Alt right is neo nazis and white nationalists. Good to know this guy is alt right. Need to stay away from them! It’s so strange that banning of Neo nazis (as you describe him) is controversial!

The guy spends considerable time and effort criticizing and debating the Alt Right, neo nazis, and white nationalists.

It's controversial, because many people are being labeled thusly as a dishonest authoritarian intimidation tactic. Tim Pool, who's non-white, a lifelong liberal, and left leaning, is another alternative journalist who is similarly -- and dishonestly, inaccurately -- tarred.

It's controversial, because there are those of us in the liberal camp seeing such dishonest and authoritarian tactics used to silence dissent from within the left. That's not how democratic institutions and organizations who supposedly care about truth are supposed to act.

He criticizes the Alt-Right and White Nationalists in part by calling them n * * * ers, just so it's clear for readers.

Is that wrong? Would it be like a gay guy calling a homophobe a fag?
I am sure kevinh is a good person and won’t just randomly call someone a Neo nazi, white nationalist, alt right, etc.
Many good people get fooled by programs to push a narrative.
