maybe i dont know how 'convincing people' works but my gut reaction to 'should we let civility get in the way of actually doing something' was not becoming as unapproachable, unattractive and generally repugnant as possible

Standing up for the oppressed and speaking out against their oppressors is "generally repugnant" smuglord

Like I'm not going to defend someone who equates animal liberation on the same level with black civil rights or palestinian liberation at a meeting that is comprised almost entirely of black/hispanic/palestinian people talking about the links between palestinian and black liberation like someone I know IRL tried to do and go shouted down (rightfully I might add) when the PoC in the meeting either looked uncomfortable or offended since what it sounded like they were being equated to animals with all the racial baggage that it carries.

Do you think this kind of behavior is ok?
