@kissane my GOODness does this post &🧵ever resonate with me. I think “purity test” IS the right term 💯.

As a lifelong #progressive activist who is left of center, I’m being shamed on the Fedi for - what I feel are the admirable traits of - nuance:

+ understanding both/all sides
+ not exploding AT people who think differently
+ not dismissing someone full stop for having one political difference from mine

These kinds of behaviors look and feel like #extremism to me and are HARMFUL.
