    I try not to speak ill of the dead as a matter of personal temperament, but I will say that maybe it's best to live a life that doesn't give tons and tons of people good reason to want to speak ill of you when you die.

        There's a similar quote often attributed to Churchill: “You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.” I could find no record of him saying it, but it's a good line. Everyone who matters, good & bad, has enemies & critics.

        Much of the conceit underlying progressivism's justifications for incivility is the idea that nobody ever has reason to be as angry at progressives as their own anger.

        Hey everybody Bobby thinks libertarian philanthropists who donate money to Republicans to try to achieve a freer market economy are like Stalin

        “As a matter of temperament, I don’t do this abhorrent thing, but it’s probably good to live a life devoted to appeasing those who do this abhorrent thing.” Solid stuff.

        If by “stood up for something” you mean “dismantled American democracy and the global environment to feed his greed,” then yeh...

        Not sure having an angry mob that speaks ill of everyone to the right of Stalin is a mob I’d worry about.

        Josh’s point isn’t that you should have none, but that you not have a surplus. If “tons & tons” of people can’t stand you, it’s okay to stop, check your azimuth, & see if maybe, just maybe, you might be giving them a good reason.

        Of course, they might be screaming “Down with Dan! Release Barabus!” in which case you may be onto something.
