the problem with demsocs going 'how dare you insinuate that anarchists just exist to be shock troops for movements that actually matter' to liberals is that in revealed preference demsocs think about them the exact same way
if Jordan Petersons life hadnt completely fall apart he probably stands for Parliament at some point in the past decade
