When I had an argument with that guy, that was like 6, 8 years ago, way before this message board came. I think it's probably the same person probably came to conclusion he doesn't want to be in that ideology. AOV might not be far-left progressive now but he still uses all those argument tactics when he senses he might lose the argument. He still proudly wears the label atheist, too even though they are just as almost the same as far left.
He's basically a soc dem with 2010s "skeptic community" social views and views himself as part of a "big tent" of "anti-wokeness" that spans a variety of competing world views.
