It’s not a strawman—just do the math on what % of humanity is one or more of {racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, …}, bearing in mind that failing to toe the progressive party line on even one category makes you a “bigot.”

jumping back into this thread to point out that sometimes, socjus accusations about, eg, libertarians really being closeted nazi sympathizers are accurate.https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1054733083738628096 …

(I don't think "Nazi sympathy" is either a fair or a charitable way to characterize that tweet The joke relies on his Dislike of Nazis)

Replying to @eigenrobot @LexCorvus and
it literally states that an action taken by nazis (one that was a precursor to genocide, too, not something meaningless in this context like instituting some law against animal cruelty) makes him likes them more. 'Sympathizer' seems fair.

Replying to @hikikomorphism @LexCorvus and
the joke is that he doesn't like Nazis and doesn't want to like Nazis "Stalin pushed for a return to traditional gender norms" "UGH stop trying to make me like Stalin" you would hardly infer the speaker was a Stalinist sympathizer no?

The subtext I'm reacting to here is that despite not wanting to like Nazis he finds himself attracted to them anyway. This is pretty standard in alt-right rhetoric, the whole 'I'm only moving far rightward in reaction to xyz provocation by The Libs' is a common theme.
