stuff like “Well you call them the scum of the earth, why wouldnt they hate you”

Why are parts of the left like this? Seemingly caring more about courting the psychopath incel who wants a white ethnostate rather than stand in solidarity and antiracism with POC?

i always get disgusted and disillusioned when i come upon it

    I hate that so much. “Leftists pushed me to the right.” No you were always a piece of shit but didn’t realize it until someone accurately called you out on it. Am I supposed to coddle people who are deliberately calling me the wrong pronoun? Am I supposed to be nice to my cousins who are active Klan members?

    When I’ve unionized we’ve inevitably worked with reactionary people who have incorrect priorities. The best way to get them to shut up is show them they’re outnumbered and to tell them to shut the fuck up. Bullying works.

    I don’t want the approval of fascists, I want them either dead or so afraid of speaking that they don’t.
