The Trouble With Progressives

We live in a culture where the only thing which can be ruled out is the idea that anything can be ruled out.

The problem with so-called progressives is that the very term they use to describe themselves begs a question that they can never answer – progress towards what?

The answer “towards more progress” is hardly adequate since there can be no progress without direction, and there can be no direction without a fixed point.

But progressives are so inclusive that they have done away with fixed points.

Objective truth does not exist in their brave new world where fuzzy notions of “my truth” and “lived experience” mean that the only thing which can be ruled out is the idea that anything can be ruled out.

A love of novelty, a penchant for sentimentality, and an unnatural fear of hard thinking have combined to produce a culture of juvenile free-thinkers.
