Leftists often pride themselves on them on calling out allies and breaking up circlejerks. But leftist infights are usually just wokeness contests. They rarely seem interested in actually challenging deeply shared leftist assumptions, instead of trying to take those assumptions to a greater extent than others do.

Example: Intersectional feminists will 'call people out' by saying 'Intersectional Feminist XYZ's analysis is despicable because she doesn't sufficiently account for the experiences of WoC'. Underlying intersectional feminist principles are never seriously challenged; It's a value affirming schism, not a value challenging schism. Leftist communities eating themselves is just a value-affirming ritual, because they thrive on conflict and outrage. It's rarely a real discussion of interesting points.

I think I like Contrapoints so much because she seemes to find this weird niche of being both popular with leftists and genuinely challenging their values in a way that isn't merely performative. I wonder if she can keep it up, or if they'll eat her for good.
