I'd like to see a Venn diagram of ppl who think he's "here to harass and abuse trans kids" and ppl who held Liz Breunig personally responsible for overturning Roe.
*his comment threads are often an absolute cesspool of humanity's worst, I generally think he's on the level (but very thin-skinned)
The Venn diagram I'd like to see is "JS is a snowflake for reporting death threats" and "someone I dislike quote-tweeted me and that's literal violence"
ik it's corny to make this comparison but it's eerily identical to domestic abuser logic. Just a observation about psychology, not an accusation or anything.
But the mere existence of the posts is a violation of cosmic harmony and natural order, not to mention basic human decency (in this way of thinking), so stronger measures are called for:
Anyone who imagines blocking journalists they dislike is insufficient Resistance and that the only ethical thing is death threats, well enjoy when you wind up on the ‘bad’ side of the next issue.
Still fixated on what would happen if I sent threats every time I thought someone's work indirectly harmed Jews, women, Jewish women. I'd never get anything else done, I'd have to be a full-time internet harasser. Fortunately I'm not inclined to do this, so.

They really don't realize they were also a massive contributing factor to what made twitter so toxic.
I have a sinking feeling that the online leftwing purity police are going to ratchet up operations over the next few Trump years
Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.

-Pretty sure this counts as being an issue in and of itself.
