When it comes to abuse & harassment, "It's alright when we do it" has long been the mantra of left-wing rage bloggers & "woke" Twitter.

Anger, which may or may not be justified, isn't the same as abuse - and abuse is orders of magnitude more difficult to justify.

Doesn't follow because your anger is justified that your abuse is righteous. You might just get off on abusing people. Perhaps you enjoy it.

Seems to me that (verbally) "punch up ok, punch down no-no" (and actual threats never ok) is a good, simple, fair and workable rule.

So you'd be happy with somebody being bullied to the point they're contemplating suicide so long as that rule was followed...? Okaaaay.

How do you bully someone more powerful? The point of "punching up" is that the target has abundant resources to "punch" back.

Why are you so keen to defend the appalling behavior of leftists? This isn't the first time. Is it just that the end justifies the means?

I don't know what you mean. I was formulating a general principle. What does left or right have to do with it?

Well, (a) you were responding to a tweet about the left; and (b) it is overwhelmingly the left that uses the language of punching up/down.
