I agree with your take on SA - he claims to be non-ideological but his writing is plainly saturated in ideology. His focus on the Wokiness of the left, that tired old trope trotted out by every lazy pundit, gives the game away.
SA tellingly has recently described Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald as leftists. This may have been true probably, oh maybe circa 2015? To assert that they represent the left today goes beyond outlierdom, it's a truly absurd proposition. Taibbi throwing his lot in with GOP types and switching sides in the culture wars? Greenwald being interviewed on Fox by his chum Tucker Carlson? Please They left the left long ago.
