The fundraiser Breunig held would've been tacky if he didn't have a kid on the way, who is morally blameless for his behaviour.

And, I would argue, so is his wife. The fundraiser itself was opt-in. I really didn't care about it. Getting in a tizzy over it is toxic.

Trying to prise apart the details of Breunig's full time job and finances? That's plain immoral and, frankly, disgusting and GG-ish itself.

I don't doubt, however, that a similarly situated "liberal" target would've been dogpiled as a "bourgeois panhandler" by this crowd.

And that's really the problem. The "bad targets" mentality is agnostic to the morality of the tactics themselves. It shouldn't be this way.

For this crowd the term "neoliberal" functions in much the same fashion as "SJW" does for the channers and alt-right.

The word "neoliberal" is a useful term that's always precariously sat on the edge of being rendered meaningless through overuse.

And to further their twitter crusades, these folks may have just pushed it over the edge.
