As hilariously inane as intersectionalists tend to be, it's tough to top TERFs for sheer unpleasantness. Plus intersectionalism is at least a solid idea on paper that just happens to only be promoted by lunatics who take it to insane conclusions, while TERF ideology is fundamentally awful.

While my beliefs are closer to intersectionalism, most intersectionalists just practice Oppression Olympics to rip each other apart, and are really driven by a need to employ hate speech for the sake of virtue signaling. It is completely vile. The TERFs, while I disagree with them the same way I would disagree with same-sex marriage opponents, at least are honest about their bigotry. Which makes them relatively ineffectual. The bigotry of the intersectionalists is far more insidious because it is hidden beneath layers of pseudo-academic gobbleygook. It goes on for years and years without ever being challenged. They also use authoritarian tactics and have succeeded in turning thousands if not millions of young people into anti-SJW backlash and Alt Right.

Millions? LOL.

Most people just laugh at intersectionalists anyway and hardly anyone takes them seriously. Becoming a Nazi because you don't like some silly sh!t someone wrote on the internet is pretty ridiculous.

Wait, intersectionalism is considered bad by people who aren't right-wingers? I thought that just meant acknowledging that different forms of discrimination can overlap with each other.

That's what it means in theory but in practice it means complaining about white people wearing hoop earrings or dreadlocks or eating Chinese food.

Even in it's literal form, intersectionalism kind of falls flat in so many respects for me. For example, under it you'd have to either accept that Milo Yiannopoulos is not a bigot, or that he is but he's truly just another victim of the patriarchy deep down. It doesn't make any sense.
