Regressive Left

Originally coined by conservatives hoping to delegitimize leftist opinions, the regressive left is composed of the more negative aspects of far left political opinions, specifically in such a manner that frowns upon critical thinking in favor of dogmatic thinking. Train of thought most often associated with Social Justice Warriors. Opposite on the political spectrum from the Regressive Right.

Such examples include sexism against men by virtue of their gender, racism against white people by virtue of their skin color, granting power to minority candidates by virtue of their minority status, placing minority citizenship above majority citizenship as opposed to wanted them to be equal, Islamic apologetics, using privilege as a detriment of worth regardless of context, etc.
Some on the Regressive Left believe that black people are entitled to reparations from white people, regardless of personal history for either, because one person's ancestors wronged another person's ancestors.

regrets

1) The things you have done in the past that you wish you had done differently.
2) The chances you wish you had taken.
3) The things you have done in the past that you wish you hadn't done.

Something to consider when in a situation you think you might regret in the future:
If you do it you’ll regret it,
If you don’t do it you’ll regret it, Either way your going to regret it,
So you might as well just do it
1) Why did i have to get THAT drunk??
2) I should have said yes when he asked me back to his room.
3) Why did i get involved with him?!

I've used examples which relate to my life and which i've had regrets about. Regrets aren't always about relationships though.
