i don't think she's even doing that. note this part:

They show more empathy IRL in spaces they’re recruiting in [emphasis mine]

it seems clear to me from her words that she doesn't like that this was her experience, that "leftists" have not been as willing to try to accommodate her while recruiting. and that shows part of why they've been effective in radicalizing people. as long as you're not against them (and you're not visibly not white or not hetero), they're willing to try to get you to be with them.

hence they are able to effectively radicalize ppl.

    I'm not American so maybe I'm mistaken here, but my impression is that if you go to stereotypical right wing social spaces like churches, country clubs, right wing bars, etc they're not going to start masking up because one immunocompromised person showed up and asked for that accomodation.

    that is exactly correct, and i think that's why the context of this tweet is important. there's also undoubtedly both a racial and gender component to that reaction by them: namely that taylor lorenz is a young, normie-looking white woman. there's nothing that a nazi of this variety would find immediately confrontational about her. in other words, they probably assumed from her immutable characteristics that it was worth their time to be accommodating to her for the sake of recruitment and PR.
