Language: How meanings change.

I notice here repeated use of the word "Progressive" in terms of Politicals and Social Policy as a negative. Human civilisation is based around progress. (Except for the Dark Ages thing) How did Progress get to be bad?😷

@markansas Very good..And the answer is, "it depends". The idea is undoubtedly good. Some of the acts carried out in the name of Antifa were were undoubtedly bad. We can then speculate how many people used the Antifa banner to riot, steal, loot and commit other crimes.😷
