that would be a hyphen between "anti" and "social" that is critical...That dash between "anti" & "social" is critical there.
Otherwise, I'm being critical of your punctuation...

What is a social progressive?

A progressive who is outgoing and a lot of fun at parties.
I try to not get stuck on labels so much. I may be on the periphery of progressivism, since I agree with a good portion of it. Of course, it depends on how one defines it, since "progressive" has been applied in different ways.
It probably goes back to when I was growing up, back when "social justice" was the in thing when people were pushing for more equality, fighting poverty, taking better care of the environment, and overall, trying to find better and less harmful ways of living in this world. At least, that's how I saw it as a kid.
I still believe in a lot of the same things, although over the years, I guess I became less and less enamored with the ways and means of politics and the system of government we have.
I use mini .. sometimes.It's a "super ellipse".
I also use hyper, mega, ultra & gonzo ellipses.
Anyone that believes in humanity and humanities inalienable rights (this is to condense everything in a nutshell).
But if you want the Google definition it is:
"Social progressivism is the ideology that seeks to resolve injustices through active reform, and is willing to uproot traditions that span generations in order to do so."
I don't go there.I use mini .. sometimes.
So it would depend on what is determined to be a social injustice? Seems rather subjective, no?
Okay then.Rarely proofred mi postings.......and that's why I didn't Name Him...
I don't know let's see: racism for example how the early abolitionists were socially progressive. They sought Africans as human beings that needed to be freed from the bondage of slavery due to the conditions that they (Africans) were in.
Another example would be giving women the right to vote, something men in this country have enjoyed for centuries.
Another would be not to kill another human for their sexual orientation.
Another would be to respect another individual's right to believe as they wish.
If you don't believe in these things maybe you're socially conservative.
Doesn't count in a joke.oH!Oh!Oh! Godwin's Law! You LOSE, sir!
Edit: referring to the Revolting one, of course...
By those examples, I'm an extreme social progressive. It's just that I see some folks claiming to be socially progressive when they're not. Some right wing Christian groups (and others) do claim they are doing what is best for society.
