You don't think? They wouldnt have to be so try-hard about onboarding, and they wouldnt be griping about having to be timid, if it weren't the case.

Been in the space for 7 years now, I feel like this effort comes from a place of self-preservation, of trying to avoid a direct confrontation. I have no direct evidence but my gut feeling tells me this effort comes from center-right positions and has been premeditated.
O my observation of the left has been that, once they reach a threshold of numbers, they feel absolutely comfortable, not just airing their views, but demanding their views become canon.
I understand precisely why you’re saying that as that’s what we’re all observing in the world these days.
However, I do not think that’s a flaw inherent to the left. I’m afraid the same phenomenon can be observed in certain right wing positions/movements.
Personally, I have zero desire of playing those silly games.
Actually, I think the difference in mindset is a critical component. Conservative philosophy resists change, top-down orgabization and favors self-composure. It is an ideal fit for a protocol that requires overwhelming consensus and resists authority. Sure conservatism-run-amok looks just as much like shit as progressivism does today, but the core philosophy is a natural match.
Maybe you’re right, but, imo, if you carefully examine some mainstream leftist positions these days you’ll be able to empirically observe a ton of resistance to change.
All of this is very nuanced. But what do I now, anyway.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I see it as a demand to constantly expand what human behavior is free of consequence, no matter how many people must be fired, cajoled, intimidated, and cancelled to make it happen. The resistance to "change" is just a resistance to acknowledging there is a debate about externalities
