"But the other side does evil things too" doesn't make it okay.

Reasonable people on the left should call out the radicalism in our own ranks, cos that shit has driven more people to the right than the likes of Trump or Kirk ever could.

I call out left wing radicalism plenty. 

If you want to make this a both sides issue, then honestly call out both sides. Talk about how terrible it is that left wingers are celebrating, and how terrible it is when right wingers talk about genocide like that. 

If you're only willing to call out some of that behavior, and not even the worst examples of it, you're being dishonest.  

The wrongs of the alt right are covered here pretty extensively already, for pages and pages. I've made it clear on multiple occasions that I find Trumpism to be awful. If you want me to come out and condemn it again, then yes, I condemn it.

I'm not criticising the alt left to defend the alt right, I criticise it because in my view it contributed to the conditions that allowed the alt right to thrive.
