Okay, how do I put this?
1. Mike is a big fat jerk.
2. "everyone who ever published his words about any subject in any capacity should disavow him and ostracize him for his thoughtcrime, and everyone who doesn't is bad people" is stupid.
In conclusion, everybody sucks.
- zacharyvoase 14y agoI'm not a religious person, but I'd direct you to Proverbs 13:20. You are the company you keep. And I'm saying that if we want our community to be open, welcoming and civil, we need to foster those qualities and reject those who do not value them. Sometimes negative discrimination can be a useful tool.
- calibraxis 14y agoThis was a good blog post. If those corporations give their oversized megaphones to racists and misogynists, they should face retaliation. That's just plain activism. (Because their decisionmaking is private; they hire voices they want and exclude those they don't.) The guy already has free speech. He can post his masculine drivel on the internet without fearing police. So much for so-called "thoughtcrime". As for him not being able to get a cushy job writing words, we could discuss some advanced egalitarian society where we're all guaranteed a decent living. But not the world we live in, and in fact he's writing screeds against people trying to equalize gender relations.
