gaf turned me from hardline left liberal to more left-of-center.
this!
I don't necessarily share your view but I understand where you're coming from.
Echo chambers like GAF almost make me feel conservative sometimes, when merely not jumping to whatever conclusion supports your worldview is viewed as a conservative stance by some people.
I don't feel any of the most commonly discussed social justice topics discussed on this forum are "petty" but a lot of them have serious tone issues that are exacerbated by posters with toxic attitudes and the mods that enable them.
Anyway, I'm willing to bet that if you were polled on several prominent topics you'd still be somewhat progressive. If they were genuinely held beliefs they're not going to be changed by the occasional nasty argument.
