Words mean things, and their misuse can have serious consequences. I could conclude that you dismiss the incorrect use of terms so easily because you've shown yourself to be a serial abuser of pejorative terms yourself.
Mostly because I am bored, partly for others who might read this thread, and finally with the minuscule hope that agent00f might be changed by it in some way. I've been accused of been naive many times over the years, it's still true, I know... It's just who I am.
Definitely not a progressive thing, they hate their own countries and blame the world's ills on its existing citizenry. Many are even happy to see their own race and citizens exterminated to correct those ills. White guilt to the ultimate extreme.
Luxurious goodies get reclassified as "human rights" and then progressives scream for not getting them. Unlimited free abortions are just one example of that.
Like "white supremacist white male cisgendered sexist nazis"?
Again, not a progressive thing. They hate military and police or any authority figure that will prevent them from doing anything they darn well please. Freedom is a good thing, but structure needs to be in place for those who would abuse it, and everyone (including Progressives) will. A military may not be "nice" but neither is invasion from another country. Then again, see #1, they're fine with being invaded and conquered, even welcoming it with open arms, hearts, flowers, and free kisses as they come pouring off the trains. (All real-world examples.)
The vast majority of mass media peddles the Progressive message, right up to telling the population who to vote for and demonizing the one they don't like.
Back to the military. Progressives hate their own country and citizens and would be fine with its destruction. Protecting its citizens from outsiders is hardly "xenophobia", especially when certain ones most definitely mean harm... which Progressives see as "distrusting" or "mean to deny them what we unjustly have", etc.
Depends on the religion. They shout down and scream insults at a public prayer for Jesus but will lovingly embrace islam in schools, workplaces and public areas, vegan lefties will still fight for halal foods (where the animals suffer even MORE than regular factory farms) and even don the hijab and sing aloha-snackbar at events like the women's march. In short, Christians bad, islam good, all others.... meh, who cares?
Only in one direction. Progressives are very happy to take down EXISTING corporate powers (hoggin' all that loot!) but once they have control and are lining their pockets (too many methods used to discuss here) they most definitely protect their booty! Look at the rioting over reducing funding to PP or leftist schools.
Like the constant threat of being fired and forever unemployable for daring to speak against the Progressive agendas.
Boy is this one ever subjective! But I'll condemn the Progressives as the greater offender for this one too. After all, who are the ones preventing debate because someone might say something they don't like and/or deem "potentially offensive". Many of the Progressive "art" projects are not only zero-effort garbage in quality, but most times the "art" exists only to spread its messages again. (And again, and again...) Feminist slam-poetry? You could sell them a blank canvas if it came with a story of "oppression and white guilt".
...and Progressives are obsessed with ignoring the law to do whatever they like. Why buy a house if they can find one temporarily empty and squat in it? (See "free citizens") Watch these school riots closely... it's the Progressives (especially BLM!) who spit on cops and call for their deaths until the INSTANT they need one, then it's like flicking a light switch and they demand satisfaction from the same police officer they just spat on seconds ago.
Looooooooots of examples of that. The leftist-dominated media is the first to come to mind.
We've all seen the tricks Hillary pulled in trying to get as many votes as possible - free concerts, bussing people around, etc. I don't see the other side being 100% squeaky clean either, but not the rampant and total level of corruption found on the FAR left (I have to make that distinction.) These are the folks who will use any method to win - the ends always justify the means. This is why fascism is fine on their "righteous" side, and any opposition from their opponents is considered "fascism" at them.
Since it's been demanded of me (and it'll be fun to do) let's pick over this one by one...

Over. And over. And over they spread their views and scream insults and the very idea of disagreement. Have you watched how awful CNN (etc) have become?

I always thought Singapore was an example of authoritarian Confucianism more than anything else.
