Here's a fun question.
I see leftists/progressives succumb to this ALL. THE. TIME.
Definitely we should do better.
I think another important question about this though...
How do we make right wing extremists do worse?
No, honestly, they don't have this problem nearly as much, and it would be real helpful if they did.
How can we help them along. Because goodness knows they encourage it in the left.
Worth thinking about I think.
I might be wrong, but my understanding is that lateral violence is pretty foundational to the far right. Its how they maintain discipline and the illusion of purity.
We disrupt them by forging connections between people. Finding and sharing humanizing context, and helping each other recognize the root causes of our struggles instead of latching on to a scapegoat.
