    It is fair to say that Progressivism has become a highly perverted trend that never ceases to surprise in it is ability to outfo satire. In many ways, contemporary Progressivism seems to be a pathological condition where mentally ill people seek to rationalise their own, social inadequacy by calling for the normalisation of all sorts of social anomalies. At the same time, everything that is norm is problematised and heckled whereas people who follow the norms are declared sick.

    Modern Progressivism fights for the rights of the most obsure and bizarre sexual outliers, it demands the normalisation of eating disorders and it is overly-obsessed with "the climate" and "Fascism" to the level of hysteria.

    Just the other day, a Swedish professor - unironically - suggested cannibalism as a solution to "climate change". This new level of insanity then makes me wonder; what is next and the purpose of this thread is to be a place of speculative prediction where we discuss and share what we think will be the next, big Progessive trend.

    Examples of questions that could help facilitating the discussion:
    - What do you think will be the next Progressive trend? Why? Any signs?
    - How is it that these Progressive extremists, who are both social- and political outliers have such power in setting the discourse?
    - Do you too believe these are sick individuals?
    - Will it ever stop?

    Arresting people because of what they believe, prison camps for Christians and orthodox jews. Gas chamber for gun owners

    Using the actions or words of one individual is a rather stupid way to define a “trend”. Try again.

    Every single thing progressive democrats do is to increase dependency on government. There is no limit to what they will do towards that end. a

    This social deterioration and cultural degeneracy stretches far beyond party politics. Most Democratic voters are normal people who enjoy their burgers, who drive their children to soccer practice and who think it would insane to allow a grown man to use the same lockerroom as their daughters.They are not afraid that eating a burger will "ruin the climate", they do not feel any guilt for driving their car and they do not think at obviously abnormal sexualities are normal.

    This is something else.

    These Progressives that I am referring to are the general cancers that set the discourse despite only making up an incoherently miniscule minority of society.

    These are people who are against the basic, universal pillars of society and culture building such as love, family, gender roles and community. Maintaining a normal, healthy diet is being problematised and ridiculed; Being over-weight is good. Being anorectic is the result of "Patriarchy". Eating meat is bad for both you and Mother Earth. Everyone should be vegan and we should now start to look at the possibility of eating bugs and even human beings.

    They seek to anormalise the normal, demoralise the moral and unnaturalise the natural.

    How is it not a question of party politics? 0 or close to 0 modern progressives vote Republican. Democrats steadfastly refuse to distance themselves from progressivism because they cannot win elections without progressive votes, making extreme progressivism the unspoken keystone of Democrat political and campaign strategy. Until they start honestly and vocally distancing themselves, in the way they insist the other side distances itself from racists daily and repeatedly (and then utterly ignores the distancing when it is expressed in even the most unequivocal terms), then they are getting tarred with the brush.

    But to attempt an answer to the thread question? What will be next? More of the same. More calling any reasonable political disagreement "racism" or "hate speech." More entrenched, illogical identity politics. More unhinged environmental hysteria. More generalized wealth and class resentment and appeals to socialism as a viable option. More individual freedom-stifling big government solutions to exaggerated social issues. More violent acting out against those who dare to express non conforming, non progressive political opinions. More MSM progressive hegemony. More unwillingness to call out and condemn antisocial progressive acting out. More attempts to silence, deplatform, disrupt, threaten the speech rights of the noncompliant. More boycotts, blacklists, doxxing, outright attacks on persons and property.

    But most of all, more projection of the many faults and inconsistencies of progressives onto political opposition utilizing false claims of "gun violence" on "the right" where insanity due to government social policy over decades, and institutional mental health failures, merely couched in political terms of aggressors or not, is the true cause, domestic terrorism from "the right," by trying to force all insane terrorists as "far right" while dishonestly ignoring the vastly larger general categories of LW violence when it occurs. Projection is the true foundation of Leftist Progressivism, and that will only exacerbate as 2020 draws closer.

    It's nothing new. Progressivism is just a different way of defining the bent nose union tactics of the last 100+ years. Only the "justifications" change, and those are a function of what works to intimidate and enrich as opposed to the real.

    I do not want this thread to be yet another one that develops into "Trump is bad" and that is why I would prefer if posters could try to avoid mentioning parties.

    anorectic?
    anormalise?
    unnaturalise?

    When did they change the spelling of these here words?

    Normal is what a person perceives not what you dictate and broadcast as your terms of existence for other humans..

    All of them are correct, so I have no idea what it is you are referring to. :confused:

    No, normal, in this context, is what is norm - The foundations, beliefs and behaviours that the majority adheres to.

    The only response I can offer is, how can one respond to your OP without party politics? Everything progressives do, they do to enslave the masses to government dependence under the guise of benevolent compassion. Everything. And modern progressivism, like modern slavery, is the exclusive domain of one particular party.

    Unnaturalise is not a word, unless you reside in the UK.
    anormalise is not a word unless you speak French and live in France.
    anorectic is being used incorrectly to simile with eating of certain food groups but in reality it is from dieting to lose weight due to an inferiority complex from body shaming by the individual.

    What the majority of sheep do is not what an individual of a goat does...

    What's next? Normalization of pedophilia as a sexual orientation that needs treatment as opposed to incarceration.

    I am European and I speak the proper version of the language. ;)
    .
    Are you trying to be clever or funny here? It does not really matter because you are neither. Normal refers to what is norm.

    Because we speak of the trend and degeneration in itself and not about political parties.

    I too think paedophilia is a top candidate and do not think we are too far away from seeing that discussion becoming part of the general discourse where there will be a serious push to normalise it (I think such "ntworks" exist already, but I suppose the masses are not yet seen as ready to let them run loose). Definitely wherewards it is heading.

    Cannibalism to "save the forrests" topped all of my expectations, I will have to admit. :laughing:

    Seen the cannibalism thing too. I'm not surprised by anything anymore. Hyperbolic as it may sound, sometimes progressivism just looks like satanism wearing a suit and tie.

    Many of the items of the list are features of the right - and some are just false.

    1) Socialism - Red Establishment loves wealth redistribution
    2) Kill Babies - Red Establishment loves war and attacks on innocent civilians - killing babies
    3) Raise Taxes - Who do you think is going to have to pay for the massive deficits under Red since Reagan - Tax Payors
    4) Defund Military ( this is false) - The massive increase in Military Spending under Trump is "Socialism" Red loves socialism even more than Blue !
    5) Weaken the Economy - Is exactly what Trump is doing with these Trade Wars - but especially with the way the Iran Sanctions were implemented.

    6) Suppress free speech, freedom of information, freedom of the press - Last time I checked it was the Trump admin going after Assange. Red Establishment is totally focuses on censorship and attacking freedom of information.

    A quote from Jesus comes to mind - somewhere in Matt 6 or 7 if memory serves - Take log out of your own eye before trying to pick the speck our of your brothers.

    The worst thing is that he was neither booed nor heckled for it. No one threw anything against him either. I have even seen the mainstream papers here (Sweden) publish articles where they seriously discuss whether we should look into becoming cannibals to "save the climate". :no:

    If you had to choose between cockroach-sausage and human ham, what would you pick? ;)

    Joke aside, these people ought to be locked up.

    The name alone is an oxymoron. What progressives really want is to return to a "tribal system" from which the most "progressive" of mankind evolved thousands of years ago.

    Progressives latch on to anything that comes down the pike that can be used as a bogeyman foil to advance their cause, which is strong centralized national government that dictates virtually all aspect of living. These things have no rational basis. They are simply handy and just show up, so there is no way to predict them.

    The media loves the progressive extremists, and that gives them their clout. Progressiveism in general runs on the fringes, but cannot be called outlying. There are many progressives and progressiveism has been a formidable factor for over 100 years.

    I think the wild-eyed extremists show mental instability.

    Progressives promise utopia which appeals greatly to many people. They have shown astounding staying power and not going anywhere soon.
