As opposed to what, only allowing hot takes from pseudo-anonymous boutique political accounts?
Politics is important, and personally I think everyone up and down the significance spectrum should be allowed to participate without the kind of shaming you’ve just partaken in.
- ivraatiems 3y agoThe entire industry of 'hot takes' is a waste of time and participating in it cheapens and does a disservice to pretty much all of the participants. But I'm not saying ban it. I'm saying I expect people to exercise judgment about whether it's worth their time. Virtue in this case would be having the ability to do this, and choosing not to, in favor of more substantive contributions to the world.
- mrguyorama 3y ago"Hot takes" politics actively makes things worse for EVERYONE. Real life is full of nuance and grey areas and none of that can be managed by something described in 160 characters.
