I care because it's been increasingly impossible to say these "oddballs" are being extremely shitty people and should stop. The message they get and the message they have been getting is they are "agents of change". There has been a few terrorist events with this kind of radicalism (Audrey Hale being the worst case) but the left is still allergic to criticizing this. Just how bad do things need to get? I agree the republican party is worse than democrats. I'm not American, I don't live in a first world country but I would vote for them. I think electing Trump was horrible. I don't think Bernie is an antisemite, I think the people on the left who hate Bernie for having empathy for kidnapped, tortured Israelis are, of which there are many. Gamergate and the alt right were fringe until Trump. The media and culture moved at a glacial pace before it started seeing them as a problem. Will we see the same thing happen on the left? A president that supports terrorism and violence against the "opressor" race and talks of guillotines? I think that's an improbable nightmare scenario but so was Trump at gamergate times. Again you went from "this never happens" to "of course it sometimes happens, but it doesn't matter". All Ivy League representatives in congress calling defending the eradication of Jews not hate speech? No instance of antisemitism on the left at all? This is why I'm suspicious of oddballs not mattering. They don't matter until they do and when they do they're correct and me and others are being insane. This boundary pushing of violence and bigotry is exactly how we got Trump and I really wish there was only one group of stupid violent demogogues running around to deal with, not two.
