Not really, it's Noah Berlatsky, who is anything but a prototypical leftist, extremely controversial among that crowd for his truckloads of idiosyncratic opinions. 20k followers. It's like holding WASBAPPIN up as the standard of leftist foreign policy.https://twitter.com/19hassan49/status/1429179191384215559 …
I think in his perfect world he'd be allowed to personally sort the good from the bad and gas the rest. The basis he uses for his aesthetic judgments in this regard are not hotly contested among liberals or leftists. Berlatsky takes a side on live liberty/security questions.

Leftists are primarily concerned with what they call "structural" problems like institutional racism, settler-colonial imperialism, etc. They aren't very interested in sorting the good from the bad individuals. They do, like everyone, hold their political opponents in contempt.

They say they're not interested in sorting good people from bad people, but get more than two of them in a room and watch the inquisition start.
