    i don’t think unknowingly supporting shitty people is that bad. mistakes happen, after all.

    knowingly supporting shitty people, and then saying it’s fine because you’re wanting to create a big tent that includes everyone, even fascists, is bad! very bad!

      Also, if you have semi-plausible deniability that you didn’t know, but you had an inkling and you didn’t want to find out… That’s not great either.

      Not knowing isn’t a full excuse if you actively try to not find out.
