@margaret.bsky.social If you want to get a kickstart on researching a Cool People episode about the Anti-Poll Tax riots I highly recommend The Battle of Trafalgar Channel 4 documentary, and the edition of Spare Rib that came out the week following 31st March. Links to follow if I can find them.

It does seem unfair that you can't guarantee that people will read the same meaning from your words as you intended them to carry. It does feel like everything would be easier if they did. That doesn't make it possible to actually do that though.

Here's the problem, though. If you stand up to tanks in the streets, everyone will agree you're a Brave Hero. But if you stand up to the small things -- stopping the train before it really gets started -- you will be coded as *annoying*, as uptight, as moralistic, as uncool.

The time to prevent the thing from happening is *early*, as it is gaining steam. These things always start small, with efforts to weaken the norms against discrimination, with casual, unreflective slurs. They start with wedge policies (not gays, just gay adoption! not trans, just sports!).

But here's what I keep returning to: by the time the gov't is organized, tyrannical, & rounding up the marginalized, it's pretty much too late. By that time the remedies are often armed rebellion or invasion by another country or, at the very least, extended general strikes. Cat's out of the bag.

Worst of all, it appears to be the only way the FBI targets people for investigations. It looks at Laura Loomer's little Jigsaw from Saw panopticon feed and determines who to target next. There is no professional or personal use case for being on Twitter in 2026. It's an engagement trap for racists.

I don’t think they’re confused about that at all. They define criminal in the same way the conservatives and the government does. Their complaint isn’t that many innocent people are being terrorized, it’s just that they and their loved ones should be exempt.
