@popelizbet Pax was completely retarded in linking his Twitter account to his job, but 6 years ago Twitter wasn't a radioactive waste dump.
@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 I would argue as many are concentrated in whatever the hell gamergate was/is. They plan false reporting to silence essjaydubyas. -
@popelizbet Sure, but they have far less power. The ones on the left are...oh, y'know...running The New Republic and shit. -
@St_Rev a few with large power, a shit ton with less - it may not be equal, but it's not unidirectional, that's all. -
@popelizbet One side has hegemony, for the time being. -
@St_Rev I wish I could believe that, given how often leftists fail hard in similar ways. -
@popelizbet The hegemon isn't so much leftist as a kind of intersectional classism. Intersectionality for the 1%. -
@popelizbet Control of language to deflect questions of actual power into squabbles between identity groups. And so you get... -
@popelizbet ...extremely powerful brown men proudly kicking the shit out of poor white men for speaking the wrong words. - 1 more reply
