regressivism

Actions by humans who don't realize their actions have been done in the past to the detriment of many

Regressivism has taken hold of American society so much that one would think we are living in 1961, not 2016.

regressivism

A political ideology aimed at rolling back societal progress, mainly where social justice and equal rights are concerned. It can be opposed to any background, class, creed, ethnicity, gender, language, nation, race, religion, sex, etc. Usually specific to the region, society and time. Often confused with conservatism. Whereas conservatism attempts to prevent new social change, regressivism aims to reverse existing change entirely. Regressivists often hide under the incorrect label of conservatism which has the effect of sanitizing their beliefs.

JOŽO: Dežo calls himself a conservative, but I know for a fact he wants to take away already existing rights.
FERO: His ideology is not conservatism, it is regressivism.

Recessivism

(Noun) 1. Social, political and economic philosophy designed to disassemble (with the intent to destroy) democratic republican ideals and institutions and supplant them with pro-corporate economic primacy. This philosophy is designed to benefit the economic elite, usually corporate, over or at the expense of other communal or societal institutions, such as governments. A practitioner of recessivism champions corporate personhood and rights often at the direct expense of the environment, flesh and blood human rights and socio-economic conditions. Practitioners typically pursue deregulation of financial institutions to the point of facilitating the cannibalistic stage of capitalism.

Recessivism leads us to believe that America was best under the proto-fascist fusion of the British Monarchy, Parliament and the British East India Company.
