Well, I can't speak for his motivations, but I can speak for mine.
I like liberal values more than conservative ones, for the most part. Technology is changing, and the world is getting smaller, and conserving the status quo seems unlikely to aid us in moving forward.
However, when liberal memes are used to prevent free speech, to manipulate the values of the population, or to establish legal or financial policies that cannot possibly succeed, then I feel it's my responsibility as a free thinker and as a western-educated human being to resist it going too far.
Some of the semantic and identity issues these days are stupid in my view. WAY too much linguistic and legal consideration has been given to what to call a man in a dress, or a completely white woman who goes around telling everyone she's back. When words are forced through social pressure to mean what they not-mean, then I'd say the society is insane, and I see this as extremely dangerous.
This is because the rules guiding behaviors are predicated upon a language which is precise enough for people to call things what they are. Sentences like "My daughter was shocked because that woman didn't cover her penis in the locker room" need never be uttered in any sane society.
