Progressivism is a manifestation of cultural principles that are closely associated with, and disproportionately manifested among, people of white European descent. There are liberals in every country, but the emphasis on say and sexual self expression and self determination is pretty distinct to countries founded by white Europeans.

It’s similar, in that regard, to small government conservatism. There are conservatives everywhere. But the particular antagonism to government authority is uniquely a product of certain white European cultures.
