> No matter the situation, no good can come from hatred.
Appreciate this POV, probably ascribe to it. Suppose my "hate" for Drew is mostly re: his public persona. I "hate" Drew like I hate teams that play in the same division as my team, which is to say it that hate is lightly held.
So, yes, "hate" is probably too strong a term.
> Instead of having beef with a stranger online and comparing them to an alt-right figure (which is very much not okay)
I would disagree with this notion. In many ways, Drew is a demagogue and a populist and a (tech) conservative.
I am (tech) conservative in some/many ways too. But this disagreement isn't about our politics.
> I think having a good faith reply to a good faith personal opinion will at worst do nothing and maybe result in something at best
Agreed. But the problem I have with Drew don't extend to his good faith opinions. What bothers me is the incurious way in which he chooses to express himself, not what he believes.
Which I suppose it would be fine if he had a smaller audience, but he seems to want a broader relevance. I really do believe that 100 more and then 100 more people who express themselves in a similar way would be bad for any community.
