Well intended progressive Individuals or groups that believe progress is a never-ending liner upward trend. They use their strong beliefs in an ideal future work to move society towards a defined goal, only to over shoot it and begin to regress through more extreme views until hardly distinguishable from those who they initially blamed. This results in fracturing of the fundamental ideas that started the movement, as to alienate people formally for the cause and to push away others due to the increase of rhetoric.
I used to believe in this cause, but due to regressive activism, I no longer align with their views.

Get the Recession Pop mug.Often referred to as 'Triple R', this is a feedback loop where people — intentionally or not — repeat and strengthen racist or stereotypical behavior and beliefs. Think of it like racism on autopilot: it keeps recycling through media, culture, schools, and families, getting stronger each time it's unchecked.
It shows up a lot in younger generations (thanks, internet), but older folks aren’t off the hook — especially those who grew up recursively reinforced racism or contributed to it. Either way, it’s a negative loop that feeds itself like a bad algorithm trained on garbage data

Being Black in an all-white high school, I dealt with my fair share of racism. Looking back, I realize a lot of those kids were surrounded by recursively reinforced racism — mostly passed down from their parents.

noun
1. A psychological and metaphysical condition observed in individuals who experience cyclical temporal regression, typically triggered by death, and return to a fixed point in their personal timeline. The syndrome describes the progressive erosion of sanity and the conscious adoption of a fractured psyche as a direct result of the accumulated trauma from repeated deaths and lived experiences across multiple timelines.
2. The defining state where the subject ceases to perceive regression as a failure or a punishment, and instead weaponizes the process. By deliberately absorbing the existential dissonance and psychic feedback of their fractured existence, the subject transforms latent insanity into a source of power, strategic insight, or unconventional ability, viewing each life and death as an experimental data point for achieving a superordinate goal.

Characters like 'Kim Gong-Ja' from the manhwa "SSS Class Suicide Hunter" and 'Encrid' from the manhwa "Eternally Regressing Knight" use their eternal regression curse as a tool and a method to get stronger, meanwhile also obtaining the insanity of being able to tolerate pain and death tens and even hundreds of times without giving up. This is the definition of the 'Regressive Insanity Syndrome'
