As you have taught me to say [and I love to say it], " Oh, pfffffft!" (I even threw in a few extra eff's, in honor of you.]<br>
<br>
Surely regulating mob formation is one of the thing that even Libertarian states legitimately do. I share your distaste for victim/trauma narratives, but I still believe there is a place for institututions and practices designed to head off mob behavior. <br>

Subject: Re: [FRIAM] the cancellation arc<br>
<br>
IDK. It came off as triggered snowflake to me ... holding onto an obsolete, nostalgic conception of what it means to be human. Of course the nail that sticks up must be hammered down. That's the way a hyper-connected world works. These people who expect others to take into considerations the in context details of whatever minutiae they're being canceled for are just wrong-headed, muddy thinkers. Reminds me of Ben Shapiro's phrase: The facts don't care about your feelings. All these tears from woe-is-me, formerly successful prima donnas who now have to live like us already ostracized normies don't move me much.<br>
<br>
Get with the program. You don't matter. You're not special. The silly little details of how unfairly the mob has treated you don't matter. Get over it. Life sucks. Then you die.<br>
