    Yeah. I supposed that is the joke of it. The image is actually describing is someone a tad left of center.

    Actual leftism extremists have nothing but excuses for the human right violations.

    It’s an essential requirement for being an extremist. The moment one recognizes they’re doing it and voices the concern, they are violently ejected from the movement.

      You are describing a small minority of self-styled leftists who largely are terminally online.

      Those doing the real work, such as practicing mutual aid or organizing tenants unions, are not generally defending historic atrocities.

      The point of the post is that the window of mainstream discourse has shifted so far right that even basic human empathy has become controversial.
