I think the point he's making is that left is not the same as liberal

u/Hongkongphooey makes that argument too. I respect it. I don't mean to be patronizing, but I think that's just part of the journey of realizing liberal ideology is what lead to the left, and is part of the problem. Much in the same way everyone in TiA can agree TRAs are a problem, but still support LGB.

I think a lot of us here can be described as anti-woke left, center-right or some other nuanced leaning.

That describes most of Saidit even though tihs site probably seems super right wing coming off Reddit so recently.
