A generalised point I would like to make is attacking morally abhorrent people using their own metrics of 'good' may feel good but it does always end up buying into their hierarchy.
Pointing out Jacob Rees Mogg isn't "really" posh by posh standards is still judging someone for not being posh enough.
Pointing out Johnson is an 'immigrant,' 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'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
