CMV: The American Left is abandoning the principles of progressivism, and effectively pushed towards supporting unprecedented authoritarianism and repressing free speech.

TL;DR: When you (Left) abandon progressive principles and don't listen to what's left of a critique of the political system you've set up, you will only guarantee that the standing Left will largely be disenfranchised and disillusioned, or radicalized. The authoritarian left will push for legal measures to repress free speech, and the current Left pushed for censorship on web-platforms while being dissatisfied with the legal framework. Right-wing politics offers a "partial alternative" to the promised Left-wing utopia, which will take power and impose greater authority on the population. This may lead to immense cultural destruction and the Left which remains will be pushed towards more radicalism, surveillance, authoritarianism and the constant need to educate, and lack of free speech in contrast to the Right-wing policies. The current political course from the Left is very dangerous, and in the end the Left will not be able to influence society. In this way, the Left will likely be replaced by more authoritarian policies, and will largely be radicalized. The authoritarian left will likely gain more power than the progressive left in the coming decades. <br><br><br>When you abandon progressive principles, you are essentially effectively pushed towards supporting unprecedented authoritarianism and repressing free speech. <br>The authoritarian left will push for legal measures to repress free speech, and the current Left pushed for censorship on web-platforms while being dissatisfied with the legal framework. <br>Right-wing politics offers a "partial alternative" to the promised Left-wing utopia, which will take power and impose greater authority on the population.

They'll face consequence for their legal actions in not allowing trans people their rights, but that doesn't make anti-trans people wrong. They'll have the never-ending right to their beliefs. Second, if you believe that it is inevitable, why is your opinion correct? You are giving anti-trans people authoritarian powers to enforce their beliefs on transgender people, and say that that is wrong. Realize that your opinions were given to you, you didn't come up with them yourself and you're blindly supporting them. You believe that you can't change from being trans, yet you want to supress people's opinions or make them "wrong". The fact that you are repeating the same 100 sentiments that most pro-trans people say is proof enough. No one changed anti-trans people's views for the past 100 years, and you won't change their views now. Because you don't listen, and you don't believe in critique. Which is radicalizing the situation and pushing for authoritarianism. <br><br><br>Lawyer for the school shooter says that he and his family are not responsible for the actions of the shooter because they can't control what he does off school premises.<br><br>The Left can make a bunch of legal measures, but they will never be able to control what people think or do. The Left is only dissatisfied with the legal framework because they first want to control people's thoughts and opinions. Once you have the Left controlling the thoughts and opinions of the population, once the Left rules the population, you will have the radical Left which only wants to educate people and push for more authoritarianism. Realize this, the Left is radicalizing and not listening to what's left of critique. <br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>&#x200B;
