you will find that not allowing Nazis and the likes into your community generally ties it together, rather than cuts it apart.

"And the like" including people who see that BLM has accomplished not even nothing, but destroyed the small chance of taking the issue of police brutality seriously. It's not a black vs white thing. It's a police vs civilian thing, and a problem of police being under trained. People who want to stop people from dying by taking the problem seriously: "nazis". :(

  Wow you read a whole lot of your own biases into that. Says more about you than the project.

    "nazis and the like" implies the other things listed in the same list I think. If the poster didn't mean that then sure. But I think he did.

Until it doesn't. It isn't the case that even if everyone agrees on the BLM, Trans rights, and the outcome of WWII will agree on future issues of the day. Thier stance sets up an expectation that the language should have an official position on these topics. I even gave an example. A community that fosters professionalism rather than explicit ideology won't have this problem.

  The professional thing to do is to not cooperate with people that support obviously criminal states. Don't work with iranians spying on refugees. Don't work with zionists that support the ongoing crimes against the palestinians. Don't work with people that support the russian invasion of Ukraine. It's pretty much the same as don't enter into professional relations with the local mafia, it's mostly a matter of scale and available weaponry. If I recruit you into my organisation I trust that you will not bring in criminals into our enterprise. I would not hire you if I thought that it could bring attention from the fuzz or expose us to extortion.

I'll bite, does "the likes" include tankies?

  If they’d fracture your community, sure.
