The thing is: At least in many German circles there is this weird focus on intersectionality, you CAN NOT be left if you are advocating for a stricter immigration / asylum regulation - you will be labeled a Nazi / Fascist or something along the lines.

Yeah, leftist idealism is great when you’re dealing with people who share those common-good views, but the harsh reality is that far too much of the world is “dog-eat-dog” (a.k.a. “every man for himself”) to be compatible with such ideals. You’ve got to ensure those you’re allowing into the collective mindset are actually part of that mindset, or they will destroy it from within like a cancer. It’s called “nuance,” and far too few take the time to consider it, preferring instead to not think and just go with the “all or nothing” extremes. Nuance is something that comes with maturity and a world that forces you to learn it or get screwed. You haven’t really changed your beliefs, but rather you’ve just learned there are practical limitations to everything.

This is often seen as problematic because it judges human beings based on the value they bring to the state. If you are against nationalism, you should also disagree with this, as it puts the interests of the state together with the interest of the population. Human beings shouldn’t be measured by the work they can bring but by the fact that they are humans too. In fact the workers have more in common with immigrants than with politicians or anyone in power

So? Aren’t they just wrong? Why reject the whole philosophy because some people are wrong about it?
