kbjjkgvg··on Those People We Tried to Cancel? They’re All Hanging Out Together
I'm a leftist and all the leftists I hang out with have some grubby-ass humour that wouldn't fly anywhere 'civil'. We just don't make racist/transphobic/etc jokes. It's honestly not that hard and this idea of the oversensitive progressive is overplayed and not grounded in reality.

On the other hand, being forced to Gab/Quillette means these people get far less mainstream exposure. Furthermore, those on the path to radicalization often see the true spirit of the ideology when the leaders move to more extremist-accepting platform and are able to reject the beliefs.

When reddit banned /r/fatpeoplehate the problem moved around for a little bit, but it promptly died. Or when the white nationalists were forced to move to Voat, their numbers dwindled.
