Peak Sam Harris: Retweeting a factually incorrect and hyperbolic op-ed as evidence which reaffirms your totes objective world view.https://twitter.com/samharrisorg/status/971585098603573249 …
That error is indicative of bad sampling and consequent inference. Antifa is an immune reaction to a fascist pathogen. Remove the pathogen, the response attenuates naturally.

"The immune system is the problem!" is true only when there's no pathogen present or when the response is catastrophically excessive. There is a pathogen present. So, arguments like her's are essentially of the collateral damage kind. I don't buy them.

If she wrote that article on the National Review, I would have shrugged it off. But, the NYT gets to partially set the conversational agenda. And, using NYT real estate for that is out of proportion to threat posed (by antifa or the relatively small reactionary left).
