    polite fascists pretending to be progressives absolutely cannot stand encountering actual leftists. it makes it hard to pretend in front of themselves that they’re not fascists.

      The liberal brainpan cannot tolerate encountering a political position that does not admit compromise unless that position harms groups large enough to be considered undifferentiated "other"s. Many such cases: racism, trans rights, animal rights, children’s rights, refugees, and I’m only hitting the highlights. To be firmly and immovably on the liberatory side of any such issue is purity politics, but there’s always room to kill a few more "other"s so the frothing blood cult will consider not voting down a non-binding procedural motion too hard. On the other hand, we know every billionaire by name, so it would be uncivil to suggest barbara-pit
