We live in a cruel, bitter, quasi-barbaric society that values punishment and humiliation over education and empathy. This manifests itself in a myriad ways - including, clearly, among movements whose stated goal is to change that. But the idea that this represents a specific ideological failing of "SJWs" or "PC culture gone wild" or whatnot is ludicrous and can only be maintained with an extreme degree of selective outrage.
I hope we can all agree that harassing and doxxing 13-year-olds is wrong, or at the very least inappropriate. What is a 13-year-old doing making a comment like that, though? Kids need to understand that when they post something online, they are shouting it to the whole world.
I fully agree that we as a society need more education and empathy, and less humiliation and punishment. How do we accomplish that, other than starting with ourselves and the way we treat others?
