That's precisely why you should be concerned...
If the moralizers on the right, the ones you seem to resent, realize the left is taking it too far - it must be bad.
- wpietri 6y agoThey only think the left is taking it too far because they no longer control the moral standards. They are not concerned about the magnitude of the pressure, which is still much higher on the right. They're only concerned that the direction counters theirs.
- wpietri 6y agoFollowing up, I think it's hilarious that people apparently concerned about threats to free expression due to social pressure have flagged and downvoted my post. I richly appreciate them proving my point: they're not opposed to it at all as long as they're the ones doing it.
