Read on Twitter
I’m curious if anyone on this app ever introspected and noticed how being apart of a knowledge community that solely focuses on being morally superior to others and holding people to an unestablished set of moral standards is kind of unproductive and kind of authoritarian?
I hear this retorhic all the time that people can be re-taught not to be bad people. I’m just wondering if the common “teaching method” on twitter of asserting moral dominance and patronizing is an effective way to make people empathize with others.
I wanna clarify that I’m not talking about racist people. They need to stop being racist or just fuck off or both. That’s a separate issue.
I’m talking about how even within knowledge communities and social circles there isn’t even a general acceptance of differing ideas.

For instance; police reform - it seems like many people agree that there needs to be change. What happens so often is that people end up arguing more about minor details than working together to speak against the fundamental problem. It’s just not productive.
There are bad people out there that need to be told to drop dead, for sure.
BUT there are some people who are just genuinely misdirected or confused, and telling them to go fuck themselves may not be fair.

As a guy who talks lots of shit on twitter I think people gotta differentiate who they are talking shit to and take a look at why they’re talking this shit.
Is it to entertain? Is it to educate? Or is it to make your self feel important?

I give up on this thread.
