>claiming my new friends are turning me into a "Machiavellian Tyrant"

Well considering you're tryin' to forcibly manipulate her into sharing you're opinions, that sounds like a perfectly accurate description.

Live and let live.
I love it when people claim "progressiveness" but can't adhere to that one simple mantra.

She has a lot of toxic ideals and behaviors. When she talks with her friends she uses the N word frequently. She also uses the word Faggot and the Phrase Sheenee Curse, its grating.

Last date we went on she said "Let's get some Chinaman food" it was gratingly offensive.

It's not your job to police another person's opinions, and it's not reasonable to demand consensus in casual conversations about social/political issues. This is why they say it's a bad idea to bring politics into a relationship. It's unlikely that you'll change her mind, unfair that you'd ask her to change her mind, and it really wouldn't be an issue if you didn't choose to argue about it.

Honestly, you sound like you're brainwashed, and she's probably right that your new friends are a bad influence. Especially if this has only recently become a source of conflict between you two.

You call yourself "progressive," but do you actually DO anything productively progressive, with real impact on other people? Or is it all just about the opinions you express in conversation? If it's the latter, then this shit is just small talk. Don't delude yourself into thinking it's more important than it is.

She is kind of a Bigot though.

I have helped petition for more inclusive clubs at the junior college I go to. I have helped petition the school to take down offensive art in the student gallery.

Speaking of Art my girlfriend is a digital artist and she draws very sexualized art that objectifies women... I try to be supportive but when my friends see her art they go on and on how crazy it is I don't do anything about it, but I am patient with her, I figure she'll take down the offensive art once she realizes it hurts people.

>being this much of a censorious shill

Uggghhhhhhh. You are part of the problem, not part of the solution. You have no idea what the word "progressive" means. You are just a brainwashed, closed-minded sheep. 20 years ago, you would've been an outspoken homophobe. 30 years before that, you would've been pro-segregation. You don't think, you just aim at easy, socially acceptable targets because it makes you feel good about yourself.

Wow. If I were your girlfriend, I would leave you. You are just ass-backwards.

Guys this is obviously bait. There are not 'progressive' people on 4chan.

>won't say nigger
>uses the words 'progressive', 'bigot', 'toxic', 'objectifies women'
>only examples of being progressive is some fucking petitions

Come on guys.

Make like Orwell and call it "bad think". 1984 amnyone?

Funnily enough, a book that was once used against right wing ideals of capitalism and shit is now literally, literally a perfect example of the left wing.

I'm not into either really, they both have their ups and downs. I just don't like the dogmatism of you "progressives".
Any-time I get told I'm either with you or against you, I always side against. Fuck your ultimatums.

>Last date we went on she said "Let's get some Chinaman food" it was gratingly offensive.

To you, a probably white lesbian.
Others would find it funny. Hell, I did. There are probably some Asian's who found it funny too.

Sure, some would have also found it offensive. But, no group of people collectively agrees on anything. In fact, by acting like the entire race would find it offensive, is kinda racist.
Are you racist OP? Is that it? Do you think they are all little daffodil flowers and we should be very delicate with them?

See, how easy it is to turn things around. In you're world, what you did just now could be perceived as "racism" and "toxic". You wouldn't be ALLOWED to have your own damned opinion.

It'd be "hate speech".

Live and let live, because the alternative is kill or be killed. When you won't let others live for themselves, they tend to fight back.

Honey progressive is the wrong word. That's not progressive. Literally look up the definition and read your reply.

Protip: Throughout history, people who advocate censorship and try to silence their dissenters, very rarely come out looking like "good guys" in the end. But at the time, they're always just so fucking sure that they're the good guys.

>you fuckers don't share my values
>agree with me or you're raping me
>die cis scum
So tolerant xd
