Left is a misleading term as these people have nothing to do with the Left as I understood it.

I realise Liberal in the US does not mean what it does in the UK, not that keen on that either.

Activists?

Regressive Left.

The left's version of the evangelical right. You know, ban concepts/words we don't like. Silence discussion by "Goddidit/Socialism" or "Bigotry and racism." Shelter yourself from perfectly reasonable opposing viewpoints because they're "not in the Bible" or "triggering."

Not bad, there is nothing really Left about them. Sometimes I think Politics is a circle and they have gone all the way around.

Yes. I would contend that there is nothing "liberal" or "progressive" about judging an idea or person based on said person's "level of oppression" rather than their merit.

I would also contend that there is nothing "small government" about using government to ban what isn't "moral."

A bit like American Legislation where the name seems to be the opposite of the intent. The Regressive Left and Hard Right have more in common with each other than anybody else.
