please no

All of those things you mentioned were right wing power grabs.

Taking the high road was letting that shit become mainstream.

Adblocking has not killed journalism. You’re either an idiot or a propagandist.

I remember how this worked in Sweden where I live

Yeah, things don’t work that way everywhere.

We tried being nice in America. It got us here.

You just go back to enjoying your ivory tower. We have actual problems here and your high road is not the solution.

Here’s the thing.

The last 10 years have proven that organized online hostility is VERY EFFECTIVE at dictating public opinion.

That’s how we got the new fascist movements. Trump and the like. Because right wing hostility and bigotry went not only unchecked institutionally but unchallenged socially.

No solution has emerged for that from an institutional level.

So yeah, my socialist ass is fighting back. I’ll be damned if I’m going to spend the rest of my life under these fucking wastes of flesh and their bullshit antiquated opinions. I’m done taking it and I’m done tolerating it. Fuck every last republican and homophobe and transphobe and complicit liberal. All of them. And wouldn’t you know it, little by little they’re backing down when we stand up to them like the cowards they are.

Yes, I am deliberately far more hostile online, because it WORKS. And clearly nobody with institutional control cares enough to try anything else.

Parents need to do their fucking jobs and keep their shithead kids out of my business.

Because it doesn’t fit in my pocket.

The nation of origin is completely meaningless when it comes to software distributed over the internet.

Well I say Mark Zuckerberg is over.

I think an alarming number of Gen Z internet folks find it funny to skew the results of anonymous surveys.

You, specifically, possibly. I don’t know you and I certainly don’t care who “your people” are. But if you rely on a sky fairy to tell you it’s bad to bludgeon children to death rather than having basic compassion to tell you, signs aren’t good for you. All you’d need is for a charismatic sociopath to tell you the magic cloud genie changed its mind and then it’s all of our brains bashed in. History has proven that.

And this is why religions are so dangerous and terrifying right here.

If you can’t answer that question on your own, you are frightening.

Sin is defined is an act in defiance of god. There is no god to defy.

Your question presumes that harm can only come from sin. That presumption is nonsensical in the absence of a god.

Sin is a myth. There is no god to judge you.

Consider the harm your actions and beliefs cause. The rest is bullshit.

I think it’s a bullshit rule, myself.

But it is a clearly-stated rule.

The real question is how many accounts you want to throw at it, because if you ask me, in for a penny in for a pound.

And it is morally correct to harass elon.
