Comment on The Right Has a Bluesky Problem

The right has an abuse problem. They don’t want to understand consent.

They see power as a means to an end. Is it a surprise they support rape when rape is about power?

Abusers never see themselves at fault and some will follow their abused victims to the ends of the earth to be able to pile on more abuse that they see as deserved. They aren’t going to stop and self-reflect on this behavior. They will either become bored of they will double down and do whatever they can to continue harassing and abusing those who are different than themselves.

They will DARVO us until the very end. This is how it has always been with those who dole out abuse.

I really do worry about Trumps 1A speech. He may very well go after Blue Sky in a the ways he promised, under the premise of 1A. Now these same bullies have the President in their corner, possibly wielding the DOJ on it.

  Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

  They know they’re abusing the idea of free speech to control other’s speech and they don’t really care how we feel about it.
