    Before you think that someone is good remember that they did a bad thing.

    Person in question: "I did?"

    Yeah but you had no way of knowing!


    Literally how are you going to blame somebody for platforming someone shitty and then in the next breath acknowledge that they literally would have had no idea...

      It's especially funny when one of the charges leveled against this supposedly shitty person is that they love "cock rock." Like headbanging to Motley Crue is an unforgivable sin on par with antisemitism.

    social media has gotta be the most socially corrosive force of this century. turned everyone into clout-chasing demons in every sphere, including labor organizing apparently

      I try to convince people of it's inherent evil regularly nowadays. Not even including the ethnic cleansings that FB has helped propagate.

      I'm waiting for the expose in 20 years where we find out social media was cooked up by the boys at DARPA.

    Unrelated, but my world has been in a shambles ever since I found out that cock rock is actually (first wave) buttrock. If the cock and the butt are one and the same, then what are the broader implications for society? Am I using my bidet wrong?

    if I was a twitter account with 60 followers I would simply not call out a hugely popular pro-labor twitter cat over some sort of vague music-based "problematic" bullshit and then I wouldn't have to lock my account.

    and it's not even that this person is an anti-Semite, misogynist, or terrorizer of incest survivors, it's that they... listen to music made by people who are? or something?

    supports antisemites

    let me guess, the person thinks Palestinians have human rights

    ok I did more looking and this person (TW talk of suicide) says it's a new account from someone who used to call people out for made up bullshit before they got banned, and they hate Palestinians so their definition of antisemitism is probably just anti Zionist 🙄

      apparently they have a gofundme they're trying to get attention to? so this is literally shitstirring for money.

    Really fucking weird switch from antisemite - a nebulous category that includes Hitler alongside people who criticise the IDF for dropping white phosphorous on kids - through to the very specific 'terrorizes incest survivors.'

      Hey now those kids were armed with rocks and pebbles. What was the pilot supposed to do? Not drop banned chemical gas?

    How tf are you going to put "it was really disappointing" and "I doubt you knew any of this about them" in the same sentence?

    They also breathed air that was in, or adjacent to, the same atmosphere as the Romans when they conquered Europe and when the Titanic sank.

    The monster.

        I don’t think I’ll have a good answer for when I’m told to check my privilege for referencing mt rushmore so I will ultimately need to do a land acknowledgment by the end
