Have you seen progressive people be discriminatory either intentionally or unintentionally and if so in what way?

Edit: I didn’t actually think I’d need to put this here but unfortunately I think those kinds of people are here Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry I am progressive myself and support human rights and LGBTQ+ people

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of purity tests.

  • “You’re either with me or against me / You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem”
  • “If you don’t satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you’re as bad as a nazi”
  • "We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you’re not to be trusted"
  • etc

i really have never encountered someone like this.

unless the ‘purity test’ is being anti genocide or pro trans rights. you know, basic fundamental shit.
