Rarely see it spelled out that clearly, I think that's a huge issue with modern "progressivism".
Progressivism has no inherent need to be all-encompassing. In fact, keeping certain groups *cough conservatives cough* not included is an essential part of successful progressivism.
You're referring to the tolerance paradox, and I completely agree with that, but I don't think that's what happened here.
Who knew how many reactionaries would get flushed out of the bushes by a little off-hand comment about my personal life?
You, for one. I imagine that's why you posted it in the first place.
