People’s perception they are being ‘hurt’ my internet comments is entirely the problem.

And the problem is in themselves.

And those are the same people who think nobody should ever be able to question them, and are apt to response to violence and rage and insults.

There is no ‘civil’ way to challenge someone who is emotionally distrait at the existence of people they don’t like existing… and that’s what drives so much of the online hate discourse. They want to exterminate the bad feelings and think they can do so by exterminating the bad people.

Rather than… exert or develop any emotional control of themselves… they think that is hate speech if you suggest that. It’s ‘ableist’ now to suggest that people are responsible for their own emotions and reactions.
