That's reasonable. The thing that makes me wary of people like that also make me wary of some people on my "side." A lot of them use language and tactics to attack people deemed evil by their in-group that they would criticize if used by the out-group.

If I were to pick a single litmus test for rejecting a group or movement, outgrouping might be it. It's self-deluding, unprincipled, and easily turns hateful. If there's no path toward reconciliation or peace, what are the remaining outcomes? Utter dominance? Fizzling out? Segregation? I expect more.

It depends on the movement. Are there jerks among people in the LGBTQ+ movement? Sure. Am I going to quit fighting for equality because of them? Nope. There are much worse people who would prefer it if I rolled over and died.
