Some overweight blogger with pink hair and identifying as nonbinary and posting #bodyposi selfies or whatever caricature pops in your mind when thinking about Tumblr should
not bother you, shake you to your core, or upset you more than the reality that there are real viable movements of people entering our mainstream politics who would be okay with the eradication of black/gay people, who have the proximity to power and (as seen with Trump) can snatch it.
The idea that "extreme leftism" is "as bad" as far right white nationalist ideas is.. whew, frightening and sad.
The nonbinary kid with blue hair in your biology class who just wants everyone to feel accepted is
not a threat to you, let alone supposed as much of a threat as literal white supremacists, literal fascists, and people literally for the torturing of gay people.
Doesn't feel too good does it?
