Yes, I criticize overzealous social justice advocates. Yes, I’m willing to criticize the left. Yes, I have the audacity to believe that Israel has the right to exist. Yes, I mock Tumblr “communists”. Yes, I believe that members of marginalized groups deserve to be held up to the same standards as everyone else.

However, all of you people who try to lump me in with the alt right and neo Nazis fail to realize that politically, I AM ON YOUR SIDE. I want universal healthcare. I want police and prison reform. I want marginalized groups to feel safe and welcome in this country. Most of your views are my views too.

I’m also ethnically Jewish and 2018 has been a banner year for antisemitism - from both the left and the right. How the fuck do you people expect me to feel when I’m lumped in with people who think that my very existence is a blight on humanity?

This post is a response to something fairly silly. I was blocked by @palaeofail-explained on that post about thecomicsnixoegacy/Carlos Albuquerque because some sniveling tattletale informed them that “neo Nazis” were reblogging it. I somehow ended up in that group. It just pisses me off that even a non-political blog writes me off as not “pure” enough based on word of mouth. But it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve been dealing with this bullshit for way too long. I’m sick of it. I don’t need to pass some fucking litmus test just because I don’t toe the line.
