Regressive liberal and regressive leftist seems like different terms. A liberal is more moderately on the left than a leftist.
Of course the sentiments expressed in my favorite rock song are familiar to me; how the new boss can become like the old boss. The despotism of liberty; the dictatorship of the proletariat; well-known phenomenon in history.
I take offense at Taramarie taking offense at me, and the way she does it. But, MY taking offense is my problem.
5. Free speech must come with no caveat. I agree. Although I tend to think there is such a thing as a hate crime.
4. I am more "regressive" in his terms, which he exaggerates. His views on this item are typically conservative, ethno-centric, and deceptive. This is Clarence Thomas nonsense. I don't want any "ethnic cleansing" against my own race and gender, of course. That is just his exaggerated view of affirmative action. To deny that there are groups that have been oppressed and still need to have opportunities opened up, is just a right-wing point of view. A preview of his #1.
3. I don't engage in this one too much, although kinser might think that I do. But he is himself a good example of #3.
2. No, not me; regulations yes; but no bans unless by consensus. But I think there's good consensus for banning "smacking a child" if it hurts the child. Child abuse should not be allowed. Some behavior needs to be illegal; sure!
1. He exaggerates liberal views into a straw man in order to knock them. On the whole, yes, I am "regressive" in his terms, though again, not to the degree that he would label me as. On the whole, he is wrong on #1, and he's just another conservative denouncing liberal positions, not an "intellectual" and certainly not a liberal denouncing "regressive" liberal positions. No, he is the regressive. SJWs would certainly have much grounds for calling him a racist. Such labels are problematic. But "Multi-culturalism is ruining The West?" That is a truly regressive idea, because there ain't no "West" anymore, and it needs to go away anyway as a separate identity. We are one people on one planet, and need to learn from all "races," peoples and traditions and not try to build walls to block out the "reality" flooding in all around us. That's "reality." This guy is probably voting for Donald Trump. No "rational intellectual" he
