:) Funny rhetoric, but there's no fact or argument there.

The application of ridicule and dimissal to everything associated with progressivism is a common pattern these days. Effectively, it's reactionary; the reactionaries have done a great job at spreading their messaging and demonizing their perceived enemies, and at the same time making people argue for their own powerlessness.

Demonization, despair (powerlessness), and ridicule are tools for people whose agenda loses on the merits.
