> You state this as if it's fact, instead of just your opinion.

It is fact. You cannot have read anything about Quillette without also knowing that it's associated with the alt-right.

I've never understood why alt-right people feel the need to dogwhistle even to people who are familiar with that strategy. If you're going to have these opinions, you can at least acknowledge and stand by them. The only time you're wasting here is yours.

> People who consider themselves public figures from "the intellectual dark web" have time and again made clear that they have virtually nothing in common with the alt-right (Sam Harris on countless occasions, for example).

> Can you list some examples please? This hasn't been my experience as a casual reader of Quillette.

Sam Harris believes in scientific racism, so you can start there.

Now you’ve labeled someone who simply disagreed with you with the “alt-right” epithet. You are demonizing anyone who disagrees with —or asks you to clarify the provenance of— your specific conclusions. You could stop, but first you’ll need to stop and ask yourself how you’ve come to know what you think you know.

(Reworded some unnecessarily churlish language)

Please don't do ideological flamewar on HN. It's not what this site is for. Also, personal attacks are definitely not ok—we ban accounts for that—so would you please review the site guidelines and use HN as intended?
