Brumby & his ilk were the ones who propagated this rhetoric & no one said anything against it. Few who did (including me) were called Sanghis, Sanghi enablers, soft Sanghis. Even people who disagree with him & will say so in DMs did not have the integrity to say so in public+ https://twitter.com/Shudraism/status/1300052923309723648
Instead, they chose to be yes men & yes women, propagating a lie. Some would admit this rhetoric is wrong privately, but publicly they would not speak a word against it. Because we must stand with victims. Even when they're wrong. Some even said brumby(+) don't actually mean it,
This rhetoric dismissed a huge no. of anti-fascist BJP voters who could be on our side. This, with the knee jerk rhetoric of "Rwanda radio" & "gatekeepers of fascism" was picked up by followers of brumby(+) abandoning not just nuance but also fellow anti fascists.
