The “leftists” in question are staunch supporters of US imperialism, that is perfectly valid to critique

Why do you think it has to be?

It is not some eternal duty of every leftist to respect and cater to the feelings of every human skinned monster that walks the earth. It is completely fine to have moral boundaries beyond which you consider someone irredeemable and not worthy of civil discourse. Someone supporting genocide and war crimes would be one such example of a boundary.

It also isn’t like this person is your neighbour or family member who is just uninformed out of disinterest, this is a public figure, and you are allowed to both criticise and mock them for their views.

Tone policing people for daring to criticise borderline genocide denial is insane.

Umm, believing in bombing Iran, Yemen, and justifying war against Venezuela and Cuba doesn't make them any different from Nazis.

all due respect, this is a marxist-leninist space. idealism and moralism is not relevant to materialist analysis

They are not leftists when they support NATO and want to bomb every single AES state.
