When Munch was a boy... freedom was a potato. It was you didn't get killed today. Freedom from hunger, from the rusty blade. But to free himself, the man ate first so others could not. He killed before he was killed. He wanted nothing more, because only kings... had the freedom to want. But now everywhere you look, you see kings. Everything they want, they call their own, and if they cannot have it, they say that they are not free. They even pretend their freedom should be free, that it has no cost, but the cost is always... death. Life for life. Me... or you.
You're one of those constitutional sheriffs. Yes, I am. Defender of freedom and protector of the common man against the tyranny of the state and all its wicked demands. Taxes? Oh, yeah. The social safety net? Well, I'd spit, but, uh... Respect for the otherly-abled? The whole multi-cultural panoply. Billy has two mothers, et cetera, et cetera.
Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
Twitter is bad but I'm realizing that if it dies then there will be zero mainstream social media platforms where NSFW content can be posted without restrictions (reddit doesn't really count, it's a combination forum host/link aggregator), and that really, really scares me with regards to where we are at as a society.
