progressive

People who believe in improving the human condition to a higher plateau of being in civility, ingenuity, and public policy that benefits all people. Progressive is a state of mind and a state of being. People who consider themselves as progressives do not only think, but also act in accordance to their beliefs.

Progressive environmentalists will use alternative means for transportation that do not damage the environment such as biking and driving hybrid automobiles.

Programmer Hands

Soft hands of a man, namely a computer nerd, who does not work manual labor, but stays indoors as his job is in an office thus giving him feminine, non calloused hands. Computer nerds and excessive masturbation with lotion is mutually exclusive.

Man A) "I need to keep my hands in good shape; I have smooth hands, smooth girly hands."
Man B) "programmer hands is the correct terminology."

Emo Progressive

Note: This term was seen as divisive and has been superseded by Puritopian.

Emo Progressive (or "emoprog") is a self-described liberal or progressive, often with libertarian leanings, whose political orientation is to be angry, dissatisfied and unhappy with the state of the nation at any given time, because in their view, liberal policies are not being implemented quickly or forcefully enough. They have particular contempt for Democratic presidents.

Emoprogs are ideological purists who disdain compromise and incremental change, which they see as "selling out" liberal ideas like full employment, an end to all wars, state secrets, and liberal social policy.

Emoprogs dislike Republicans but reserve their greatest disdain for Democratic presidents, whom they relentlessly attack for not meeting a set of ideological goal posts that are constantly adjusted to ensure that the president will be deemed a disappointment, "not progressive enough" or "just like a Republican" no matter what policy achievements are made.

Emoprogs routinely dismiss or ignore congress' role in making or impeding policy, believing presidents can simply "use the bully pulpit" and "fight" in order to overcome constitutional or legislative obstacles.

Emoprogs have a strong affinity for 3rd party politics as a way to punish Democratic presidents. They are especially hostile to President Obama and deem anyone who expresses a lack of ill will toward him to be "Obamabots" and enemies of liberalism.

Example1: After Eric Holder announced congress had blocked the Justice Department from trying 9/11 mastermind KSM in civilian court, social networks lit up with emo progressives complaining that President Obama had broken his campaign promise to end military tribunals. Their criticism did not mention congressional Democrats who helped block Holder.

Example2: Emoprogs dismissed healthcare reform as a failure, saying President Obama should have used the bully pulpit to achieve a single payer system, despite the fact that Sen. Harry Reid made it clear that such a plan could not pass the Senate.

progressive stack

The hierarchy of identities on the identity politics social justice Left. A product of Social Marxist intersectionality, the stack is used to determine which people are more oppressed than others based on their inherent characteristics and therefore more entitled to speak and/or have opinions on the topic at hand. The acquired characteristics that make a person a distinct individual are irrelevant.

Identities are generally ranked as privileged or oppressed in the order which follows: race (white/non-white), gender (cis/trans), sex (male/female), sexuality (hetero/LGB+), ability (able/disabled), class (upper & middle/lower and working). Religion (Christian/non-Christian) may also be a factor, depending on the circumstances.

"Occupy Wall Street’s General Assembly operates under a revolutionary 'progressive stack.”' A normal 'stack' means those who wish to speak get in line. A progressive stack encourages women and traditionally marginalized groups speak before men, especially white men."

As a black female, Michelle Obama is inherently oppressed by *all* white homeless men. Except, possibly, transgendered white homeless men; we're not sure about them?
