As a millennial I feel this way about accountability in general. The older folks I've talked to at protests express a real hope for some kind of consequences for all this that my peers and I don't. They saw Nixon get removed from office. To me it just sounds like a legend.

Something something visual metaphor

There *are* rallies every weekend. They can't all be the biggest one, in both the tautological and the logistical sense.

Black coat, brown vest, blue pants, hat aslant (yeah)

The boy's a time bomb

What killed this idea for me was realizing how many people today, after living their whole lives in liberal democracies, would 100% own slaves if they could. What's stopping them isn't norms, it's merely that the enabling infrastructure has been torn down.

Speculation: also that info in general is more likely to come from institutions designed to diffuse responsibility away from individuals. "Intent" isn't meaningful when the other side is an inscrutable amalgamate instead of a person.

What was the clear evidence to the contrary? Genuinely asking.

And the take isn't just that cancel culture was ever an effective tool, but that it *preceded* the general concept of people being mean to each other online. Wild.

/9 ....I'm more inclined to say that giving the state the power to suppress speech leads to worse results and worse injustices, and less inclined to say that free debate inherently leads to better results and the truth. I'm negative-consequence rather than positive-consequence focused.

No one will remember whatever trite sermons our society's leaders decided to give today. But we'll remember who they decided was worth speaking out about. Who was given the privilege of a political death.

Each call to condemn political violence feels like just another case of the left rushing to accept whatever framing gives maximal leverage to the right. It's the "proper" message - but it's so vapid that the context devours the text.

Striking at someone who happens to be ideologically aligned with those same chuds? You bet that's the politicalest violence ever to be political, which apparently makes it very important that we all take time today to remind each other that murder is bad.

What is war if not the largest-scale deployment of political violence a society is capable of? But it didn't register as such when just days ago the chuds in Washington were salivating for more of it.

But more than that, it's a term that I only see used for rhetoric. The "political" qualifier is itself strictly political. A lot of violence has a political component, but we only call it out to condemn it, not to analyze or find meaning.

I know the song mixup is the bigger story here but

I am a human and know what being one is like.
