I think that's because there was legit leftist counter culture way back when. They were pushing back on the fundie-right who was calling everything Satanic (although they were wrong about a lot less than I thought), pushing religion in schools, etc.
Now the fundie-left is in charge and they just kind of go along.
This of course means that they were never really thinking for themselves and just went along with their team; when the team went nuts, so did they.
Dismantling the institutions that resist progressive centralization will always result in progressives replacing them with similar structures but inverted values. Centrists and lolberts fuel Deleuzian territorialization, then act surprised when they get stomped by the poz.
