This progressive movement is absolutely totalitarian.

As long as you adhere to all mainstream tenets, you're good and virtuous, like pre-2018 JK Rowling. Gay Dumbledore, yay!

But if the mainstream tenets change, and some previously loyal followers disagree with some of them, they should be ostracised, cancelled and vilified, like post-2019 JK Rowling.

The funny thing is that this is what real fascists and communists did to a T, yet, progressive people view themselves as anti-fascists.

Someone described it as Calvinball. The rules keep changing and if you don't keep up you're out. Meanwhile, the contradictions keep piling up...

No, this is just wrong. I remember someone explaining it to you in another thread but you chose to ignore it.

  • That's a curious way to introduce your point. I don't recall talking to someone about this on this site in the past few years, yet you act like you remembered my name and the arguments that were presented to me. Not very impressive. At least you could have repeated those explanations, and we'd have a substantial discussion instead of such petty rejection.

    (That being said, I do tend to ignore low-quality arguments, like the one you just made.)
