Seeing criticism to the co-authored piece w @DFisman claiming the anti-lockdown/mask mvmt isn't hateful.
Hate actors & the anti-lockdown movement are inextricably linked. They have been from the start.

Those who denounce hate but remain involved have made a choice at this point.
They are also at risk of being drawn into hateful ideologies. We worry for them. /4

This is a choice, and no amount of "not all conspiracy theorists" will change that. /5 antihate.ca/covid_conspira…
It's been this way since the very beginning. Refusing to acknowledge it is willful and intentional. /6 antihate.ca/far_right_publ…
