This adds to it a lot, and I think it is a frustrated 'left' that is left on the sofas. They have been betrayed and turned around, and now resigned, so all the activism is left with conservatives, commerce and msm....
I have also seen a certain cynism on that side; a lot of ideas arrived at the conclusion that humans are simply stupid, destroyers of the planet, lazy and whatsoever. And the appreciation for all things human went out of the window....

Maybe we need new definitions of 'sides'.
