Progressives aren’t a thing
Because you say so?
Nonsense.
Is a communist the same as a progressive? A democratic socialist the same as an anarchist? Call me what you want but like I said, it’s reductive and meaningless.
I guess I just learned to accept that the only behavior I can control is my own in the workplace. If someone is saying stuff I find objectionable then I keep it strictly professional and let them know I expect the same in return.
No, I hate the term as it’s usually used as a pejorative and is so reductive as to be essentially meaningless. I’m a democratic socialist.
I guess I still go by the original definition. There are other words that offer more detail anyway - kakistocracy, gerontocracy, corporatocracy, kleptocracy, etc.
You:
You are putting that conspiracy theory on the same level as any Qanon theory
This is false. Here’s what I said, “people on the right aren’t the only ones”

Care to clarify? I can’t make sense of your comment.
Care to explain where your certainty is coming from?
the shooter IS antifa
Sure would be nice if we could wait for the facts to come out instead of just pulling shit out of our asses like it’s immutable truth.
Half the comments here are proving that people on the right aren’t the only ones who can indulge in stupid conspiracy theories.
It’s depressing as fuck.
Looks like you’re lost. Here you go:
Purely hypothetical but at what point does it become justifiable to start putting bullets in these fucks before they try and do the same to others?
If you can’t answer such a simple question yourself, I’m not sure there’s any point continuing this discussion. Have a great day.
