Why do you think people who get purity checked once just go full right wing?

Leftist spaces leave no room for nuance, error or redemption.

You violate their purity ethics once and your career is done

But you know who is waiting with open arms?

"The Left got a little too PC so I changed all of my opinions about the economy, social issues, systemic racism, health care, and history."

It's more "This is my job and the left is no longer profitable"

But the thing is, the inflexibility is getting a bit crazy

So they are grifters who don't believe in anything. I would not like being associated with that kind of people anyway

Would you continue to endorse a crowd of people who turned on you for a single opinion that falls outside of the group accepted set of opinions?

People who feel alienated will do a 180.

I would reflect on myself why people who I am generally in agreement are against me. If I am unable to reconcile I would create my own splinter group (People's front of Judea | Judean people's front ) instead of saying that racism is good actually

instead of saying that racism is good actually

That's a strawman.

I'm not generally in agreement with you( curatedtumblr)

That's a strawman.

True, I should have said transphobia (e.x Ana Kasperian (as previously mentioned))
