On some level, many seem to say "but I have opinions that people don't like sometimes. What if my opinions are next?"
This completely abstracts away all of the horrible power and historical context that's, well, the point
Abstraction is what enables this slippery slope fallacy. Because it makes everything feel the same
Sure, reasonable humans can disagree with a lot of things. But there are some things that are not reasonable to disagree about.
@steveklabnik That is a comforting thought if one trusts one standing with whomever partitions the lists, and a terrifying one otherwise.
@steveklabnik Again: comforting if one trusts/identifies w/ sorters. "Who has sorting privileges?" a potentially bracing question otherwise.
@steveklabnik "Oh everyone sorts" is a defensible answer to that. It is, however, manifestly untrue that everyone sorts for tech conferences
