And that's really bad! Don't emulate it! "We're gonna hurt some people ourselves to get even" is the devil speaking.

  > Don't emulate it! Where in this thread do I justify or emulate? Please quote something from any of my posts that would give you the impression that I approve of "cancel culture". However, if people are genuinely concerned about chilling speech, then why are they spending so much effort to call out SJW in a tiny handful of big cities instead of raising hell about the overt and often legal discrimination that happens in tens of thousands of rural communities? It's hard for me to take the concern about cancel culture seriously when the concern is exclusively focused on one side of the political/cultural divide even though the phenomenon happens far more on the other side of that divide. I have zero confidence that such concerns are genuine.

    If you're going to hold yourself up as the more enlightened group, it creates a bit of an obligation to act that way. In my book at least.
