Per Dope1:
Third: The left has made a cottage industry of doxxing people. Yet none of these guys ever are. Wonder why.
Poor Dope1, always the victim. Must be a hard life always being the victim.
So I asked Claude AI whether doxxing victims came from the left or right of the political spectrum.
This was the Claude AI response:
What the research does show:
•Doxxing is used as a tactic by both left and right groups, often against each other. Left-leaning activists (e.g., antifa) have doxxed people sympathetic to white supremacist or fascist ideas , while right-wing users have discussed doxxing journalists, activist leaders, and university faculty perceived as liberal .
•Police have been doxxed from both directions too — by grassroots anti-authoritarian groups on the left and by libertarian right-wing individuals during protests like Canada’s 2022 Freedom Convoy .
•One large quantitative study of nearly 500 doxxing cases found the practice is mostly not political at all: the average victim was 21, 80% were male, and only about 1.1% of cases had a clearly political motivation  — most doxxing is driven by personal disputes, harassment, or online feuds unrelated to ideology.
•Recent high-profile cases cut both ways: after Charlie Kirk’s death in 2025, critics and faculty who had posted about him were doxxed on a site listing their names and employers , while separately, thousands of critics of Israel, many students, were listed on a different doxxing site  in 2024.
Bottom line: there’s no solid, comprehensive dataset showing one political side is disproportionately victimized — doxxing tends to be issue- and moment-specific, with each side targeting the other during flashpoints, and most doxxing overall isn’t politically motivated at all.
That was easy. Now you no longer need to wonder why.
