  • Conservatives named it, and are currently weaponizing it. But it started with people being racist on facebook and then getting fired because online activists were complaining. This trend continues today with tik-toks that say thing like “make them famous.” The online rallying cry on reddit and other spaces that freedom of speech wasn’t freedom of consequences, and of course that the first amendment only applies to the government.

    While those positions are legally true, in liberal fashion they never considered if the chilling effect this created could ever be weaponized. But maybe having your livelihood being dependent on having “correct” opinions could possibly be a problem that a Just society should attempt to address?













  • I am assuming a theoretical world where we have millions of people dedicated to mass action. In that world if those people were committed to not voting for Dems or Republicans and instead voting for any of the various socialist candidates at every governmental level, we would have a fully socialist (albeit different flavors of socialism) society in 6 years.

    Obviously this is fantasy as people are not a collective, and passive participation in society results in “lesser of two evils” voting behavior and neuters any potential boycott pressure. Thus the status quo is propagated.
