(this is an oversimplification, not all left-leaning people do this; mostly just whenever I *do* get this response it has been 100% from very left-leaning people)

I agree with the sentiment, but I usually just plead laziness. I tend to not want to spend time digging out links and sources for stuff I've read in passing weeks ago for random internet arguments. But I also don't care if people believe my argument or not either.

As a lefty I have never had issue with your questions or surveys.

Wtf I’ve never even considered that before! How is surveying people (when it’s their choice to answer) even remotely close to exploitation?
-
I think they have a really different view of exploitation than I (and you) do. Usually they have a big theory framework of stuff like marginalization that goes into that word.

left-leaning, or liberal?

Yknow how if you go too far right there's scary racist people and terrifying judgy conservatives who send their gay kids to cure camp? Like that thing, except on the left.

There's more of a tradition of esoteric knowledge on the left. Look at anarchists and marxists with all their nuanced political categories and theories. Being versed in this stuff is a status symbol in these communities, so by asking for simple explanations, you're "cheating".
-
I usually think of the differences between anarchists as genuine enough to prevent anarchists from organizing an achieving anarchy. Definitely not superficial.
