Presentism

Many students are surprised by this term which means judging people and institutions of the past by present standards.  This fails to understand past motivations and often becomes a mechanism of scorn and abuse.  If you believe that morality is absolute this might make some sense but how many progressives believe in moral absolutes?

"Being woke is like a magic moral time machine where you judge everybody against what you would have done in 1066 and you always win.”
