One of the most frustrating things to me is how often people's left-wing views are used to legitimize their reactionary views.

• LGBT people who accuse asexuals of "appropriating and diluting their struggle"
• Radlibs who call advocacy of indigenous sovereignty "supporting ethnostates"
• Feminists who imply that men can't be victims of SV because "they belong to the oppressor class"
• Anti-colonialists who argue against veganism because "veganism is anti-indigenous"

Lots of people will identify and fight for their own material interests, but empathy with and support for the struggles of others is depressingly rare.
