You can’t compromise on rights and especially on humanity. If one group says “This group can be sacrificed to save the rest of us,” it’s not a purity test to say “absolutely not.”
"purity tests" "circular firing squad" "the left eat their own" are such bullshit phrases.
people disagree on politics! that's how it works.
deal with it instead of whining about marginalized people correctly pointing out that certain "compromises" only strengthens fascism

I literally see no one who isn't on the right depend political/ideological "purity"
can people just admit they call certain political standards "purity tests" when they disagree with them?

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

Then what's "the purity test" about?
Whose test?
Can you give an example?
All I ever see is people saying "not like this" for decent reasons.
Group survival dynamics are vastly different than on one's own. Calling the different perspectives "purity tests" seems hyperbolic to say the least.

PS: I’m probably just explaining something 99.9% of you understand but those few intellectually dishonest are making: Recognizing a big tent opposition doesn’t mean subsuming the causes you care about. This is not anti-fascism at the expense of X, Y, and Z. It’s your cause AND the big tent.
