Yeah, this was not one of Stevens's strongest opinions. Here's a good summation of why:

Any argument that concludes in “change the bill of rights” should be laughed out of existence. I would go so far to say when arguments like this are even proposed, they make the situation worse because then people’s minds go straight to slippery slope fears.

I was certain of gh's position, but yours (at first read) seemed like you were countering the point.

All good.

I've already promoted this guy: https://twitter.com/hradzka?ref_src=tws ... r%5Eauthor

I don't think he's that far off (the idea that the right should try to emulate the left regarding organizing) , but I can't help but think if conservatives actually organized that there would be a huge number that would lose their jobs. Not Fascists, nothing crazy, but some guy that shows up some pro 2A event and gets doxxed. A mom and pop machine shop can ignore stupid twitter or facebook campaigns, but most people don't work there. A lot of people have to work at a faceless corporation and are therefore at risk.

The left has a different risk profile for firing. See: YVETTE FELARCA

Not anymore. Bots are getting pretty good at magnifying the smallest opportunity to sow discord (see 2016 election) and most young leftists don't exactly have 50hr/week office jobs.

Too soon?

YouTube have ploughed this field and sown it. It’s become a hotbed and playing field for far right and Nazi idealogues and channels. Now they reap what they sow.

Kinda no pity.
