Many academics I see online are leftist whereas many laypeople I see online are right wing.

That missed the point entirely.

In-groups: The law protects these people, but it does not restrict them.

Out-groups: The law restricts these people, but it does not protect them.

This is a core structure of conservatives. There is no similar core structure for the left because the left does not rely on it.

    You, once again, miss the point entirely.

    Belief that everyone is part of a camp is tenuous to say the least and leads to a us and them rhetoric that prevents us from properly defining subjects.

    Part of this is simply conservativism is a backwards philosophy that looks to reinforce traditional hierarchy. Conservatives might not like this reality, but that is another discussion.
