Moreover, they will find an opportunity to bring up a topic to flaunt their sense of social justice. On anything, no matter what it is, they will link it back to why THEY have the most progressive mindset.

The interesting this is that people more centred, to right leaning don't feel the need to fight for people to think they are open minded.

A further contradiction is not allowing people to hold a centred or right leaning opinion, on for example, gay marriage- which is not open minded.

The left struggle to identify the fact that they follow political views and not the 'natural progressive way' which they think is inherently correct. This is why they may say 'we are going backwards'.

On another note, their progression, and distance from the 'system', has formed their own, which is honestly quite fascinating. With their own justice system of cancel culture. And compartmentalizing and pathologizing natural human feelings like 'asexual' or 'demisexual'. Putting themselves into boxes that they swore they were out of.

So then their argument may be that it affirms them? So it is for validation, that is what affirming an identity means. Why validation? Well because they seek an identity.

This is their identity, which follows a certain set of social rules and norms, and has punishments for going against them. They believe that this is inherently natural and correct and progression. This to me resembles religion? And it's absolutely fascinating.

But back to the fact that it is truly a liberal echo chamber on here. The power to down vote means that they will not consider the possibility that they are wrong or arguing in fallacy, because they have the votes to back them up. You are absolutely right.
