Might be an unpopular opinion on here but I think it's possible to say that it was good to back down on a tweet without necessarily saying Jared Fogle's actions were a victimless crime

Tweet it, let it marinate for an hour, call to signal boost it, then delete it because its veracity is specious at best.

Everyone on earth has apologized for something that they don't actually think was bad, if they think it's also not really worth defending. That's the kind of good will that everyone can agree is helpful to interpersonal relationships.

This is quite different from the guy who made the tweet quitting his position at the DSA and undergoing 'sensitivity training', as well as him and the DSA releasing page-long statements about a tweet. It's not healthy for an organization or a movement to handle minor infractions so dramatically.

Somebody pointed out that this way, if/when he comes back, people will have a harder time bitching about it. It seems unnecessary/overkill to me, but I'm not running a political organization. :shrug:

in a way this is even more appropriate since those torture schemes haven't slowed down and haven't been stopped in any way since then.

Yeah. I'm going out on a limb here and saying that the Virgil thing would've actually had some semblance of evidence backing it up if it were true. Instead of being something that happened right after some CHUDs said they were going to do exactly what this was. Believe victims, don't believe random, easily-fabricated crap coming from nobodies while The BS Terror Alert level should be at red already. Believe victims, don't believe third-hand hearsay.

This is why twitter/reddit is awful. Anyone who thought about this for half a second would realize that publicizing the accusation that way (screenshots of a conversation with a third party) would could lead to no good outcomes. But hey, gotta get those upvotes and those retweets and be twitter celebrity adjacent. If Virgil is guilty, releasing some third hand "heard it on discord" without the actual permission and words of the actual person involved just leads people to second guess the victim and take control away from her. And if Virgil isn't, then the negative outcome should be obvious.

Also funny and convenient that /pol/ has been planning this week to make up false rape allegations against leftists and fake chat texts to back them up.

Believing poo poo you see online unless it's verified by a major outlet is loving stupid, and sometimes even then you should be suspicious.

It's not even about doubting the story. It was specially lovely to do this if it is true.
