Perhaps a better question is why aren’t more people shunned. There are some good answers already, but I’ll throw in another reason that seems to come up sometimes.
The US is highly polarized on a lot of issues. If one can frame their shunning as one of those wedge issues, they can probably get enough people to rally around them that they escape accountability.
“I’m being deplatformed because of racism against white people!”
“We have freedom of speech in this country, so if you take everything in the Constitution absolutely literally like I do, it’s obvious I should be able to spew whatever bullshit I want. You don’t hate the Constitution and the founding fathers, do you?”

I don’t know of such a community, but I’ll point you in the direction of conditional probability.

Kinda hope people find out after fucking around so much
- Comment on Can Trump pardon himself even though he did criminal stuff outside of office? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think so.
But if it’s like any other norm-breaking violation we’ve seen him make, he will do it anyway, there will be legal challenges, they will ultimately be fruitless, he will suffer no consequences, and everyone will go along with it.

This would mean that there was more uranium around millions and billions of years in the past so why isn’t there any evidence of prehistoric nukes in the fossil record

Klan.
I don’t care the intent or the season or the laws or the lulz. You wear a white fucking sheet to a polling place in a southern state, it looks like the fucking Klan. Fuck them.

I really do wonder if the first thought to cross my mind after witnessing the beginning of an irl avengers-level threat will be “wellp at least I don’t have to go into work”.
- Comment on Why am I getting spam text messages trying to confirm I live in my phone's area code? 5 weeks ago:
I’m just guessing here, but I imagine it’s for “marketing purposes”. People sometimes (perhaps often) move around without changing their phone number, so area code alone wouldn’t be enough to pinpoint where you live.
Knowing where you live probably helps with micro-targeting ads.

Red Bull commercials confused me so much in my younger years. Obviously it can’t make you fly, so what does it do?
Even into my adult years, I’ve found myself avoiding energy drinks, not just because they usually taste awful, but also because they trigger this subconscious feeling that they’re trying to scam me.

- Comment on What do allergies feel like for you? 1 month ago:
As far as I know, I have 2 main allergies: pollen and metals (some metals, not sure which exactly).
Pollen
- It feels like my nose is a leaky faucet. It will run and run and I’ll have sneezing fits for hours. If I blow my nose, it makes the inside feel super-dry and itchy, which just kicks off more running and sneezing. So it basically feels pointless to blow my nose at all, and I usually settle for sniffling instead. But if I do that too much, I start getting mini-sinus headaches.
- Flare-ups. Sometimes I’ll see the plants that trigger it and I’ll start sneezing within 10-20 minutes. Other times I’ll go outside and it’ll start out of nowhere. It’ll last for hours.
- Meds do not seem to help at all. Maybe they shorten what would be a 6-hour episode into a 3-hour episode but who tf knows. I have yet to find anything that kicks in faster than a couple hours after use.
Metals
- I break out in a highly localized rash. It’s red, bumpy, and itches like mosquito bites.
- Flare-ups after prolonged contact (several hours) with a metal. It’ll last anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days.
- No meds. It’s pretty easy to ignore when it flares up, and it’s easy enough to avoid exposure.

Me, looking for technical writing jobs after writing a highly fucking technical dissertation: I have a PhD but I’m pretty burned out on being a try-hard so I’m just looking for a straightforward 9-to-5.
Them: We’re worried you’ll be bored.
Me: Anyone would get bored doing this, at least I’ll be good at it.
Them: No.

- Comment on Calling in healthy 2 months ago:
That would be called vacation time vs sick time in my org, but there are definitely differences in when/how they’re used.
Sick time is like, “I don’t feel good today, I’m just not working today.”
Vacation time is like, “I’m feeling pretty good today, I’d like to take a feel-good day. But I better schedule schedule it a couple weeks out, check with my manager, make sure there are no deadlines coming up, make sure someone else can cover for me,” and so on.

That’s the face I make when an experiment that should only have 2 possible outcomes somehow leads to a completely uninterpretable third outcome.
