But if that isn't your defining trait, you'd expect it to be heavily deprioritized in the face of threats to your more first-order concerns.

Keeping the level of authoritarianism below a threshold _is_ one of my most first-order concerns :)

Unless you mean "telling people what to think" literally (which I don't believe you are), that's discourse policing, not authoritarianism.

And not a literal form of policing. :) What we're currently seeing there may be excessive, but not a reason to disavow the core values.

If someone flees at the sight of that, it's a good indicator they never agreed with the core values, not that the movement has regressed.

Which is perfectly fine. I think public crises generally has the effect of getting people to sort out their true beliefs about the world.

Well but the problem comes if you don't have _any_ movements with which you feel comfortable, right.

Then you are left primarily with the feeling that there are no other people who share your value system, which isn't fun, right...

So I _used_ to like progressive rhetoric because it sounded like it was about society letting people be who they were without demonization.

But now it is clear it is definitely not about that, at least not on social media :)

It is the opposite of that, it is about rampant demonization of a wide variety of ideas and behaviors.

Even civil libertarians "demonize" (or strongly criticize to use a less loaded term) ideas and behaviors they consider sufficiently harmful.
