One former member wrote in a Medium article that the house has become known for its “call-out culture” perpetuated by “the lack of intersectionality.” “Several members have been criticized for being white/white passing, aligning themselves with whiteness, or allowing white violence in the house,” she wrote.

Sounds like hell on Earth even for those people it's ostensibly supposed to protect.

Purity spirals always happen to groups like that, the ideologues just become more and more zealous and eventually they eat their own.

I think it’s more common on the left, but maybe those are just more public.

I think purity spirals are essentially an element of progressive (or regressive groups, which is which depends greatly on your own point of view) groups. I think they are less likely to happen in any kind of conservative group since they are essentially the kind of resist change and try to maintain the status quo. (The American political parties don't well reflect conservative vs liberal ideologies and have elements of both)

As far as them happening on what is considered the right wing in the US they certainly happen all the time. Churches are well known for having them. New pastor comes in or a group of women become convinced that they've been doing things wrong until now and change is necessary and you get a game of hunt the heretic, you let your kid read Harry Potter you have no place in this church, you vote for the wrong guy out you go, you think your gay cousin shouldn't be sent to gay camp shame on you sin apologist.

Hell Trump is starting to get purity spiraled bt the maga types when he goes against their assumed narrative. Happened with vaccines, happened with gays. He is still their chosen one and hasn't pushed much but eventually they'll decide he isn't pious enough for them.

Any sort of activist group it's the inevitable end game, you get people to rally around a goal, say housing equality for black people, not unreasonable, once achieved your movement no longer has a driving force and will naturally start to splinter but the leadership and the zealots don't want to abandon the movement they've created so they'll try taking it further or in a new direction than the group was intended, the people remaining will either be tuned out because they have other issues demanding their time or resistant, the resistant are purged, those tuned out eventually become aware of the problem as the movement goes more and more sour and they too must be purged, the movement leadership eventually will be about all that is left along with the idiots too stupid to think for themselves and by then they'll be small weak and ineffectual to achieve any real change so their attentions will be focused wholly inward in petty interpersonal conflicts.

Watch it happen to many movements. Christian Women's Temperance League relevant today?
