I think we're likely to get on very well indeed Ms Adanero. You've correctly identified the difference between liberalism and what I'm beginning to call 'synthetic liberalism' - prima facie it seems to be very liberal indeed, but once you put it under any stress at all, the liberalism quickly falls away into what is essentially right-wing identarianism. The proponents of such ideologies are blissfully unaware they aren't liberal in any meaningful way because they are so assured of their own moral correctness.

I''ve demonstrated it most efficiently by running head first into James Finn - a prominent voice for the synthetic left. https://medium.com/lucid-nightmare/whack-a-woke-james-finn-special-86d6cb79aa11 - I think you'll probably enjoy this, as it's your article made flesh. :o)
