This is a trilingual woman with a limited education who is nonetheless arguing with the premises of questions asked to her by a white dude with a law degree. One that appears to have showed up to court after sniffing glue, but still.

MLK is like their Good!Hitler.

I might have replied to the wrong person. I don't think I meant to disagree with you, maybe more to expand and explain the culture of why things get dismissed that are totally cool in other contexts, and why that's not a bad thing.

Sure, it's an extreme, but it's not like it's an uncommon extreme.

I want to add, I've been going to nerdy conventions since I was six. Maybe it's just because I am older, but back when they were truly niche, they felt a lot more safe.

Oh my fucking God, the internet was partially created on a government grant, and developed in public universities. It would not exist without public funds. You cannot possibly be this stupid.

Saying "Where's the line?" after offering me a stupid strawman to contrast your stupid proposal doesn't really advance the conversation, either.

Whether you like it or not, society forms institutions whose entire goal is to exercise power in society. It forms governments, schools, religions, and many many many other institutions. It is absurd to frame this as whether social engineering is wrong. Social engineering is something that is pervasive and would…

I assess on a case by case basis, and if something is reasonable, it's reasonable. A variety of things I have yet to conceive of are going to be reasonable. It's not necessarily useful or substantive to talk about an ethical "line." Again with the dumb cliches. It's like you were a robot raised by Law and Order…
