I’ve always found clearing all the purity tests online leftists ask you to jump through to be the tricky part
You mean basic human decency?
Like, can you give one example of what you're complaining about as an unrealistic standard?
The purity tests usually come from leftist adjacent groups that actually have nothing to do with left wing ideology. Read Tankies and some extremely small groups of vegans (Most are fine). They for some reason love telling you "Lefties who aren't [INSERT THING HERE] are hypocritical and not real leftists"
Really it's a huge nothing burger complaining about silly people on twitter and Reddit who ultimately do not matter.
They do matter. If they didn't countries like Russia wouldn't spend so much targetting them with propaganda and pushing them not to vote or vote against admittedly flawed left of centre parties.
