@admittedlyhuman @themattsimpson The hypothetical was about large amounts of non-line-crossing bullying vs. small amounts of line-crossing.

@MemberOfSpecies @themattsimpson by "bullying" I of course meant "rights-violating behavior"

@MemberOfSpecies @themattsimpson classical liberalism allows for dirty play within your rights, yes, and that sucks, yes.

@admittedlyhuman @themattsimpson "Allows for" is changing the subject again; the issue isn't whether to allow it but whether to blame.

@MemberOfSpecies @themattsimpson you can blame someone for dirty play, but not for having their rights violated in response to dirty play.

@MemberOfSpecies @themattsimpson it's impolite to tell a cop to go fuck himself, but the cop still shouldn't shoot you.

@admittedlyhuman @themattsimpson "Cop shouldn't shoot you" isn't equivalent to "you shouldn't be told not to troll cops into shooting you"

@MemberOfSpecies @themattsimpson I'm ok w/ telling people not to troll cops into shooting them. but once a troll's been shot I'm on his side
