A generalised point I would like to make is attacking morally abhorrent people using their own metrics of & #39;good& #39; may feel good but it does always end up buying into their hierarchy.

Pointing out Jacob Rees Mogg isn& #39;t "really" posh by posh standards is still judging someone for not being posh enough.
Pointing out Johnson is an & #39;immigrant,& #39; that his ministers have immigrant wives, is still judging by immigrant status.

There is a value in pointing out hypocrisy, but people often do this in a "[right wing person] is an immigrant, they should have bad treatment like the Tory govt gives to other immigrants" way. That& #39;s still wishing harm on immigrants.

This thread is related to this concept, except I saw a different iteration of that impulse come out so I wrote a different thread. https://twitter.com/angharad_esq/status/1302172370258538496?s=19">https://twitter.com/angharad_...
