She had a completely exceptional experience with fascists making an accomodation for her disability and made the mistake of assuming that experience was representative of the right. But I think the core of her point, that the left doesn't make sufficient accomodations for immunocompromised people, is correct. Some of our immunocompromised comrades on this site have talked about having the same problem, they couldn't get organized because local DSA or other orgs' chapters didn't want to ask people to mask up (or wouldn't enforce the mask policies).

She's making a hasty generalization to argue something that is itself very reasonable.

i don't think she's even doing that. note this part:

They show more empathy IRL in spaces they’re recruiting in [emphasis mine]

it seems clear to me from her words that she doesn't like that this was her experience, that "leftists" have not been as willing to try to accommodate her while recruiting. and that shows part of why they've been effective in radicalizing people. as long as you're not against them (and you're not visibly not white or not hetero), they're willing to try to get you to be with them.

hence they are able to effectively radicalize ppl.

I'm not American so maybe I'm mistaken here, but my impression is that if you go to stereotypical right wing social spaces like churches, country clubs, right wing bars, etc they're not going to start masking up because one immunocompromised person showed up and asked for that accomodation.

that is exactly correct, and i think that's why the context of this tweet is important. there's also undoubtedly both a racial and gender component to that reaction by them: namely that taylor lorenz is a young, normie-looking white woman. there's nothing that a nazi of this variety would find immediately confrontational about her. in other words, they probably assumed from her immutable characteristics that it was worth their time to be accommodating to her for the sake of recruitment and PR.

They are really good at doing that, it's like they can smell when someone is vulnerable and easy to influence and will play nice in this one instance in order to trick people into thinking they aren't absolute scumbags.
