"Doing nothing is not an option."
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."
It seems to me that progressives have one imperative: change. Change for its own sake. The ideas that continuity and tradition are good in themselves seem alien to them.
And they never seem to entertain the idea that some "problems" might really be just permanent features of human nature and by-products of freedom.
What I really dislike about those two phrases is the air of finality with which they are pronounced. Yes, doing nothing is always an option, and sometimes it's the best option. And no, not being a part of the supposed solution (and how do you know it's the solution?) doesn't necessarily make you part of a problem. I would say it doesn't make you a part of the problem in most cases.
And also, you can turn the clock back.
