I think it's sad that to even engage in rational discussion about whether and to what extent people were complicit in this, you felt compelled to use an anonymous account. I don't blame you, either, mob justice is horrible.
- throwaway2048 7y agoAlmost as horrible as pedophilia being protected and normalized.
- jknoepfler 7y agoFar worse, actually. Mob justice is the force behind almost every human on human mass slaughter in history. It's a far cry short of say diarrhea or malnutrition in terms of actually horrible things that kill millions of people every year, but as human-caused catastrophes go mob justice is many orders of magnitude worse that "pedophilia being protected and normalized." Sure, I'll die on that hill. "Oh but think of the children." It's very important to protect rational deliberation, dispassionate pursuit of justice, and truth-seeking behavior in general. Do you disagree?
