I don't know about that. They are getting laws changed-- how much more political power should a group expect to have?

"nuh uh, that blue haired fucker on youtube is the real face of the pc sjw leftist antifa supersoldiers - what you say is void"
Pox on both their houses.
That comes down to the No True Scotsman, doesn't it? It sounds as though any obviously-left person who says obviously-left ideas that you can't personally endorse isn't the "real face of the pc sjw."
But the fact is that there as many manipulative and annoying people with left-leaning politics as right-- not because of the nature of those ideologies, but because of the nature of people. It doesn't really matter whether they are PC Left ™-- they are using the ideology of the left in extreme, unpleasant and unproductive ways.
Peterson always talks about the Leftist nutjobs as "Extremist," by which he means not to include the left, in general, in his objections.
