2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Well, your first definition is the original one. The second one is the disingenuous one conservatives use. They did the same thing with "social justice" and "political correctness". Conservatives never come up with anything or good, they just ruin shit.

Oh I know. But even then they're intentionally inconsistent so the good and bad gets mixed in together.

"some people suck". That is the unfortunate truth of any society. But all my examples started as good things. Shitty people stirred shit into them. It has to be said that people who actively fight progressive movements are assholes. Any history book can tell you that, if they don't burn it first.
