Who are also connected to said fascist hashtags.
These people are not leftists. They arent your friends.

Here is a contra mod calling BJG and her podcast rich kid fascism. Which is hilariously ironic.. considering contra is that.
As I said, my research resulted in them being friends. Apparently she also does some editing and probably gives some advice here and there (https://web.archive.org/web/20190708020125if_/https://www.twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/1148028660491923458). If she does a good job at this, and helps spreading a more left message, isn't that good?
She has made videos with Literal neo nazis no she should not be an employee of any self respecting person. The fact that she made videos with white nationalists automatically should make her unemployable by contra. Also a white south african
I would hire my friends who have problematic views if they can do the job I need them for well. Gets them out of their bubble, helps my message, and makes them actively work on spreading a left message. Everyone wins in this case.

There’s a difference between being problematic and supporting a white ethnostate and being White from South Africa.
I know someone who used to believe that the Middle East should get nuked, except for Israel. He grew up in Israel. Does that count as bad enough?
He has since then improved and given up on most of his Islamophobia. There is still some damage caused by growing up surrounded by so much propaganda, but overall he has moved far to the left. Your approach would have been to call him names and isolate him, helping exactly 0 people.
Yes. It’s not any self respecting persons job to rehabilitate fascists. And openly employing people with fascistic views makes you suspect as well.
I guess I am basically a fascist because I have spent many days of my life arguing with them. I need to be more lazy and isolate people, then cry about them radicalising themselves.
I just don’t waste my valuable limited time on people who have reactionary world views. It’s not my problem
True, you are lazily living in your bubble and attack those reaching outside of it.
You don't have to do it, but don't attack others who do.
