Unlike progressives, they are decidedly against free speech, though they attempt to cloak this in the name of "fighting hate"
Regressives are impetuous, emotionally immature, and emotionally fragile; they childishly lash out at any slight real or imagined, and the punishment for the slight is typically out of proportion for what the slight was, for they believe the world revolves around their feelings. If you are the cause of any emotional pain they endure, you committed an objective wrong and need to be punished regardless of intent.
Ressgrivess are amoral; right and wrong are completely dependent on how they feel insofar as they acknowledge right and wrong exist. They value nothing but their own feelings, not only is nothing sacred to regressive, they enjoy trampling on what is sacred to others, and they take a perverse satisfaction from profaning the good, the true, and the beautiful.

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.

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.
