someone who has a different opinion than you "annoying, obvious, contributes nothing"

• heretohelp 14y ago
  It's annoying, obvious, and contributes nothing because: 1. Any state actions that promotes the current legal hegemony is inevitable, making a comment noting the fatalism inherent in taking an action (principled or not) that could trigger blowback from this legal hegemony is by definition obvious. 2. It's annoying because it doesn't say anything that isn't already evident from a passing understanding of the power dynamics of western society, especially as it relates to the courts. You don't need to say something emphasizing the power of the judicial system to ruin your life...we know that already. 3. And it contributes nothing because such comments rarely go beyond capitalizing on the opportunity to be snarky, doing nothing to describe the ethics of the situation or how the system could be improved.

    I guess I read his comment differently. "regardless of whether she's right or wrong" about the crimes/identities of the attacker. Rather than regardless of whether she's in the right/wrong for posting their names.
