United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

I think regardless of this dude's age, my view is that internet shit talking + swearing + death threats just...the language of the forum (of the internet). I mean it isn't that long ago that netenyahu's son was posting "happy merchant" memes. 

It's materially and impactfully different than, say, grandpa going on a racist tirade directed at the Walmart cashier in person. We can't equate every edgelord "hot" statement posted on twitter dot com as a guarantee of material behavior...and thank god for that. 

If we fired everyone who threatened or wished JK Rowling dead, we wouldn't have anyone to wait on us in America's coffee shops left! We already as a society forgive this sort of Keyboard Warrior shit-talk all the time. I don't think there's any societal protection or benefit to half-assedly holding some arbitrary line that seems to only apply based on the poster's identity, and not the identity of the targeted group anyway.

Thank God for JD Vance pushing the Overton Window with REAL LEADERSHIP and changing this pitiful paradigm where people have to be perfect or else they lose their jobs and livelihood. For the past decade we have fed the hand that chokes all of us - liberalism ran amuck - that dares to ruin peoples lives just because of political disagreement. It all started when the LGBTLMNOP mafia sued bakers for not making gay cakes. We contended with public shaming, doxxing, villainization to the point where libs latched on to forcing everyone and their mother that these people were evil for having different viewpoints. 20 year friendships ended because you dare say conservative talking points. Yeah, he said some off the cuff stuff. But can he get the job done?? That's the question. Libs have spent the entire past generation weaponizing speech into a moral framework and forcing people to resign or fired for saying things people disagree (or even agree!) with.

Counterpoint: cops should be treated different especially because they desire power over us in order to use violence against us. Or at the very least as long as they are legally immune for violating rights.
