T.Rob on March for our Lives

2018-03-27 01:45:00.881249+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

I'm up in the air about some of the policy proposals I've seen related to March for our Lives, but it's interesting to see what it has come to mean to various people. Some of what Rob talks about here brought memories of my own grade school experience... T.Rob: Big thanks for March for our Lives:

Being autistic, social media had been a refuge for me. The place where I was able to find community and be part of someone’s “us” group. That ended with the campaign and the total abandonment of any civility of discourse. No matter how well researched and reasoned my argument, I was a “libtard,” a “snowflake,” a “cuck” and worse. When I reported a Facebook group advocating incarceration or murder of all autistic people, jailing or killing people like me in other words, Facebook’s initial response was that it didn’t violate their Terms of Service. Contempt had become the new normal.
