This is kind of easily explained :

  • Evil does not care if you're not 100% evil. If you're tainted even a little, that's good enough for them.

  • Good is obsessed with purity. If you are imperfect, or if you disagree on any point, they consider you tainted and play right into Evil's hand.

And yes, Left vs Right is just Good vs Evil, I don't think that's an unpopular statement here.

    People need to accept imperfect allies

    I think using the basic approach that everything, including evil, is on a spectrum.

    My biggest issue with people that at least presents themselves very loudly and publicly as left is that they call anyone that mildly disagrees with them right wing. And to them right wing, even center right, equals extreme right equals Nazis.

    I’m not sure whether these people are too dumb to recognize they paint themselves into a corner all the time, are useful indoors idiots for the extreme right or worse some ultra right wing uboots.

    If you want to shift society to the left, which is needed worldwide, you can’t be ultra purist holier than thou in your approach.

    tl;dr: Evil is not an absolute.

    There's no such thing as good or evil. Everyone thinks they're good. And trust me neonazis are pretty obsessed with purity

    I agree but Nazis will accept anyone until it’s time for their trip to the camps and chambers.

    Also not true. These people have blood feuds and shootouts with each other mate. You can even see this playing out in real life on Xitter daily.

    Yet we see one of the most destructive judges of the SCOTUS being black and the leader of the German right wing extremist party AFD being a lesbian in a relationship with a woman of color. These are just 2 examples on the top of my mind.

    The guys on top are united by pure greed, the guys on bottom are united mostly by being brainwashed to perceive a common enemy.

    The guys at the top share class interests. That's what unites them, not ideology. The ones at the top just say whatever needs to be said (whatever will benefit the plutocracy) to get to the top. But they're not united at all. As soon as cracks appear, they turn on each other. I just don't see this unity the OP is talking about. The problem is not that "evil is united". The problem is that it's too easy to propagandize vast amounts of the population when one controls the narrative through wealth and centralized media.

    Proud Boys was literally headed by a black man.
