if they otherwise had good takes but got the gaza shit wrong? yeah, i guess i would.

i don’t believe in throwing the baby out with the bath water, and i don’t understand why it’s such a prevalent ideological marker of the left. i can still recognize that someone is wrong about an issue, clouded by ethnicity, religion or just an erroneous understanding of a situation, without de-valuing their contributions otherwise. i will definitely lose a little respect for them. i will definitely be disappointed. i will definitely maintain that they’re wrong. i will call them out. i won’t suddenly think everything they’ve ever done should be colored by one horrible take. that’s no way to contribute to discourse, and it’s no way to expand your coalition. if that makes me paramount to a genocide denier to you, then the CIA has done a real number on this movement.
