You don't want to wait to the last minute to stop something. If you see an accident forming from afar, you start reacting now.

This bot may be a "joke" but it represents the thought police and the author should be sternly reprimanded.

So, what appears to have happened is, someone who views political correctness as stifling made a troll bot to paint their opposition as absurd.

And you are asking us to treat this as a representation of a real threat to free thought, and not only to respond, but to respond as it were an emergency or natural disaster.

Do you hear how absurd that sounds to my ears?

It represents the thought police in exactly the same way that anyone having any opinion represents that.
