   You lose the right to call yourself inclusive if you spend much of your time going on about how terrible your outgroup is.  If you want to be truly inclusive, well, that includes people you don't like, and people you find distasteful.

      This is the amusing dichotomy with the left, really.  Because the extreme right will also generally be disdainful of their outgroups or detractors, but they will consider them people that are in need of education.  They think they're stupid, or at least uneducated, but they will try to educate them.  The extreme left considers their detractors immoral, and inhuman, and because they dehumanise their immoral detractors, they feel no obligation to treat them with any compassion or kindness at all.  This is why you have a group going on about inclusivity that will so vehemently abuse its detractors even when they are extremely unprivileged.

         I don't apply a label to myself because I have a series of beliefs that fall in all manner of places on the political spectrum, but because of the above difference, I find it much easier to tolerate the right than I do the left.  Especially when people on the religious left have directly and literally abused me in the past.
