It's an attempt to distance themselves from accountability - the same as the "why do you care?" stuff - cast the heinous thing they just did as ancient history and the people complaining as some species of zealot arguing over long-since-settled controversies.
In logical terms, these are the same kinds of arguments you hear for why Andy Ngo got a cement milkshake - total abdication of personal responsibility from the people they support, but someone must be held accountable, so it must be something Andy did that made it happen.
The circular reasoning for why the left hates Andy Ngo makes my head hurt so much.
His Twitter feed is full of antagonistic people calling him "not a real journalist", a grifter, a fascist, a nazi, someone promoting hate and violence.
I've yet to see a modicum of evidence or reasoning behind any of this bile, except some "recording" that is often cited where the Proud Boys scolded him for not taking up their offer of protection at an event.
Which is somehow evidence that he's the worst person on earth and deserves all of the assaults and derision aimed at him. And the "smoking gun" is an audio clip of him not listening to antifa's opposition, which is somehow held up as proof that he's a plant?
anything they dont like is "old fashioned". They can say chud and incel for a million years and it will always be in fashion though....

Conspiracy theories do not have to make sense.
