I agree with the main concern DHH correctly points out here, that some spaces (mostly inhabited by leftists) are currently calling a lot of people nazis who clearly are not nazis. And they're quite obviously gaslighting the idea that hurting these people is ok.

What people like DHH et al seem to be completely blind about is that the right has been doing this for decades, if not centuries. That is not justification for the left to do the same thing, but at least the other side should acknowledge that and try to move on instead of just perpetuating the cycle.



> right has been doing this for decades

Ironically whatabouttism is literally a Soviet/Russian propaganda technique...


Didn't the person agree with DHH in the first paragraph ?
