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

This attitude is part of what generated Chapo and the "dirtbag left"

That’s not true at all. The “dirtbag left” was basically just a bunch of people fed up with civility politics of the Liberals, and CTH was very good at skewering freakoid reactionaries in ways that would make Liberals faint. That was the appeal, that people were willing to bite back against reactionaries with polemic and incisive language instead of the boring banality of the Dem Soc wet blankets
