"I mean, just in the last month, do you believe “insane” as a word that’s just useful spice to conversation?" Blow yr pearl-clutching out yr
@gattsuru Sure. Pax is often thoughtless. But pearl-clutching about issues like that edges into victim-blaming territory.

@gattsuru Sure that cop shot your dog, fucked you with a nightstick and set your house on fire. But you were *rude* to him! -
@gattsuru "Insane" is a compact way of communicating "this person is acting outside the bounds of rational behavior toward me". -
@St_Rev Would you use term like that to describe mugger? Seems like weakest possible critique. -
@gattsuru What's irrational about mugging? -
@St_Rev Especially in a credit and debit society, the value of a stolen purse low compared to even low risk of months in jail or death. -
@gattsuru Unless risk is extremely low, or one assesses risk poorly (stupidity, not irrationality), or months in jail is a cultural asset. -
@St_Rev Are we using a broad or tight definition of rational? Because I can come up with values or stupidity to explain Shanely, too. -
@gattsuru I confess I've lost track of the question. - 1 more reply

@St_Rev In context of justifying bad things happened to him, sure. If someone asks if he's a jackass, doesn't seem same thing. -
@gattsuru Not sure what you mean. -
@St_Rev If you ask whether Pax is a brogrammer, or whether he was made up entirely, it's relevant to describe his behavior. -
@St_Rev Doing so does not justify nor excuse bad things done to him.

@St_Rev The bad conduct of police can sometimes be legally mitigating, but they don't undo actions of the party they acted on.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
