Musings on nature of Facebook

So, according to AmScip & Friends, homophobic clerks resigning because they refuse to give marriage licenses to gay couples are example of civil disobedience.

Hmm, I think they'd need to keep their posts and refuse- there's nothing illegal about quitting their jobs.

[Valmy]

For all those people making fun of government employees resigning in connection with the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell: that's how civil disobedience is supposed to work. Those people are giving up jobs and benefits for their beliefs. You may disagree with their opinions, but mocking them for making such a difficult decision just demonstrates your character.

If I cannot mock people for having stupid opinions then when can I mock people?

only that this and a high school principal reacting to Bv.B has absolutely nothing to do with one another.

It isn't? I thought he just said that you shouldn't mock people for opinions, why would it then not having anything to do with another opinion? Oh well coherence is not their strong suit. But we already went over the lack of ability to perform basic human brain functions with the Lincoln thing.

Why are you engaging these people?

Yup.  It's making a sacrifice for a principle.

AmScip's posts sometimes appear on my feed so I read them and then this happens:

I don't get the pedophilia connection. But if he brought up polyandry or incest he would have you on the ropes

I know! They never go for the obvious weak point, don't they - it's always pedophilia or bestiality.

By the way, you know my views on polyandry/polygamy and incest - I think all should be legal. That's because I'm consistent.

I am amused by the fact that Scip has avoided this thread altogether.

I would

But I think he seems to carefully avoid these social topics in general.

The Homofag Singularity in the US has unhinged you marti. Lay off Amscips social media and stop trolling for crimethink.

Jesus.

Nonsense, Marty has been unhinged for years.

The yoga has had a noticeable negative effect IMO.

Just in case Scip's actually reading this thread, I apologize for threadpocalypse on his feed earlier.  I forgot to not feed the trolls.

You think so? I hadn't noticed an unusual level of unhingeness outside of arguing with Scip's friends on Facebook.

Facebook man. Bad news.
