In the old days, before living on this planet became an endless episode of The Twilight Zone combined with a Franz Kafka novel, you could be forgiven for doing something that someone else didn’t like.
Not anymore.
Now people are routinely fired or de-platformed or creatively destroyed economically for having a different opinion.

“Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
Mark Twain
