I didn't bother discussing how online leftist infighting affects real life, it's not relevant compared to, say, the much realer issue of left-orgs blowing up because of, say, someone being outed as a sex pest or someone slandering someone they don't like anymore (which isn't an issue only relegated to the left, the right does this way more often)

Please don't get me wrong, my motivations were not 'both sides' or something along those lines. Maybe not obviously, but it's clear to me that we both believe the side bringing measles back is the wrong one.

My problem is that these terminally online leftist spaces end up being the narrative sent to (or experienced by) the brainwashed masses on the right. Simply not engaging with an online space is ineffective when trying to combat their manipulation of word of mouth messaging.

I'm not trying to argue for the right to say slurs. Unless they're directed at conservatives, then I'm conflicted.
