If the left is all about inclusivity, why is it so full of purity policing?

What you're asking is called the paradox of tolerance. It's a subset of Plato's paradox of freedom, and its refutations are roughly 30 seconds younger because it is based on a lie. Inclusivity is not an absolute axiom guiding all decisions. It is a priority applied equally across all individuals who value it. For individuals acting to undermine tolerance, the priority of fighting for the rights and freedoms of all take a higher priority position than the individual priority of tolerating individuals who disagree. Your freedoms and your rights end when they infringe on the freedoms and rights of others.
In other words, if you're an asshole, people who tell you to shut the fuck up are not the assholes. They're just trying to exist without having to deal with your bullshit. You're still the asshole, so shut the fuck up.
