>Fight angry outrage with threats of angry outrage?
It's hard to see how that makes sense.
Not threats of angry outrage, actual angry outrage. The left's tactics should be used against them, in greater degrees, until they cease using those tactics.
You mean there is not enough angry outrage on the right? Are you serious?
Your comment highlights the main problem in American politics, on both sides: a vicious cycle of self-victimization where participants seem to become completely blind to how their own actions are a reflection of the hated others'.
>You mean there is not enough angry outrage on the right? Are you serious?
My point was not that there is not enough angry outrage on the right. There certainly is. My point was that the right's angry outraged is not as organized and focused as the left's. In addition to random angry tweets, they need to wage public campaigns against the employers or businesses of their counterparts on the left to get them fired or professionally destroyed, the way the left does to people on the right who express badthink in public.
I'm an example of the unorganized, unfocused anger on the right. I've never yet taken concrete steps to bring about the change I'd like to see, beyond talking about it on HN.
>Show them how wrong they are by becoming like them? That's... not very wise. Also cowardly.
I have no interest in showing them they're wrong. I just want them to stop trying to destroy people who publicly express opinions which with they disagree.
As to whether or not that's "cowardly", I'm not really concerned.
