It uses the likes of Ck to show that this kinda outrage doesn’t really hurt the recipient and forgets that a lot of the people on the receiving end of these mobs aren’t the 1%, they aren’t Hollywood millionaires and they are, in fact, middle managers, PR reps, civil servants, care givers and doctors who, while not suffering proles, aren’t wielding their power to hold everyone else down. And these people, when the mob has tasted blood and kicked them into submission, aren’t okay. They do hurt. They do suffer from suicidal thoughts and agoraphobia and paranoia and they are absolutely distressed. And we dehumanise them to such a degree that the only way to pretend that what we’re doing isn’t that bad is to imagine, like the article above, that they’re all the Bill Gateses, the Cks and the Ronaldos in our lives. They’re not, they’re people, and if you need the article above to feel better for yourself, then that’s fine, but don’t pretend that these mobs are harmless.
And the less said about the implication that mobs are not capable of truly being “leftist” and that they’re inherently mysognyistic or racist the better.
tldr; pile of shite.

we are now in a place where we place more value on being a victim than on being heroic, charitable, or even kind.
