Reply to comment by dj_spanmaster in TIL Queen Sophie of the Netherlands’ marriage with King William was so turbulent that when she died, she was buried in her wedding dress because she viewed her life ended on the day she got married. by AsianInvasian93
Is this a satire account of how people think 'progressives' are? None of this makes sense.

Nope, just a person trying to make sense of the world, with apparently drastic misunderstandings of concepts. From what I can tell the distinction between progressives and neoliberals as they currently exist in the US is along those lines. It's the thorough misapplication to historical contexts that is incorrect. As I mentioned in other comments, history hasn't ever been my strong suit. I'm still deprogramming such "facts" as Noah's flood happening because of reservoirs that were stored under our tectonic plates, the Earth being 6000 years old, and humans walking with dinosaurs within that time. As much work as it is to learn anew, it's double work to unlearn.
