Ya I really feel politically lost in all this.

That's why spaces like this are so important. Without some place like this I could very well see myself saying ''fuck it, I'm the hateful conservative TERF you think I am for disagreeing with even 5% of what you say, will you be happy now?''. I'd never say vote for someone like Trump but damn.

Yes, feeling much that way myself. Actually might vote Tory if they explicitly opposed this crap.

It is untenable, in my opinion, to explicitly identify with either the "Culture War" Left or the "Culture War" Right. If you do any political activism it's probably smart to just focus on specific issues like Women's Rights and lobby whichever politicians are least insane on these kinds of topics. Building independent parallel institutions is the single most important thing we need to do in the medium term so that we can prevent another complete subversion of Feminist activism from re-occurring in the future. The short term future looks horrible as the wokies have ridiculous power due to a lot of the Left and a lot of Corporations completely capitulating to their demands. With hard work and dedication, however, I think we can get back to circa ~2012 women's issues policies in 10 to 20 years. (Just trying to be realistic)

They are not the only options. It is just another false dichotomy created to confuse and divide people. Even in the classical political compass sense there are at least 4 "sides" of the political spectrum. Unfortunately the current iteration of the fashionable "left" is an authoritarian faction, but you can also be a libertarian leftist, a centrist, or just not call yourself any of those labels at all. Actually thinking for yourself and having integrity is something really worth valuing, not a meaningless amorphous label that changes meaning with the times.

I'm libertarian left according to the political compass test. but I find that a lot of the "woke" crowd is also lib left. like the kind that say Fuck T*rfs
