  • Equally common, unfortunately, is people who don’t state their point, they just lay out the pieces and expect you to put it together, but then if you say something bad about it suddenly that’s “not what I said”. Schrodinger’s point.

    I’ve developed a response to comments that do this saying-it-but-not-saying-it thing, and while I try to judge sincerity, there are false positives. An okay approach I’ve found is just to ask people to clarify: if they say something reasonable they’re genuine, and if they dodge the question they’re a troll or someone who doesn’t want to admit they believe something bad.

    The violence already doesn’t end. Why should I sit and take it? Obviously we need political stuff too, but violence is a useful tool to those ends.

    Do you really think all progress has to look huge? You’ve got to be trolling at this point, or you’re so loaded with emotions you’re just fighting people now.

    This is basically the tolerance paradox but for violence. If people are willing to use violence on me (denying healthcare, keeping us poor, stochastic terrorism) then I’m fine using it back, otherwise they get free reign.
