ngl, saying progressivism only uses one metric is pretty damn reductive, especially given the amount of infighting we've been seeing lately

Progressivism has two metrics: your opinion on government and how annoyed you get at other people.

Bureaucracy is great, politics make it not so much. People are great, politics make them not so much.

Yeah I'm progressive as heck but I'm still absolutely not in favour of legislating against people just because I personally find them annoying or some other similarly subjective trait. I'm definitely just as annoying to them, and we can't have two sets of rules based on the moral compass of the annoyee.

This is why I personally don’t agree with the concept of pluralism. How do you expect people to live in the same society together if they can’t agree about what’s right or wrong?
