@psygnisfive@slatestarcodex I'll say that I found the "are you comparing to Ingsoc!!' leap on a common meme frustratingly uncharitable.0 retweets 0 favorites -

@slatestarcodex@rechelon It just feels wrong to demand empathy from the structurally oppressed. But empathy wouldn't be a bad thing at all.0 retweets 1 favorite -
