It's very difficult to choose a single term to describe the cultural cluster that sho is referring to, that would not result in quibbling over the term, or whether it's a thing. I know which cultural cluster he's talking about. Closely related or alternate terms include social justice warrior, authoritarian left, regressive left, cultural marxist, identity politics, oppression stack, 3rd wave feminist, virtue-signaling left, neo-puritan, and so on. I've omitted a dozen other terms that are more like slurs, but I'm still a bit disappointed that most of these have some degree of negative connotation. I can't think of a totally neutral term that would be recognizable.

Progressive? That’s what they call themselves, mostly.

I’m sure they do, but to me that term is much broader than the subculture I’m trying to describe.
