@St_Rev I don't understand what blacklist, then. From his industry?
@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 I don't like dogpiles; I used to, I grew up. But always privileging the first speaker is not the solution, I don't think. -
@popelizbet In RL dogpiles tend to burn out. People get bored, move on. Networks supercharge them, & nobody knows how to stop it. -
@popelizbet But lots of really bad actors know how to keep them rolling, & profit thereby, and many of them are concentrated in SJ & media. -
@popelizbet Pax isn't particularly sympathetic, for some good reasons & for some bad ones. But he was a test case for something far worse. -
@St_Rev that's possible. it is edge cases that test us as humans in groups, skokie nazis et al. -
@popelizbet As far as Nazis go, I'm with Woody Allen--defend their right to march, then meet them with baseball bats. -
@popelizbet On that scale, Pax gets a "dude, not cool". I like the guy and what's happened to him is despicable. -
@St_Rev we'll have to disagree on what warrants more than "dude, uncool." It does pose a question-just not the one I keep seeing him ask.

@St_Rev perhaps this is my "talk shit get hit" coming to the fore, and nothing more, which is my failing.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@St_Rev but dogpiling demonstrably goes both ways, and the ethics of it are a real question.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
