limiting and moderating your program. when this happens consistently you just become edgy libs - this is also frustrating bc im pretty sure this person said theyre new to leftism stuff which is fine! but idk like your perspective is important, esp in a super white group
but youre admittedly talking about things you don't have a ton of theorhetical/historical background, and are coming from being a progressive liberal, you gotta be aware that that will influence your analysis. bc this is exactly what prog libs would say, and why they get trapped
