gosh this is such a bummer to read yeah any policy implemented at scale, no matter how well designed, is going to have some bad results some subset of such policies is worth implementing anyway because the net benefits in some sense outweigh the net costshttps://twitter.com/alexandraerin/status/1004400861865488384 …

when I read about social disasters--Totalitarianism in Russia or China, say--and hear that children reported their parents, or friends condemned each other for crowds, it feels like a kind of blasphemy; a violation of something sacred and more especially evil than simple murder

I guess what I'm trying to say is, contra OP, please be kind to your friends and neighbors and family and loved ones, even and especially the ones who are Wrong and Bad sans that I'm not sure there's anything left for Policy to save /finhttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/879352273976950786 …

For the people who weren't driven out for being gay, for the people who weren't having their life torn apart by La Migra, for the people who had enough wealth to not get constantly arrested... We summoned this demon a century ago, it's just finally arrived at YOUR home.

I'd be happy to discuss personal aspects of this with you by DM, Dolores and please also keep in mind I probably agree with you at the object level if that matters, I am slightly concerned that you might be pattern matching me to the outgroup my plea in this thread . . .

. . . as I think I replied to you elsewhere, is just for people to Tolerate the wrong and even publicly bad in one's private life hoping that they Become Good but recognizing that there is a value in loved ones beyond their _bien pensance_
-
"Loved ones." I get the strong impression of a personal experience or fear, which is heavily weighting the reading here.
-
I guess I'm mostly recoiling in horror at the thought of what it would be like to say for any reason to my mother and father: I am sorry, you are Wrong and so I am no longer your son, good day
-
These are thoughts people who still have mother and fathers are privileged to have, cherish that horror, I suppose.
