I am on the cusp of X and Millennial generations,
I despise both SJWs and the far-right, and I'm also sceptical of classical liberalism. Human nature is way from perfect and thus personal freedom needs to be limited in some ways, behaviours like drug dealing, pornography and arguably prostitution have to be curbed so that a civilized society could prosper. My political views could be described as moderately leftist (GW Bush's compassionate capitalism) when it comes to economics and moderately conservative (but not traditionalist) when it comes to culture. I agree that identity politics is toxic. I don't see anywhere a political movement I could identify with. I liked neo-conservatism, but its mostly gone.
SJWs seem to be mostly millennial, but inspired by boomer countercultural movements like radical feminism from the 70s. The identitarian movements and classical liberalism are dominated by Xers. They seem to identify most not with what they support, but what they oppose. The most important thing for them is being against "political correctness".
