    Being against genocide and apartheid isn't a purity standard. It's the literal ground floor of not being a monster. Even some liberals can clear that one.

    I wish this were a unique thing but I've seen "literally any moral standard is purity politics and purity politics is bad" in the wild before, years ago.

      It's a weirdly common take. Shouldn't get any runtime at all considering where a lack of standards gets you, yet here we are.

    If you can't meet the standard of "don't kill people and steal their land" then you need to fucking go

    "You should be including women in your activism if you are a leftist. That fucking includes TERFs and SWERFs. If you make our survival conditional on meeting a purity standard, you're disgusting."

    Who first uttered the words "purity test"? Whoever that was has singlehandedly set progress back by twenty years.

    "Only we fascists get to hold people's survival to an arbitrary purity standard, if you do it to us you're a disgusting untermensch"

    Yes, lets add a bunch of unhinged nationalists to our leftist orgs. What could possibly go wrong?

    I'm sure they have a good argument this time around.

    blob-no no no-gru bugs-no

    I have duly considered the merits of their argument, have weighed the evidence...

    Translation: My zionist belief that Palestinians are subhumans worthy only of genocide is pure and ok and if you stand with them you hate all Jews
