- vbuterin 13y agoIt's an ideological bible-thumping parade. Every ideology has people who do these from time to time; progressives, conservatives, authoritarians, libertarians, everyone. The point is not to convey information; the point is to say (1) this threat exists, and (2) transmit the author's feeling of moral indignation to people who are on the same "moral wavelength". If you're an authoritarian, seeing some post on reason.com rambling about the evils of coercion will just seem silly to you; that's the point, you're not the target.
