The ACLU of yore defended the right of Neo Nazis to march through Skokie, a Jewish suburb which I believe had the highest % of Holocaust survivors at the time. They were left leaning, but very principled.

They were tactical - they defended the right of their enemies to make themselves look like losers and villains.

I'm sure that was part of it, but you will not find that attitude anywhere on the left today. This goes back to a development that people are only now slowly waking up to: There are very few "principle" or "policy" true believers left, and their power is dwindling.

The reason for this is diversity. In his autobiography, Lee Kwan Yew makes the observation that, in a diverse society, people don't vote based on policy, they vote based on their racial or religious group. Broken up a bit more, I think this describes well what we're seeing.

This is also why we've seen increasing polarization, and people taking extreme positions. Policy is downwind of demographics. There are two groups just beginning to battle it out for control of the west. All the craziness we're seeing is just an amuse bouche.

It's diversity but directly - diversity in the elite undermined their cohesion now they all immediately defect on each other. ACLU could defend nzs tactically b/c the rest of the left wouldn't try to turn on them. Now they instantly defect on each other for insufficient leftism

This is actually one of the rare things that does start bottom up. Ask yourself, how do those diverse elites get there in the first place?

"Slowly, then all at once" as the saying goes. Insert a few based on talent to better fulfill your institutional mission, they bring in trusted co-ethnics, those guys bring in etc.
