What hope is there for society when people like Bari Weiss complain that the biggest problem with left-wing extremism is that it distracts from less extreme Leftism? She wants to get to the same destination, but less quickly!
Identity politics is the problem, whether it's the kind Bari prefers or the kind she mocks.

I am not Bari therefore I cannot claim to know the totality of her mind. I can't claim to know the totality of mine most of the time. I can however state that based on my readings of many (I doubt I've read all.) articles that she is what I would call a 'classical liberal' and supports free speech, free exchange of ideas and the other values that are placed in what would probably be called the 'Centrist' bucket now. I don't see her playing Identity politics.
I consider myself a conservative but I don't have a big problem with the center left. We need balance. But the left has a lot of explaining to do regarding the take over by the extreme left. They certainly expect the same from the right.
