You're making a sweeping bad faith representation of progressives yourself.

It can simply be the case that your accusations of hypocrisy are wrong, because your entire characterization of the discussion/position is wrong.

I'm not going to say "you made a good point" because you flatly have not.



Double standards pervade the ideology dude.

“Women are terrible!”

“Uh, hey, that's pretty misogynistic.”

“Whoops, sorry, what I meant to say was, ‘White women are terrible!’”

“That's better.”

...

“Black men are violent!”

“That’s just a stereotype. Discriminating on the basis of immutable characteristics is wrong.”

“Whoops, sorry, what I meant to say was, ‘Men of all colors are violent!’”

“Right on, smash the patriarchy!”

There are dozens of cases like this. E.g. if you say white people are too powerful, that's enlightened. If you say Jews are too powerful, that's antisemitic. Double standards are the rule. Consistent, impartial application of principles is a very rare thing with this ideology.
