I think I'll join you in that. Advocating, from safe anonymity, that victims of sexual assault have to relive their abuse publicly for the peanut gallery? Yeah, how about no.

Their use of "Direct Action" is real cute, too; we know what that means among the screaming twitterati here in 2016. Which of the women who've come forward, or the women in leadership roles within the Tor Project, are they going to dox and send death threats to? (The answer is all too frequently "all of them", because that's how these "ops" work.)



I think by "relive" you mean "recount." People seemed to be capable of recounting negative events before the rise of safe spaces and micro-aggression and whatever hog crap liberal infants have cooked up lately. Yeah, how about no.


> I think by "relive" you mean "recount."

No, I mean "undertake the emotionally harrowing and deleterious task of yet again putting themselves back into that place in their heads so that they can indulge the curiosity of a bunch of randos and Twitter eggs while they harass them and threaten to kill them."

PTSD is a thing, and being forced to dive headlong into it for the morbid curiosity of angry randos would be literally sick.

Y'know, there's definitely a conversation to be had about some of the ways that those "liberal infants" approach problems of inequality and injustice, but I think it's really funny that you use an isolated pseudonym that can't be traced back to you when complaining about other people having the structures to minimize damage inflicted upon them.


> No, I mean "undertake the emotionally harrowing and deleterious task of yet again... (actual content)...

Nah, you mean recounting negative events. And people have been recounting negative events throughout history until you people convinced yourselves that pretending things didn't happen is a mature way to solve anything. You seem to have also convinced yourself that this is merely about satisfying someone's idle curiosity, which is IMO a dumb interpretation of all this.

> ...there's definitely a conversation to be had about some of the ways that those "liberal infants" approach problems of inequality and injustice

* perceived problems of inequality and injustice. I agree, there is a conversation to be had about the unreasonable sensitivity and generally infantile manner in which social justice warriors / liberal arts majors behave.

> but I think it's really funny that you use an isolated pseudonym that can't be traced back to you

Really? I don't find it very funny. I'm not making legal accusations about anyone. Why is my identity relevant?
