I’ve tweeted twice in the last week about a tendency on the Left to shut down discussion of difficult issues with accusations of bigotry. One person called me a Nazi sympathiser & another likened me to spreading Hitlerite propaganda. It’s almost like they want to prove my point.

I was mulling over this same topic earlier. I think it comes down to the fact that many leftists can't conceive of a reason you would disagree with them, apart from total selfishness or a wish to see people suffer:https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal/status/954050127546798082 …

When I was a hard leftist, I did indeed think that way; anyone who disagreed with me about specifics was simply not interested in an equal world. I never thought of dissenters as Nazis, but I did view them as unscrupulous.

I too have been down that road some years back. On a similar note, when it’s a PoC who publicly disagrees with LW narratives, it’s not just that they are “wrong”; they must be a fraud or a paid stooge whose shady connections must be uncovered.

Absolutely. When I now argue with leftists, they basically imply as strongly as they can: "We did so much for people like you, and now you betray us!" As though we POCs are helpless little poochies who they raised and domesticated, and who now bite the hand that fed us. Racists.
