Thoughts about the current state of Progressivism

The political chaos in the West stems from an imbalance between progressive and conservative forces, disrupting the natural cycle that sustains a stable society. Progressivism today is driven by five key groups: boomers, the economic losers of the system, mass immigrants, ignorant activists, and immature young adults. Boomers support progressivism due to their historical experiences and general tolerance philosophy. The economically disadvantaged, disillusioned by capitalism, seek change for survival rather than ideology. Mass immigration, largely unassimilated, leans progressive due to welfare incentives. Ignorant activists rally around slogans and emotional causes rather than reason, while the younger generation, raised in overprotective environments, embraces victimhood and resists personal responsibility. The absence of a strong conservative counterbalance leads to polarization, social fragmentation, and an erosion of free speech.
