There's the progressivism that depends on preserving the ziggurat of history so it can be built upon, and then there's what we're looking at here, which is the dead-opposite.

This is why I've come to view group-identity and banners as what's wrong with the world (the word 'granfalloon' has never been more relevant, yet somehow it's never made it into the common parlance, even as a "controversial" thing!): They can be counted upon to goosh together those that have no business being "on the same side", AND they divide those who should be, to boot!

"The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way.

The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

- Lao Tzu
