However, we keep losing ground to fascists or the one's who want to hijack our narrative for petty distractions with huge consequences. If this continues, we'll be left with no stage/audience very soon. The solution to this problem is pretty simple to implement once comprehended.
To understand how agendas are countered on SM, we need to understand the gnawing behaviour in rodents. Rodents' teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, and gnawing maintains their dental health.
Rodents will gnaw down anything that they come across for that reason.

In the event of a rodent infestation for which extermination is not a solution, a smart person would throw away some useless bones to the rodents periodically to protect his valuables from being gnawed down, which usually is very a cheap trade-off offering huge savings.
Similarly, in order to save their ideology from being exposed & ripped apart, fascism enablers throw at us a bone in the form of our own internal contentions. We lap onto it and gnaw it down viciously, much to the amusement and releif of the fascists. we end up harming ourselves
These contentions are basically the conflicting opinions arising out of our affiliations and allegiances to different groups in the Anti-fascim camp.
These groups can be Religious, political, sectarian, caste, sexual orientation, religious schools of thought, race, gender, etc.

We need to have mechanisms in place to save ourselves from distractions.
For this we must understand what the term "COMMON DENOMINATOR' (CD) means. A Common denominator (CD) is a feature shared by all members of a group.
Humanity is the CD for human beings.

Religion is a CD for the beleivers in existence of God.
Anti Fascism is a CD for all the opponents of fascism.
Islam is a common denominator for muslims.
the group keeps diverging into sub groups and every group/sub group is a CD on it's own for the people belonging to it.

If one understands the CD formula & stops arguing with people on opinions endorsed by another group, it helps in preventing internal flare ups thus we can focus on our main goal.
Let's shun the differences & unite for a bigger cause.
Do not get distracted by petty issues, focus!

Islam is a common denominator for muslims. So it'll be pointless talking about permissibility of homosexuality in Islam to a non muslim pro LGBTQ person, unless we want an altercation/face-off.
Some overzealous Pro LGBT argued about its permissibility in Islam to Muslims

And to even it out, some muslim handles started issuing fatwas to non muslim LGBT supporters. It was riot. Nothing conclusive ever came out if it. Only bruised egos.
For pro LGBT and Muslims, Legality of LGBT could be discussed from a statutory perspective, not Islamically.

State laws are a common denominator between both Muslims and non muslims. Not Islam and Hence should be kept out of discussion.
Muslims talking to eachother about LGBT with an Islamic perspective is another thing. Islam is a common denominator between them.
