Progressivism

A mental illness that has taken over liberalism and destroyed the political and social left of all western nations. To accurately explain this specific disease would take up far too much time. However, one can see the signs in their fellow humans to tell that they have caught it. They talk about how white men are the root of all evil, yap about the "patriarchy," white privilege, male privilege, and glorify cultural Marxism while pretending it does not exist. They also tend to support any and all feminist and black lives matters campaigns, no matter how ridiculous they are. Lastly, they lack the intelligence and ability to defend their stances on issues since they listen and believe their way through life. This causes them to retaliate to differing opinions with screaming, personal attacks, violence, death threats, bomb threats, property damage, and even doxing people. Another trademark is for them to dogpile a person, group, or even a company that they disagree with in order to get their way.

Thanks to radicals, progressivism is nothing positive, at least not anymore.
