Everyone is free to choose their path. In your case, you're allying yourself with dark lords like George Soros (promoter of immoral policies, market manipulator, election intervenor—a defender of democracy—and all this with the money he makes through speculation—financial capital). Even if you don't recognize it, he's your ideological ally because he promotes "progressive liberalism."
You could tell me, "But I have nothing to do with George Soros and his methods," but at the same time, you demand that conservatives answer for what Hitler did...
That's your side, and those are the lords who operate within it.

>Is good because we are moving forward in the world, not back.
Given the current dynamics, if we're talking about social and economic development, the true progressives are the accelerationists who want to accelerate political and economic progress. Liberals are rather reactionary and anti-accelerationists (even for left-wing accelerationists).
That's why they're increasingly losing ground (in the US and Europe, not to mention in China and Russia, where they have no influence). This is also a danger for the old conservatives (Trump depends on Musk, a techno-libertarian). If anything, liberals are weakening (part of what's happening in L.A. is a reactionary attitude among liberals).

>Accelerationists argue that technology, particularly computer technology, and capitalism, particularly the most aggressive, global variety, should be massively sped up and intensified – either because this is the best way forward for humanity, or because there is no alternative. Accelerationists favour automation. They favour the further merging of the digital and the human. They often favour the deregulation of business, and drastically scaled-back government. They believe that people should stop deluding themselves that economic and technological progress can be controlled. They often believe that social and political upheaval has a value in itself.
>Accelerationism, therefore, goes against conservatism, traditional socialism, social democracy, environmentalism, protectionism, populism, nationalism, localism and all the other ideologies that have sought to moderate or reverse the already hugely disruptive, seemingly runaway pace of change in the modern world. “Accelerationism is a political heresy,” write Robin Mackay and Armen Avanessian in their introduction to #Accelerate: The Accelerationist Reader, a sometimes baffling, sometimes exhilarating book, published in 2014, which remains the only proper guide to the movement in existence.
