Progressive

What is classified as "progressive" varies between cultures, but the gist of what it encompasses is a desire to "progress" society; i.e., to create a society that is based on the detachment from traditional norms and practices. Examples of ideas that are considered "progressive" are:

- Expansive LGBTQ rights
- Protecting minorities from discrimination
- Tolerance of atypical gender expression
- Miscellaneous left-wing ideas such as progressive taxation
"Progressivism is the scourge of society; it seeks to tear out the foundations of our communities that have kept us satiated for centuries. It's like uprooting a plant from its pot and replacing the soil with rocks. It promotes degeneracy in all corners of the public: the streets, the businesses, the bathrooms, and even the schools. It can only cause collapse."

"Being progressive may be the only measure we have to combat the waves of hatred that constantly plagues our society. Some may feel a sense of bitter nostalgia recalling the "good ol' days" when everything was simpler, but they need to be reminded that very few were treated equally or with proper respect and compassion during those times. We need to ensure a society that guarantees safety for not only oppressed individuals, but for all people."

Peter Pan Progressive

One who idolizes or seeks to emulate a Limousine Liberal but has neither the reputation nor the resources to actually aspire to be included the group.
Peter Pan Progressives are often middle aged white guys who refer to each other as "My Brutha" and have never taken the time or effort to analyze what they really believe or why they believe it. Often live at home with their Mom. Dress preppy and drive sports cars. Hang on the fringes of upper class society and actually think they are part of it. Their female counterparts also prefer the country club look. Once dated a "black guy" and think Jon Stewart is the messiah.
