Frankly I probably come off as much more right-leaning on Reddit than I actually am in real life

I know that feel. I am what you would probably label as a liberal. I was raised in a Democratic stronghold. I flirted for a time with socialism but decided it had way too many problems and problematic people. But I have been getting increasingly alarmed and disgusted with the absurdity and viciousness of the woke left. They claim to love "diversity" but only if it is superficial diversity. They do not respect real differences. They think that all white people are one way, and all "BIPOC" - or whatever the latest term is - are another way. Think about just the fact that there exists a term for everyone who is not white, all lumped together into one. They think that all men are one way, and all women are another way (unless they are trans in which case they are somehow the opposite way). They claim to want to support oppressed identities, but they can't really conceive of there being different kinds of experience within identity groups. They love censorship and they hate difference of opinion or critical thinking. They avoid or shut these things down by constantly creating new terms, rendering them meaningless, then calling people bigots for not keeping it up with it all. They are humorless and vindictive.
