regressorista

A regressorista is a term used to describe an individual or entity that consistently employs regressive tactics or ideologies. These tactics aim to revert to or promote a perceived earlier, simpler, or more traditional state, often in social, political, or economic contexts. The term carries a negative connotation, suggesting a resistance to progress or a desire to undo established advancements.

Regressors may advocate for policies or social norms that were prevalent in past eras, often disregarding the societal changes and evolving understanding that have occurred since. This can manifest in various ways, such as opposing new technologies, advocating for the reinstatement of outdated laws, or promoting discriminatory practices that were once commonplace. The motivations behind regressorista behavior can be complex, ranging from a genuine belief in the superiority of past systems to fear of change or a desire to maintain existing power structures.

The term is frequently used in discussions about societal evolution and the challenges of modernization. Critics of regressorista viewpoints often argue that they hinder societal development and can lead to increased inequality or injustice. Conversely, those labeled as regressors might view their stance as a defense of valuable traditions or a necessary correction to what they perceive as negative societal trends. The application of the term is subjective and often depends on one's own perspective on progress and societal change.
