1/ Ok, I agree that the line between good and evil falls exactly between "advertising for Jordan Peterson" and "advertising for Stefan Molyneux". BUT it's insane hypocrisy for the left to criticize the right for...recruiting from the desperate and suffering.https://twitter.com/MrHappyDieHappy/status/967027082537721856 …

2/ The left is the "champion of the oppressed", and "unites the disempowered". IOW, targeting the vulnerable for recruitment is...their public brand. So when they complain about the alt-right doing the same, it smacks of "how dare our enemies copy our tactics!"

3/ I'm a libertarian, so I hate it when either side offers a simple, false message of hope through zero-sum identity politics. And I hate personality cults because they're opposite to sovereign individuals. BUT I also hate the lies of in-group/out-group tribal politics.

4/ In this case, "Action X is reprehensible, Group Y does X so the Ys are evil" (while ignoring that Action X, when stripped of valence, is a core public strategy of your in-group!). The real meaning is "I hate out-group Y and I'm scared they're copying our strategy X".
