PHILOSOPHY: Why is Self Control Sinful to Progressives?

The Dynamic Duo known as "Based Camp" come out with yet another doosey of a video, this one on a topic very near and dear to my heart: the refusal by "progressives" to acknowledge the critical importance of self control. The issue is philsophical, but the implications are very political.

We discuss how modern progressive culture glorifies losing self-control, pursuing pleasure/happiness as the highest aim in life, and avoiding discomfort. We contrast this with historical and conservative values around self-mastery, overcoming fear/anxiety, and finding meaning by improving future generations. We argue the progressive view diminishes human potential and actual happiness.
