this seems to be the current vibe of the US radlibs. I got forwarded a very concerned message by a friend about the recent campus protests about how you have to be careful who you associate with because they saw people in the organizing group chats saying "the october 7th attacks were cool and liberationist" (along with asking for better masking to be inclusive of immunocompromised ppl). When they weren't directly quoting/paraphrasing they described these people as "openly supporting killing israeli civilians".

I had to try so hard to not be like :waow-based:

ended up basically just saying to the person who forwarded it to me that "be careful who you associate with" was a huge red flag to me and that abandoning protests whose aims you agree with because some people there took a more radical position than you seemed counterproductive
