I'm worried that the emphasis on the alt-right and their clearly racist and sexist motivations is overshadowing any deserved scrutiny towards the left. What ever happened to the "Why I Need Feminism" campaign? I could make a dozen signs all on my own, for some serious shit my family and I have had to live through. Yet--according to the attributes that both the left and the right seem to care about the most--I am nothing more than a white, heterosexual, cis-gendered man, propped up as a poster-child for what is either wrong (to the left) or right (to the right) with the world. (But that's the thing about posters, they're two-dimensional.) I know better than to take some of my worst experiences with poor excuses for liberals to be indicative of the movement. Every job has its bad employees. But it's really easy to see how other people would see the abuse thrown at them and just wash their hands of the entire situation. The alt-right is too easy of a target. Let's not let our glee to cut them down turn us into them. |
