> My viewpoint is: calling for ethnic cleansing through violence creates real harm (people have been murdered!), so private citizens and organizations should not support people who advocate for ethnic cleansing. Oh, I wholly agree on that part! It's absolutely not that. I think deplatforming that stuff is good. Good for society, and good because you get to watch them complain about being oppressed. > Also, blaming the two party system misunderstands US politics. Most Democratic politicians have not called for deplatforming of white supremacists — it's mostly a leftist idea. Precisely. My point was that the original article and much American political discourse has trouble distinguishing between the Democratic party and "leftists". And different groups of leftists - that often can't get along. It also kind of exists in the opposite direction, in that centrists aren't fascists. That's the distortion, and I think the two-party system makes the tribalism much worse than it needs to be.
