Got an FB DM with a link to a proKirk

Got an FB DM with a link to a pro-Kirk video, and I went off, but I have to wonder if I should have gone off and outed people who sent me things like this previously. A Joe Rogan ep that you wouldn't put on your timeline, but sent to me? Name and shame.

Because it seems like the purpose of these sorts of DMs is to feel you out to see if you might be an ally in hate, or get the sort of feedback that reinforces your in-group state, without taking broader social risk.

And we need to reinstate that broader social risk.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
