@kayfaraday @SteelValleySpec I don't think the math works out most of the time. Tim Hunt clearly didn't do *any* harm.
@SteelValleySpec @kayfaraday Yeah. I think it's worth trying to identify the main factors though.

@SteelValleySpec@kayfaraday Mob anger is quickly becoming one of the main social issues of the '10s. -
@St_Rev@kayfaraday Part of it must be the ~0 cost of mob participation. -
@SteelValleySpec@kayfaraday Yeah, target has to be safe to go after. Powerful abusers, of whatever stripe, will fuck your shit up. -
@SteelValleySpec@kayfaraday Unless they're so diffuse they don't give a shit. OK to bitch about "cops" on the web, but not a particular cop -
@St_Rev@kayfaraday That depends. Look at Pepper Spray Cop from ...2011? -
@SteelValleySpec@kayfaraday ...to the cop's face. Pepper Spray Cop outrage was nationwide, from ppl he couldn't beat senseless. -
@St_Rev@kayfaraday Ah. Got it. This is also why the CopBlock folks are so keen on recording police interactions. -
@SteelValleySpec@kayfaraday Recordings let you pull in distant people who can feel the outrage as if local but be unafraid of retaliation. - 1 more reply
