@St_Rev from an outside perspective it's easy to see that the proximate stimulus doesn't warrant the response

@St_Rev@simplic10 btw, disclaimer: my knee tends to jerk in the direction of dismissing claims "the culture of [platform] is fucked up" > -
@schakalsynthetc@simplic10 No idea what you mean here -
@St_Rev@simplic10 oh, that wasn't really in ref to anything on topic, more just a standard disclaimer I felt like getting out of the way -
@St_Rev@simplic10 prompted by "the trial is starting to resemble twitter itself" -
@schakalsynthetc@simplic10 linked it bc of the toxic mixture of entitlement + victimhood + feels + aggression -
@St_Rev@simplic10 hm, I think I'd blame it on the old stupid evil myth that there are clear lines between "normal people" and "monsters" -
@St_Rev@simplic10 ordinary, morally normal men don't want a word like "rapist" anywhere near them bc they're understandably afraid that > -
@St_Rev@simplic10 < if that label does land on them, normal society will then have license to treat them like monsters. - 2 more replies

@St_Rev@simplic10 & the "reasonable fear" standard is... problematic. it's got a space of indeterminacy you could drive a truck through. -
@St_Rev@simplic10 what's reasonable from one person's limited perspective isn't necessarily reasonable from a wider perspective -
@St_Rev@simplic10 and the law isn't clear on which of these senses of the term is meant to be the operative one -
@schakalsynthetc@simplic10 And it turns *cultivating* the fear response into a weapon. -
@St_Rev@simplic10 against e.g. black men - as is already vividly illustrated in US history -
@St_Rev@simplic10 demands for protection travel toward the established power -
@St_Rev@simplic10 circuitously and by the scenic route dottedwith picturesque cognitive dissonances maybe, but the destination is the same -
@St_Rev@simplic10 the only hopefully-maybe-viable alternative I can see is mutual aid - cooperative self-defense
