a scene from Futurama, Leela and Fry are outside in a crowed
Leela asks: "Why are you cheering, Fry? You're not rich!"
Fry replies: "True, but someday I might be rich. And then people like me better watch their step."
Already blocked that account, so I’ll just leave this here:
If you’re comfortable separating liberalism from progressives, then I don’t think you’re actually either or even understand what that may mean.
A lot of people just throw labels around as if “I’m in one group, you’re another group…fight”. It’s not that simple, and there’s never been that way.
The mistake most new generations make is that they think the older ones sold them out, and that the only way, their a new way, is the only way. And so every generation resets the whole game, and has to start all over.
I can only recommend that people forget about labels. Stop subdividing us into classes and having class warfare is because it’s fun online and social media. It’s just a waste of your time and energy, because we’re more the same than different.
