Progressive doesn't necessarily mean progress. It's a term used by propagandists to present their own ideas as desirable and "making progress."

>>2911736
Don't you find it curious that you are incapable of answering basic questions? What are you trying to hide, exactly? I'll repeat myself:
  • (i) if "progress" isn't necessarily good, can it be bad?
  • (ii) if progess is bad, ought we oppose it?

A yes/no answer will suffice.

>>2911735
Sure it can. My issue is that it’s not the issue at hand and it comes off as a goalpost move

>>2911738
You’re talking to two different people and trying to change the subject for obvious bad faith reasons.

>>2911715
>>2911724
>>2911734
My argument does not require moralism. If one group’s “progress” requires the elimination and/or exploitation of another, it cannot be considered progressive.

>>2911744
His question is legitimate.

>>2911745
Jesus Christ are you illiterate?

You’re smooshing together two different uses of the word to make an insanely banal point

>>2911741
Okay, so if progress is bad, shouldn't it be opposed?
If a thing is bad, we should be against it, by definition.
>>2911742
I am adding the clause "if", which entails a hypothetical premise.
IF "progress" = bad, THEN progress = opposed to self-interest, etc.
This is syllogistic logic.
By your separation of "progress" from "progressive": >>2911736
You are implying that "progress" is good, by definition. Is this true?
If it is true, is a person who believes in "progress" not a "progressive"?
>>2911744
I am giving meaning to the conversation.

>>2911748
No, are YOU illiterate? Both your guys’ posts miss the broader point.

Historical progression is correct. “Good” is subjective.

>>2911738
(i) Progress is good in the right direction but the label progress can be applied to anything whether or not it is actually good.

(ii) Progress is only bad if you're progressing in the wrong direction.

>>2911750
Progress just means moving forward in a certain direction.

Whether or not it is good depends on the direction.

>>2911754
>(ii) Progress is only bad if you're progressing in the wrong direction.
The United States “progressed” in the wrong direction.

>>2911752
Thus begs the question, why strive to be correct?
Because it is good, obviously.
Why do you wish to be correct? Tell me.
>>2911754
Right, so IF progress is good, it should be supported, and if it is bad, it shouldn't be. But are both really "progress", or is the bad "regress"? Further, how do we know what the right or wrong direction is?

>>2911756
I agree. Most of the stuff labeled "progressive" is in the wrong direction.

>>2911757
>Thus begs the question, why strive to be correct
Because being incorrect leads to imprecision and often worse outcomes.

>>2911755
>forward
>direction
But isn't progress contrary to regress by the very terms of its motion?
For example, if progress is forward movement, it's direction is that which is forward, while the opposite of progress (e.g. regress) is that which simply moves backwards. So, there is no "backwards progress", but only "regress". Would you accept that "progress" thus has one direction, which is opposed to regress? Forward ≠ backward, etc.
>>2911759
>worse outcomes
And is it good to avoid worse outcomes?

>>2911757
What's regress for one person is progress for another.

>>2911760
It is correct to avoid worse outcomes. Good is subjective.

>>2911760
Because you're implying that the backwards direction is invalid, when that's not necessarily true. It could be a valid direction that you just don't agree with.

>>2911762
What makes something correct or incorrect?
>>2911763
I never claimed anything was invalid.
We are talking about movement.
Forwardness is contrary to backwardness.
So, progress is contrary to regress.
If "progress" is good, then regress must be bad. That's the dichotomy.
>>2911761
According to the direction one is facing, yes.
But all progress then has relative regress.

>>2911767
But when we're talking about politics it is not as simple as backwards or forwards movement. It is moving between two valid points, what is progress to one person is regress to another.

>>2911767
Depends

>>2911775
But does direction apply to political opinions?
"Progress" is most often applied in the context of supposed historical movement, where there is a proposed destination reached by the forward movement of things, with backwardness seen as repeating what has already occured in the past.
>>2911779
Depends on what?
We can apply it to the case of avoiding worse outcomes.
Why is avoiding, rather than embracing, worse outcomes "correct"?

>>2911781
On the situation
On the variables provided
Etc etc etc
>Why is avoiding, rather than embracing, worse outcomes "correct”?
Worse=incorrect btw. I should have specified.

>>2911786
You are not explaining your reasoning.
(x) = incorrect
(y) = correct
If (y) is equal to correctness, and (y) is avoiding what is "worse", then we must understand what is "worse". If what is worse is a "subjective" phenomenon like pain, then correctness would be goodness, no? But if what is "worse" is "objective" in its measurement, what is this thing? What makes something either "worse" or "better" in concrete terms?

>>2911781
Yes.

They make it seem like the past was bad and we have to make progress by moving towards their personal idea of good.

>>2911795
How do opinions have directions?
We have have preferences for directions, but opinions themselves are formless. The real question is, does History have a real direction?

>>2911788
> You are not explaining your reasoning
>"worse"
Which I have clarified as incorrect. The worse outcome in this context is the incorrect outcome. You are being purposely obtuse.

>>2911858
Perhaps you don't understand, but you are being tautological.
You are saying "what is [incorrect] is incorrect"
You aren't defining what makes a thing actually incorrect.
So tell me, what is the difference between correctness and incorrectness?

>>2911859
>You are saying "what is [incorrect] is incorrect"
That is completely and utterly incorrect.
>So tell me, what is the difference between correctness and incorrectness?
Factualness and unfactualness.

>>2911861
>completely and utterly incorrect
But you literally said it. Read: >>2911858
<[worse] … Which I have clarified as incorrect
You are saying that what is "worse" is "incorrect"
So, what makes something "worse"? It being "incorrect". Ergo
[incorrect] = incorrect
Simple.
>Factualness and unfactualness.
Give an example of an unfactual outcome.

>>2911863
>You are saying that what is "worse" is "incorrect"
Correct. And I had said that response to this.
>Why is avoiding, rather than embracing, worse outcomes "correct"?
I had to clarify, so you may correct your question into this:
> Why is avoiding, rather than embracing, incorrect outcomes "correct"?
>Give an example of an unfactual outcome.
2+2=5

>>2911865
To return to your original reply: >>2911759
We see that the motive cause of correctness is to avoid incorrectness
So, we are in a circle (e.g.):
>why should we be correct?
<to not be incorrect
Nothing has been elucidated, fundamentally.

>>2911886
>To return to your original reply
Which simply means even more incorrect. Not just incorrect, even more incorrect, which may worsen the consequences of being incorrect.
>Nothing has been elucidated, fundamentally.
What are the potential consequences of being incorrect? Potential death, failure of a project, pain, loss of material wealth, etc

>>2911801
They don't which is why some people saying that their opinions are "progressive" is just a propaganda tactic.

>>2899817
Nazi policies are good for jews now, so the ADL has shifted positions.

>satanic and capitalistic
sounds like Pretty Basic Marxism to me

>>2913311
wtf is the "oriental mode of production"

I'm pretty sure the chinese didn't invent factories.

>>2912864
trueee

>>2913320
For marx, the asiatic mode of production is about the state monopoly on land ownership, and the apparent lack of division between town and country that was in asiatic society, where the ones doing agriculture and early industry where living in the same places, unlike feudal serfs (also control over irrigation)
It is a concept that has been mostly rejected by any contemporary marxists, including those in the soviet union, with some rebranding it the "tributary" mode of production, where the governing body exerce total control over vital sectors and lord over peasants without tying them to the land

Hmm…

Yep, Elon Musk is a Nazi, a’ight.
