|content=I think you have to decide that for yourself. I see it as an internal conflict document. The school has a faction that wants free speech and an army of caring administrators that wants to know if you feel harmed by that free speech.

|content=People ask why I’m not a simple “Free Speech!” absolutist.

It has a simple answer: because I never want to be the guy who has to stop defending free speech in letter or spirit.

I feel like almost everyone who takes the naive position eventually punks out in a tough situation.

And I would like to have a good time doing it. We STEM democrats need to stage an intervention in our political party. We’re entitled to answers that make actual sense. 🙏

|content=In short, his best work focused us on the threat of HIS wing of the Left which was to become “Wokeness”. He was a Paul Revere type warning us all “The Wokeness is coming.” But many conservatives tend to drop this distinction between moderate liberals and cryptic communists.

|content=If you look closely at O’Rourke’s evolution, he was an infantile 60s Marxist who woke up to the evils of communism &amp; collectivism. But his journey ignored those Liberals who hate communism as much as conservatives and he lumped both groups together under the “Sanctimonious Left.”

There's a flaw in our system of leadership; we can't get rid of an incompetent President in a bipolar political environment.

|content=This is a bigger conversation. There is a lot of behavior on Twitter that is intended to intimidate people that hides behind pro-social rationalizations.

Tell me if you’ve heard the following excuses for *truly* antisocial posting:

A) It’s perfectly legal.</br>
B) It’s just a joke!

|content=The 1st thing to say is that a lot of those excuses are being used to cover up intentionally interpersonally destructive behavior. That is, folks who WANT to hurt others are generally on the look out for how they can hurt people and NOT pay the social price of being a psychopath.

|content=[[Morals|MORAL I]]: If you enjoy the pain from hurting other named people, you are generally going to find a way to explain that what you are doing is for the good of the world. That is, *every* sadist can find an excuse between “This is normal.” and “I do it for society. Thank me later.”

|content=How can you tell the difference between a psychopath and say a true comedian, journalist, etc? Psychopaths do not attempt to minimize damage to families. Regular folks try to target institutions before named individuals. They regularly attempt to give others generosity of spirit.

|content=[[Morals|MORAL II]]: Excuses work because they muddy the water of abuse. The above excuses are appropriated from contexts where they make sense. But most internet critics are nothing of the kind. A criticism helps us course-correct. A stalker doesn’t want you to improve. They want anguish.

|content=[[Morals|MORAL III]]: A lot of what is visible on Twitter hides behavior offsite, and even offline. An apparent Twitter critic may be real-life stalker/sadist. There‘s no way to understand what is happening to public figures like @elonmusk by just looking at Twitter. This is just surface.

|content=[[Morals|MORAL IV]]: Many people on Twitter feel that the very rich on the site have so much money that they never need to worry about anything. This is close to being the dumbest idea ever. 

Remember: Any billionaire with a child they love is vulnerable to any psycho with an opportunity.

|content=Perhaps! That happens.

Or you may be making an assumption. If Elon is engaging in theater, am I objecting because I am totally taken in by the theater or am I objecting because the choice of theatrics itself seems incredibly dangerous, ill-considered and counter productive?
