I'm beginning to wonder if contestgamer even has a coherent ideology, in the past he had mentioned not caring about the lives of Arabs because they're apparently worth less than a Whitney's life.

That's a possibility but I've seen alot of this variant of progressives saying the kind of stuff on social media and in articles. It's the main reason why I'm not a fan of progressives in general. I'm okay with the more chill ones but this kind of shit...  He could be emulating something he's seen or heard for I know. He also could just have a different opinion than others with a similar ideology. It gets convoluted when you ask a person what they think on a given case or situation and sometimes they disagree or agree in surprising ways. Take that "preemptive strike on NK" thread for an example where it doesn't fall neatly into party lines or ideology. It's the same thing on this topic but it's no where near as confusing as the NK topic. Some of the left agree with "innocent until proven guilty" while others of the left don't. 

And that's why I'll continue to advocate against the use of the terms conservative/progressive, right/left. These terms are more often than not used as accusations, blindly associating all the faults of a group on an individual, even if the faults are unrelated to the topic for which the association are made. People should be treated and judged by nothing else than their own, individual qualities and positions. No judgmetn should be made upon that that has yet to be stated.
