Thinking every joke is actually about you is the one pure path to enlightenment. It's pretty nuts that the CVille funds haven't been processed yet tho

I think the person who told the joke is allowed to decide, based on feedback from people in DSA for whom "cars hitting people" is understandably traumatic, that it wasn't such a great idea and take it back, but maybe this is blaming the victim (i.e., the person who told the joke, a victim of people who got upset as his joke). Or maybe we are the victims for being deprived of a joke we'd probably forget about in a day or two anyway. I'm still trying to figure out why getting upset at people who got upset at a joke is the normaler (tm) thing to do than getting upset at a joke tho, for a long time I have associated rolling one's eyes at "the perpetually offended" and being deeply concerned about their online lynch mobs with the right wing so figuring it out in a socialist context is a bit confusing to me. Is this horseshoe theory or...?

he made an innocent joke, people got overly offended by it, he deleted it because he felt bad, now it's entering the stage where it becomes part of the eternal proxy battle of the terminally online and the npc/momentum faction

Like you weren't quoting some rando who was looking to pick a fight, you quoted the co-chair of DSA Charlottesville, where people have a pretty loving legitimate reason to not want to joke about their comrades getting hit by cars. It's not at all unreasonable for someone in her position to ask for an apology, which is why one of the two people she specifically asked to apologize did so after that tweet. Empathy isn't exactly difficult, you know; most people figure it out by the time they've learned how to work doorknobs.

I think you'll find that never ever trying to see someone else's point of view and always assuming bad faith makes the world much easier to navigate, though. Like, look, anything else takes minimal effort, why bother when I can just assume that anyone getting mad online at something I like is just part of the shadow council of democratic socialists who hate single payer, a thing that definitely exists?

I do like the shift from "Abolish the NPC, purge the out of touch big city chapter online dramalamas" to "defend the NPC from demands for apologies from organizers in smaller rural chapters" though.

Hope this helps  e: that came out way more aggressive than I intended  (It also had nothing to do with charlottesville[can we start dragging this poor dude over the canadian incel too]) Marxalot has issued a correction as of 00:45 on May 13, 2018 |

Molly is a super cool person because she actually makes the effort to help smaller chapters organize. And she is absolutely right. One kid doing a joke is whatever. The npc getting in on that joke about restitution to being hit by a car even as national still hasn't paid out the funds they collected is pretty bad.

Marxalot posted:Jokes are how people cope with tragedy. An empathetic person would understand this. Hope this helps Yeah, I know that the original twitter account wasn't intended to evoke Charlottesville, but nevertheless, that was how the affected people read the joke. When the person who made the account found out that his goofy joke tweets were unintentionally hurtful, he apologized and deleted the account. Nobody did anything wrong there. The only people who are absolutely in the wrong are the ones trying to stoke conflict heedless of the fact that they're harming PTSD survivors by doing so, whether they're doing so to take potshots at the NPC or to defend the sanctity of Joke's Online. And yeah of course people use humor to cope with trauma, but that wasn't the case here (or at least, if it was, it had nothing to do with Charlottesville). It was just a regular-rear end joke that was inappropriate in the specific context where it was used.

At least they're not German shepherds, who collaborate with the police and have never apologized for their role in the Holocaust.

If you want to abolish the NPC and remove any actual structure above individual chapters, now would be the time to push for it.

We've crossed the twitter transition point between "That's insensitive" to "Tattoo the mark of the beast on your forehead, I am your eternal nemesis, you will never apologize correctly, you should be fired, you should kill yourself".
