Me: maybe we should have less vigilante mobs, it's not working that well.

You: you must love sexual predators and domestic abusers, typical Republican! Bad faith! You should be deplatformed!

Yeah, friend, you present a great case study why twitter mobs are so bad.



You’re doubling down on uncharitable bad faith interpretations.

I’m not suggesting you love or support these things, but I am concerned that you’ve taken a sarcastic defensive position instead of naming specific people to rebut my points. An omission of defeat perchance?

My point is that mob justice will continue until the government deigns the problem bad enough to enshrine these behaviors into law as crimes. Why are you having such a hard time understanding that this is a fixable problem directly resulting from negligent government?


If you should get anything out of this otherwise useless conversation, it's the difference between "omission" and "admission". Look it up, no need to thank me.

You mean the solution for mobs hounding people for wrongthink it for the government to make wrongthink a crime? Brilliant.
