What if there are people who need laws, rules, processes to keep something at bay because they are actually suffering from addiction to the very thing they need to regulate.
If they believe that thing is wrong and they see how hard it is to resist, they of all people may jump on a bandwagon.
- DangitBobby 3y agoYes, the "impose my beliefs on everyone" crowd.
- mpalmer 3y agoExcept people who involve themselves in dev communities aren't babies, and this parental impulse of protecting people from ideas YOU think are bad is completely toxic and self defeating. Being afraid of disagreement is a cancer in our discourse.
- jvanderbot 3y agoI agree. I was suggesting something even worse: they have internal disagreement and guilt and are regulating others based on that. Any discourse makes them feel worse about it, so they regulate that too.
