I think this is exactly why so many Millennials and GenZers use our profile bios to just list a bunch of identity terms. It helps to show, in simple terms, as a general overview, the complexity of humanity and identity.

Very true. I think many Bitcoiners I engage with online like to approach, at least conversation with me, in very black and white terms
Progressive = fill in the blank
Bitcoiner = fill in the blank
Progressive is a very, very broad identifier depending on so many things for instance. We’re all just people trying to figure this thing (life) out.
And for me, I guess kind of controversially, I don’t think there is a meaning to life. I think it’s up to us to create it and live in harmony the best we can.
But then you use the word progressive a lot. As a brit living in a very american expat community, its been weird to constantly hear that. Its either one badge or the other it seems, with the other constant of convservative. I am slowly coming to the conclusion as i make less effort to join in conversations that its an easy way to give a "club" identity to cover tge simple fact that theres a cultural lack of desire for proper understanding. I actually word counted on one night. I left when i realised i averaged 3 words in response to a question before being interrupted. Most bizarre. Why ask the question?
Maybe these labels are being thrown around more because people are losing the art of listening
