You can be progressive and not have any compassion left for ignorance. Don’t confuse policy positions with being a doormat for those who equate beliefs and opinions with facts (which is troubling frequent in a post truth world).

My apologies to Meta, “data wins arguments.” All of this loss (r/HCA) was mostly avoidable (based on all available information) with a free vaccine, and the subreddit raised over $56k [1] for vaccine donations to those who were not so lucky to have it freely available.

Progressive doesn't mean compassion. It did once for a period but society has progressed into something else. Progressive now means welding power over those views you wish to change for the greater good. Progressive became regressive.
