When I’ve asked others questions in the past I’ve been met with hostility;

It's a gigantic weak spot when it comes to the online left - a lot of people learn new thngs that make them angry, but haven't learnt enough not to be toxic about it - leading to what some has called the "Circular Firing Squad" effect. We all go through it, I guess.

The fact that there genuinely are a lot of bad actors feigning "leftism" online doesn't make it any easier.
