@Elizafox that's the conclusion I'm also coming to. Increasingly I find myself arguing the other side of debates I took the identitarian side of in the 90s. I don't think what I argued them was wrong as such, but rather that I tended to strawman the other side of the argument, and pathologize dissenting views, which I now see leftists doing a lot in debates in the fediverse (they're not the only ones though, by a long shot).
