I believe all labels are used falsely. Conservatives are not actually conservative, Liberals are not actually liberal, as per definitions created during the age of enlightenment. They are mislabeled to represent if you are anti; abortion, gay, muslim... Or Pro; welfare, taxes, atheism... etc.
These are candy issues to a libertarian such as myself. I view so called Liberals and Conservatives as authoritarians. Progressive at that. They are the same in terms of destruction of our rights and abuse of state power. Tweedle dee and Tweedle Dummer..
The first federalist wanted to institute a federal bank and interpret "general welfare" in the enumerated powers to mean literally anything. No one at the convention gave a second or 'aye' to his 5 hour speech. He left embarrassed. Yet here we are today with everything Hamilton sought after.

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.
