   There are two types of leftists. Those that operating on strong conceptions of justice and compassion, and those who are motivated based on guilt and optics. (The latter type isn't unique to leftists though). I try to be the former.

     You can usually suss out the latter in how they treat marginalized people. Guilt totems you're constantly trying to suck up to make *yourself* feel better about your privilege or guilt, or full equal human beings who you want to help dismantle the structures that oppress them, because you care about justice and have compassion for them? People acting out of guilt don't think about the mechanics of justice and the particular context of situations, they just unthinkingly side with whoever they feel most guilty towards because it's still *all about them* because it's *all about assuaging their feelings of guilt*, not actual justice or compassion.

     It's the difference between people that misgender you and get all *sorry* and start begging your forgiveness and wailing about how terrible of a person they are, because their support for you is all about their guilt and their feelings, and people who just correct themselves and move on and get better over time, because it's about justice and compassion.
