The change has been notable in recent years. This has always been a very libertarian forum but it's been drifting to the left at an alarming speed. Very dark times for entrepreneurship and society advances indeed.

What examples of "drifting to the left" have you seen and how are those dark times for the future of society?
ITT and it’s criticism of vehicular personal transportation. And I hope that answers both questions you have.
I don't know how you are using ITT here nor is "criticism of vehicular personal transportation" all that common on this site. It does generate a decent amount of discussion but it isn't the prevailing attitude in my experience.

I also don't understand how that is "left" either.

He's saying that while we were once in the correct lane (right side for US drivers) we are drifting to the opposite lane.

He's probably also being intentionally inflammatory given the association of left and progressive politics.

I should have know that, thank you.
