Deplatforming is one manifestation of By Any Means Necessary. And I am all for that for suitable targets like DJT and people that spread disinformation about public health. But ideological purity, say taking down people like Al Franken is not helpful. The willingness to play dirty is a different thing from sniping at colleagues over relatively minor differences. There is a fractal quality to the left where distance metrics automatically rescale with the lens. That’s fine, and progressive, provided one zooms out from time to time to take a look at the other monsters in the room.
