    I’m not sure we can understand the information environment folks are livin in enough to be confident making fun of how they see things.

    It’d be like going to North Korea and making fun of locals for being pro Kim Jong Un. It’s just a bit in poor taste.

    Edit: grammar

      I don’t think I can agree with that logic when literally one Internet search could course correct these people on most of the issues they are choosing to be on the wrong side of. They don’t want to know what the truth is because it doesn’t fit their emotional narrative.

      I find that to be a very weak argument.

      Say I make fun of a racist. If they’re just a poor propagandized individual who finally realizes their act, should I not shame them? Should I not ensure that they realize the depth of their behavior, the depth of their shame?

      Shrugs I like to keep records. I don’t like letting people off the hook after they shit the bed and force everyone else to clean it up while they figure out they don’t like how it smells. I think that’s weak behavior and a big part of the reason we’re here today.

      Edit: I’m ok with letting children off the hook. Kids are fucking dumb.
