As I've said numerous times elsewhere in this discussion, I find him to be an offensive and unlikable person. In this immediate thread of conversation, I was responding to the suggestion that a line should be drawn at the advocacy of genocide by pointing out that he doesn't seem to cross that line, at least as far as I've seen.
I fear people are getting the wrong idea by not noticing the full context of my above comments. I hope we've now reached a mutual understanding.

Truthfully, I believe people might take issue with the fact that the distinction you're trying to make is near-meaningless.
He's 90% of the way there. He just isn't using his highly-monetized platform to advocate for genocide. However, he's happy to rub shoulders with, and repeat the talking points of, people who do.

It wasn't my suggestion that advocating for genocide is where to draw the line. I only responded to that suggestion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18763948

The reason I'm posting this is because you mentioned that Sargon was arguing with, and insulting, white supremacists. Which, to those who are unfamiliar with Sargon, is not a claim that captures the nuance of the situation. As I said, this spat was infighting between people who are largely in agreement with the content of each other's bigotry.
