Progressives just follow the general vibes forward without thinking, they are mindless tools who want to go forward at any cost.
Do you realise how ridiculous your statement is once applied to another group? Change is constant. Adapting to it doesn’t mean people are without convictions. Furthermore, you are judging the destination (centric), regardless of the path taken to get there. You can end up a centrist by carefully weighing the teachings, convictions, and information multiple camps provide. Or you can end up a centrist by having no thought and refusing to take a side à la “the only way to win is not to play”.
You are also presenting a false dichotomy: either you have convictions and stick to them no matter what, or you have none and accept whatever argument happens to sway you to one extreme or the other. People are more complicated that “left right”, right-wrong, black-white,… The ability to weigh arguments, be open to comprimise, and thoughtfully consider new ideas isn’t a fault.
