Inclusive for me but not for thee

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.

You, for one. I imagine that's why you posted it in the first place.
