There isn't too much to it. The mods on half-KIA are extremely smug, disrespectful pieces of trash. They have the exact same kind of attitude that mods of shitty SJW subs have - dismissive and sneering if you speak up against them. I don't think they're particularly left-wing, and it ultimately doesn't matter - what matters is that they're jannies who don't know their place. The last straw was when they put out a vote on an extremely controversial rule that basically nobody liked, and almost everyone voted against that rule. What did they do? They just kept the fucking rule anyway and completely ignored the vote. That's when KIA2 was made by our new chad mods who actually have a spine, a thicker skin, and are exemplary users and mods. And now we're far more active than half-KIA.
While you say it doesn't matter, I think its relevant that they are nearly all quite Left, and in the early days would issue warnings for "insulting liberals/leftists" instead of calling them SJWs. There was even a big thing where they pulled a post because the guy called them commies when they were socialists. Or when they tried to remove all T_D crossover users for changing the narratives of the sub.
A lot lot lot of their behavior and actions only make sense with the fact that they are "the good ones" Leftists in their own mind, and want the sub to not be right wing at all.
I mean I'm left-wing too but I support Trump and think that both the left and the right are required for a nation to run properly. I think half-KIA mods are just shitty people in the same way a lot of SJWs are, but it's not necessarily a kind of behaviour that only arises on the left, and that always arises on the left.

Was there ever any evidence produced for this claim? One of the moderators attacked as a left-winger was a Pizzagate nutcase who was calling people pedophilies for saying that it was false.
Well if they don't like the word liberal, why did they steal it from us? It's not even like we just sat there, this was a conceited, deliberate attempt in the 19th and 20th centuries to steal the bloody label, why they would want so damn bad it is a mystery. Now they're throwing it away like a used condom.
It's worth noting that not only did they completely ignored the vote, half-KiA mods later expressed the opinion that putting the option that turned out to be most popular on the poll in the first place was an error.
If I may add to it, there were also significant issues with the head mod at the time-Raarara. The vote rule was kerosene dumped over the place, but cooler heads may have prevailed and gone 'Wait, hold on, this is necessary, let me explain why.'
Rararatard's 'Abrasive Australian Humor' instead flicked a match onto it, went 'Fuck you all, this is staying because I can tell you what to do' and ensured that goodwill evaporated faster than a glass of water in the Arizona sun. And then it kept happening, to the point where even the people that can put up with a lot pulled up a middle finger to him and wandered off.
They inherited a movement they didn't build and then burned it to the ground and sat on the ashes. Instead of risking the sub in order to fight the culture war they take 'being allowed to exist and repost news with no commentary' as a victory. And they sit on their throne of ashes and wonder why the peasants are leaving.
Nah, I don't think so, they just act like it. Just authoritarian as fuck and completely incompetent.
Tell me more please? I'm not from around these parts and I don't know the lore yet

Gonna be honest: I don't remember that one. Was that after I got kicked off the mod team last year?

I'm not even mad, I'm just amazed.
You need to work on your memory, that was david a few months before his final spergout, and I came in and shut the attempt down.

They're all left wing as fuck. One of them is a literal cuck who gets smug about it if you point it out.
