@RichDecibels What would a world with no norm enforcement look like? Tried thinking of something and couldn't really come up with anything. Even 4chan has norms of a sort, you know what I mean? Even completely anarchistic parts of the world have norms enforced by roving gangs.
@RichDecibels Unfortunately that is their right; the only way out is to become Too Useful To Stone https://t.co/KlW2Ww02ro
@RichDecibels normies: deviation from the norm will be punished (ingroup: unless it's exploitable) https://t.co/6hJhmtKm4r
@RichDecibels One thing I want to add is that these days the normies aren't even in agreement about what the social norms are, especially when you look across generational lines. Different generations have different social norms now. This is not good.
@RichDecibels Sure, but your post is implicitly defending such practices as actually just and/or good and/or necessary. If you're only describing "How Things Work", then fine, but it does sound like you are endorsing this as the proper state of norm-enforcement affairs https://t.co/0meP6PuDLr
