Do you really believe this or it is some kind of a trolling?
It is not toxic to oppose wanton racism and fascism. If you are ashamed of opposing racism, then you are being toxic and you are enabling and sympathizing with racism. That’s on you.
You don’t get to just gainsay the opposition, claim it is “toxic” and then somehow have that treated like it’s on equal footing or deserves credibility in the same way that the original call outs of toxic racism or fascism themselves do.
You’re simply acting as part of the racist and fascist problem yourself at that point.
