> Basically every sentence just reeks of disgust for someone having a different opinion.

I don't really get that impression. A lot of DHH's blogposts are simply delusion, and have no bearing on reality whatsoever. Posts like his Calling someone a "nazi" is a permission slip for violence is simply untrue no matter who you are or where you live. Discrediting that type of opinion doesn't require you to disagree at all, just to point out local laws to people.

There are likely places where the OP and DHH disagree on matters of pure opinion. But calling his essays "the worst possible takes" is pretty close to objectively true when he's calling for violent witch hunts against the people who disagree with him. He's the one that needs to apologize, there's nothing wrong with drawing the line at violent threats on behalf of your community.

I don't know man, when I lived in a rather big city, I saw lots of stickers everywhere inciting violence towards Nazis, the people I used to hang around with adopted that lingo over the years and just scrolling through Mastodon I see a lot of foamy mouths whenever some masked dude attacks someone they perceive to be a nazi. Another example is some "nobody " (as in not some influencer or something) whom I don't know personally but he probably didn't throw a stone into his own window after he was interviewed in some live stream about his critical views on migration at a public protest. You have a lot of crazy people on all sides and the more you devalue certain terminology until it applies to a broad spectrum of people, it becomes a way to dehumanize them in the eyes of a certain group and all it needs for violence to erupt is one loose canon in a mental health crisis.
