I think I need to finish my thing on productive & unproductive ways to approach the problems on the extreme Left from a liberal perspective.

Very often, I see people say 'get your own house in order' & I agree with this when that house is defined by ideology, ethics, principles.

I disagree with it when its based on immutable characteristic. eg 'sort out white people' is less useful than 'sort out liberal lefties.'

Because the latter is a set of ideas & approaches and discussion of what the key principles are & how to go about them is essential.

But what is key is whether the intention in criticising aspects of the Left is to fix it & thus strengthen it or to undermine & weaken it.

I question the sincerity of those criticising their team if they consistently fail to recognize the bad behavior on the other side.

Obviously they recognize bad things about the other side or they would be on that side. What good does that do?!

If you only attack your sides bad behavior then you're indistinguishable from someone on other team.

Trying to fix your opponent is silly. Defending awful things cause it's your side is silly.

So point out the problems with your opponent & fix your own side so you're a better adversary.
