing the cultural left-wing. It's a way of looking at social reality in a generally constructivist way which claims heritage that stems from the past is not to be held sacred and should instead be viewed all less important than 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 to left-wing politics, although in theory, it can align itself with any economic and civic system as shown by ideologies like Pink Capitalism and  Kemalism.

Beliefs
What is and isn't considered progressive is highly debatable, however, some ideas that are generally regarded as progressive include LGBT+ rights, feminism, multiculturalism, open borders, legalization of abortion, secularism, racial equality, drug decriminalization, religious tolerance, sexual liberation, and more. It is important to note that while all of these ideas are generally regarded as progressive, one does not have to support all of these ideas to be progressive, and conversely, one can support some of these ideas and not generally be regarded as progressive.

[[File:Intersec.png]] Intersectionality
Intersectionality is the idea that oppression based on identities mutually enforces each other. For example, they believe that a Black woman might face discrimination from a business that is not distinctly due to her race (because the business does not discriminate against Black men) nor distinctly due to her gender (because the business does not discriminate against white women), but due to a combination of the two factors.

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 downward spiral of wokeness. Another criticism of the concept is that it is not clear what identities count, with memes about various groups being included as oppressed such as landlords or gamers, although it seems very odd to consider those as "oppressed groups", as landlords benefit from current society and what counts as a gamer is blurry anyway.

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. In this view, there is no such thing as repeated cycles, only obstacles to inevitable progress.

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. He likes following trends in social media, especially when it comes to international issues, and hangs out with Globalism for that purpose. However, he will be annoyed if there's any issue that doesn't align with him and regarded them as "hateful", "bigoted" and "problematic", and willing to seek changes to end such problems.

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.

 * [[File:Ancom.png]] Anarcho-Communism - You're cool and all, but why spill so much blood? Your attempts at establishing your ideology were all failures. Also, Gun-rights are cringe! Can't you just vote for the lesser evil of the establishment instead of revolt against it?
 * [[File:Marxlen.png]] Marxism–Leninism - Same as above; plus the fact that you defend problematic dictatorships. Also, while many of your followers are progressive, the USSR became c*nservative later on in the Brezhnev era, and the boomers who have nostalgia for you have conservative and old-fashioned views.

 * [[File:Progconf.png]] Progressive Conservatism - I don't know... It seems to me like you are far too moderate on pushing for change and might only promote some forms of progress instead of all. But with that aside, you are absolutely based when you are applied to [[File:Native.png]] Indigenism and other minority cultural groups.
 * [[File:ReactPix.png]] Reactionary Modernism & [[File:Antrans.png]] Technoprimitivism - *visible confusion*
