SJW purity progressives, or KKK white nationalists? I'm actually leaning more towards the former recently.

Nope. But they are an honest, open evil, just holdovers from another era. These progressives should know better. They corrupt that word.

Well, I'd argue that the KKK is worse for three reasons:

1) They operate under the name of a domestic terror organization that led to the "solid south" voter suppression tactics and Jim Crow laws. Even if they have changed completely, it would be monumentally stupid to keep the name of an organization like that.

2) White Nationalists are at least of the opinion that races should be kept separate and at worst think White people are superior to all others. I'll put money on no one here agreeing with that. SJWs may be hypocrites, but the basic ideals aren't detestable.

3) White Nationalists have been linked to more violent attacks than the SJWs recently.

While both can be bad I would say that white nationalists are worse than so called "SJWs". Then again i don't get un-ironic use of SJW because it's not actual thing.

I think "SJW purity progressives" do more damage, but that the KKK are more detestable. There are factions among the "SJW purity progressives" who are as bad as the KKK, but, as a whole, the SJWPP aren't necessarily bigoted, and the KKK are very bigoted. But the KKK is utterly ineffectual, and the SJWPP have some effect.

Been feeling really fed up with hard lefters lately, tbh. Poparena and others. I mean, they're just as bad from another direction.

Um lol. I would never weigh their openness against their racist outlooks really under any framework of assessment.

The KKK historically are not much at all divorced or reformed from what we understand as their toxic agenda. On the internet, on social media, where we all congregate about the dichotomy between the two groups the most, the KKK don't really have as much of a presence, so of course any toxicity from SJWs on the internet doing stuff is going to be inflated and brought to your attention a lot more. That in no way realistically compares to what the KKK have set out to do in their time.
