It is funny when you put it that way. Thousands of years of empire, philosophy, and nation building, and some kid that grew up playing Minecraft thinks he can do better without having in most cases even read the greater history of the world or the ongoing conversations on it.
Augustus was 18 when he inherited what would become the Roman Empire.
When I was 18 I didn't even have a job.
The idea that I would made a better ruler than the most powerful man in history is simply ludicrous, and yet we see people who think if they were in charge they would get communism right this time, even though they can't even maintain basic hygiene.
I found an interesting quote that I saved a while ago. It describes what you're saying fairly well.
“Out of every hundred new ideas ninety-nine or more will probably be inferior to the traditional responses which they propose to replace. No one man, however brilliant or well-informed, can come in one lifetime to such fullness of understanding as to safely judge and dismiss the customs or institutions of his society, for those are the wisdom of generations after centuries of experiment in the laboratory of history.”
By far the most annoying thing about progressives is the unearned smugness. They are so proud to believe what every major institution tells them to believe. The grooming is actually the most annoying thing but the smugness is a close second.
Islam is right about women (as are all old school religions). And progressivism is wrong about... everything.
Progressivism is a bunch of jobless morons thinking they know better than literally every great ruler of every great civilization in human history.
