Yes. There's never a reason to stop pushing for more freedom. Happy, educated people make a better society. Keeping people who are different form you silent and miserable so you don't have to have your feelings hurt by being reminded not everyone is like you doesn't make the world a better place, it just gives more power to the people who are pushing all of those bad things you mentioned onto us.
No. Fixating on radical issues and demanding complete obedience alienates moderates. Anyone who believes in national borders or some importance of biological sex is unwelcome in many Left circles. The only reason The Right has any traction right now is people who are fed up with radical wokeism. I’m a moderate liberal, and I’m just tired of fighting over trendy fringe issues when we need to focus on existential problems.
