I mean, I’m a pretty tired so I likely won’t articulate things properly, but you don’t have to look at replies to Shaun for very long to understand that he very much understands how bad harassment can get. His point was definitely not that mean tweets are helping.

The entire post is a relative privation fallacy.

I come from an pretty privileged background and know multiple people who died because they couldn’t afford healthcare. It really is offensive when that happens. He also is not arguing that people should be harassed. Not sure how you fit that into that fallacy.

The fallacy is even mentioning the two things together like they're connected People farting in front of me while I'm talking to them is infinitesimally less bad than the genocide of the Uighurs in Xinjiang, it doesn't mean they should all do it

It's really on anyone playing this whataboutism card to tell me why the harassment has any practical connection to healthcare (will it get healthcare passed) or moral connection (is it a just punishment to those responsible for denying healthcare) Both cases are extremely weak
