I always try to remember not to punch down. I got redpilled when I was really young (like middle school aged) and went through a period of being extremely cruel to people I disagreed with online. Maybe I've just become more sensitive since then, but in retrospect I regret acting that way. There's more to every story.
When I see accounts like Libs of TikTok I see a lot of internally broken people being harassed by someone who's basically a celebrity with tons of reach. We never see the full story. That "woke tranny" was probably harmed by someone they trusted as a child. The college girl crying about wages is probably miserable being forced into a masculine role she wasn't cut out for. The person getting vaxxed in 2023 might have health problems that cause them to live in unreasonable fear. It's true that personal responsibility is important, but at the end of the day we're all sinners. I'm sure there's something we did in the past that keeps us all up at night. I just hate seeing the spiteful, bullying attitude a lot of right-wing influencers have. At some point it just becomes a minstrel show of "look how healthy and normal I am" making people feel better about themselves at the expense of mentally ill zoomers. I pray for those people to have health and peace one day. I don't feel better about myself when I see messed up people on TikTok.
Cruel to be Kind
You’ve limited the scope of this discussion to people who use social media/ the internet, so by definition all of those so-called victims of harassment are people trying to influence other people. If they weren’t, they would keep their deviance/ feminism/ vaxx gullibility to themselves and not advertise those things online. They aren’t victims, they’re volunteers. Being “cruel” to them by being direct and honest about their foolishness sometimes helps them reform themselves, but more importantly it serves as edification and as a deterrent for the other people the freaks are trying to influence.
I don’t say anything to the leftists and other freaks unless they wander onto my turf, such as here, mostly because I don’t care enough about them, but I’m not going to try to pooh-pooh the right-wingers who have the stomach for correcting the freaks.
btw “minstrel show” was a curious choice of words.
