I do not believe the ends justify the means. Full stop. I do not like being told to idly stand aside while we watch outrage mobs use oppressive rhetoric and illogical tactics to effect change, even if we all agree the cause is just. That's the actual problem people have and what fundamentally irks me about the entire thing. I'm not interested in calmly standing down so as not to inflame their sensitive temper. (And I have tried ignoring it, nothing changed.) Why should I condone behavior that is literally harming other people's livelihood and destroying a society where people are truly safe and free to express themselves? I've waited long enough for the pendulum to swing back. I'm not convinced the end is just around the corner and it will all be over soon. Do you know what the end looks like? I can never seem to get an answer.
