@FinalOverdrive something something leftists and drama lol. I think it's because we are extremely aware and vigilant about correctness and the implications of beliefs and ideologies and possible harm and who we associate with and stuff, because we actually care, but that can very quickly turn into hypervigilance and hyper-awareness and being on a hair trigger if your community hasn't found a stable homeostasis yet and most leftist communities simply haven't existed long enough to find that homeostasis. Also because how much we care about harm and beliefs and who we associate with and stuff makes us very easy to manipulate by people who aren't actually acting in anyone's best interest. It's why I think they're genuinely has to be some kind of niddle ground between ideological hypervigilance and conservative freeze peach culture, where we stick to just focusing on trying to root out bigotry and harm and don't get into these hyper-attenuated metadrama clusterfucks
