What's wrong with being progressive I guess you like child labor, slave wages, no benefits, no overtime pay, massive pollution, unsave working contitions etc. etc.

There is plenty wrong with Progressivism. For an example, let's use the war on drugs. Prohibition is a veil that obscures the truth about loneliness and escapism that people suffer and places them into more suffering. for the sake of "Progress" that is never acheived. What is acheived is private prisons and increased tax revenue to fuel the transition to a classist police state. 

 

These politicians don't give a fuck about you. They don't give a FUCK about you! What ever their veil may be.. it is so they can gain power. That is Progressivism. You don't want Child Labor? Don't buy from China. Is that too much to ask? Do you buy from China and claim to be a Progressive? Well there's the problem. No polititian is going to get rid of hypocrits. You got to do it yourself

 

Please don't make guesses about me in the future.

Actually the majority of child labor occurs in agriculture. 80% of child laborers work in agriculture.  There are a lot more coutries that are much worse offenders then China when it comes to child labor.  Also the war on drugs was started by Nixon and last time I checked Nixon wasn't a progressive.  Plus progressives aren't pro private prisons and police states.
