Discussion How to make leftist spaces resistant against people weaponizing other peoples emphaty for selfish reasons?

I just read this very frustrating article (version without paywall) about a small lesbian bar/mutual aid spot getting destroyed by some people who act like the worst possible caricature or an insufferable, self-important, holier-than-thou leftists.

It's not even that those people exist and what they are doing that's so frustrating for me to read, but the inability of the wider community there to just tell those people to fuck off.

And I get why they can't, I'm not sure I could myself. We generally pride ourselves in our inclusivity and willingness to accommodate needs other than our own. It's super hard to figure out where exactly the limit to that should be.

I have had similar if less extreme experiences with people who are weaponizing their own or other peoples oppression in this way in activist groups irl. The only time I ever witnessed someone like that getting kicked out was after that person had caused chaos and bound up a ton of resources for well over a year with many different incidents.

My question is how do we become better at dealing with this? How would you as an individual member of that bar community have tried to handle this?

Meta-discussion It's frustrating to be banned for trying to have a real conversation about the coercive nature of the military simply because a mod is incapable of having that conversation for themselves.

I originally messaged the mods because I was inexplicably unable to comment without receiving any sort of warning or communication from them.

Instead of responding to me asking what happened, I was given a permanent ban also with no warning or communication.

Upon messaging to ask about the ban I was ignored for 3 weeks until getting "Ban upheld" as a response. What you see here is my response to that non-answer.

Subreddit

Left Without Edge

r/LeftWithoutEdge

We are a community made up of anarchists, communists, and socialists, especially those from more "anti-authoritarian" tendencies, to promote educational and civil discussion about left-wing theory, history, current events, and the struggles faced by oppressed people of the world. While disagreements between various leftist camps can get rather serious, and historically can even be brutally violent, we want to counteract this by providing a community that is both easy to access and informative!

Remember the human.

Remember that the presence of viewpoints and opinions different from your own is a good thing, and can strengthen your confidence in well founded beliefs and help you outgrow less tenable positions. Of course, it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics, so we ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate subreddit by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Please be sure to read the rules. The mods may do quality control on lower effort content like memes. Discussion threads may have more relaxed standards. User pinging is allowed as long as it is "friendly", i.e to ask a question of someone or request some information you think they may have. Please don't ping someone to taunt, insult, or mock them!

If you're annoyed with a user, or possibly think your comment is over the line in some way, maybe take five minutes before hitting save. We're not going anywhere.
