Ideological purity / purity tests is one of the really culty ones - a Canadian green party member or some such was just booted from his founding party for saying transphobic things like JK Rowling shouldn't be getting death threats, but rather her questions should be addressed civilly.

I think it’s a huge red flag that they attempt to cancel and silence JK Rowling rather than actually address what she said. And i also think it’s incredibly stupid of them to alienate someone who was actually showing a lot of support despite her other opinions.

Apparently hating allies is a very long-standing tradition of transactivism
