@popelizbet jokeocracy was a free-speech performance piece by a guy with a family to support who got for-real blacklisted over 2 jokes.

@St_Rev because their speech may have private consequences. That's where I draw my line. YMMV. -
@popelizbet In the age of networked social media, creating pitchfork gangs is out of control. This has nothing to do with the law. -
@popelizbet I didn't mention rights at any point here. I'm speaking of corrosive effects on civil norms. -
@St_Rev he's framing it as a free speech issue, you talked about jokeocracy as "free speech performance art." Apologies. Long day. -
@popelizbet And again, I'm not talking about jokeocracy, talking about a private, politically powerful gang singling out one guy to shit on. -
@popelizbet Jokeocracy was a performance thing that set out to get banned. I have no objection to that. It deserved it. -
@popelizbet Pax, the actual human person with a family to feed, is a different matter. -
@St_Rev I'm a human person with a family who almost got fired for anti-rebel flag performance art participation. I was mad. I see his point.

@St_Rev unless we want all for-cause employment everywhere, which I don't think you favor, I don't see where anyone's right to FS is hurt...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@St_Rev@popelizbet He's right about Pax losing his job being justified - for the employers. -
@AvtonomnayaHBD
@St_Rev Which was the point I was trying to get at, badly. (I'm a lady. Nice to meet you.) -
@popelizbet@St_Rev Yeah, saying his firing was solely due to SJ stuff is untenable. He wasn't smart enough to keep his shit hidden. -
@AvtonomnayaHBD
@St_Rev You don't have to be whatever an essjaydubya is this week to object to racial slurs being tossed around, either. -
@popelizbet@St_Rev Yes, pretty much. Pax is no moral paragon. jokeocracy was entertaining but didn't do much for his character.
