I don't follow this kind of thing so forgive my ignorance. Why was "platforming" DHH bad? Honest question.

He posted a personal blog post a few days ago decrying that London is not white enough. He has a history of very right-leaning positions.

These kind of statements frustrate me. They are kind of manufactured consent statements. I likely don't agree with DHH positions as shared here, but when did we decide platforming very left-leaning positions is good, and platforming very right-leaning ones is bad? I wouldn't even mind if the position was that platforming either is good/bad. The framing here begs the question.

The left-leaning ones usually don't call for the eradication of certain peoples.

To be fair, neither do the right-leaning ones; the ones that do have fallen completely on their side. It's just that societal discourse has been purposefully skewed so that the mean lean is 60 degrees to the right, making it very easy for weak individuals to fall over.
