The above, it seems to me, is not so much a declaration of values as a psychological profile.
As Rafi says in reply,
Not having to deal with such people does have a cash value. If in order to use a communal laser cutter, you first have to “strive to uphold” the notion that sex differences are unrelated to biology, that “meritocracy is a joke,” and that, despite all available evidence, “nonbinary people” somehow aren’t aggravating poseurs… Then, well, buying your own laser cutter seems a much better option.
After all, this life is finite and best not wasted on proximity to wankers.
Oh, and some of that super important intersectionality.
Not having enough storage space can make a big difference: If it’s a chore to put things away in an organized fashion, then chaos is more likely to creep in.
Not necessarily on display–literally or figuratively. Most of the polyamorists I’ve known were not exhibitionistic, just messed up in other ways. And Sheldon Cooper may be funny on TV (sometimes) but I would find him impossible to deal with in real life, not least with his Relationship Agreements.

I’m such a sweetie.
But maybe you can let David look occasionally.
What was that old radio show with the recurring gag about the closet so full that opening the door resulted in an avalanch?
“Where the hell are those boots I’ve never worn?”
“They’re in there somewhere…”

Fibber McGee and Molly.
Among the many, many items stuffed in there, in numerous teetering piles, often for reasons that escape me, was a crate of 12″ singles.
I haven’t owned a turntable since 1993.

Regarding British policing and free speech, Blackadder has thoughts
That video has been making the rounds, but it’s from the 2012 Reform Section 5 campaign, which was successful in 2013.
I expect Atkinson’s views on the subject today would be exactly the same, but no one’s asked him.
I don’t know how accurate that observation is, but it reminds me of Sheldon Cooper
Polyamorists are of a piece with the blank-slate, novy sovetsky chelovek types who think they are supremely rational above all other human beings, and not at all driven by deep-rooted emotional responses to stimuli encoded by thousands of years of evolution.
I noticed one of the commenters zeroed in on the “100% of people like Aella were sexually abused as children” phenomenon.
They do seem to often think of themselves as super-rational.
Just occurred to me that nearly all the polyamorists I have known did not have children. A possibly significant datum.
