Just seen this short comedic video taking the piss out of progressive ideas from an Aussie comedian....not just me and the 285 thousand likes then. Highly recommended.

Mmmmm....lets go through some examples of progressivism ridiculed in the video. Prejudice against males - Private American universities have been accepting claims of sexual assault by females against males without evidence often resulting in severe disciplinary outcomes....only rich kids have had recourse via courts.

In turn those that enjoy such videos are left feeling as if they've witnessed some sort of truth because of the insinuations and half truths produce a kind of osmosis where people believe bulls*** without realizing it. Also, a class with only 4 pupils? In reality a fair set of beliefs within progressivism cause its own set of injustices and harm and is anti meritocracy and anti fairness......whilst simultaneously its adherents are so far up their own backsides in their self righteousness that they apt the religious zealots that came before them.

Nah its kind of funny - in a Black Mirror kind of way. Although I'd suggest its actually a satire of hypersensitivity and extreme policitical correctness, rather than progressive ideas.

Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Dec 2017 4.51pm) So how exactly can you have a meritocracy if you don't present a balancing factor for advantage caused by prejudice and bias. I think you are mistakingly assuming that society was or has ever been meritocratic. Zealots of all kinds, are a problem. The problem comes when people think that winning is more important than being right. The problem of anti-progressives - if we adopt the stereotypes, is that they tend to find themselves defending prejudice, bias and exclusion of people within society.
