This morning I woke up to that woman with the stumpy arms getting banned on twitter for saying some crap about vaccines.. now, in a way I agree, its maddening to listen to, and it feels like easy to blame them because you can. But that doesnt mean I think we should knock the sticks off their shoulders.
I think the whole thing is one big go ahead knock the stick off my shoulder! trick.
and I think we're falling right for their trap and when I see us shutting down threads for misinformation, it starts feeling like CNN or Twitter has completely taken control.
Like, are we going to knock the stick off their shoulder and they fight back? or do they want us to knock the stick off their shoulder because that's spawn jesus?
Either way, responding with authority against them, I think only damns us all.
