  Oh nooo, little miss Ayn Rand fangirl hasn’t been working in politics. Her mandate lasted nearly twenty fucking years, she had plenty of time as a politician.

    twenty fucking years

    How is that relevant? There’s no time limit on being a politician.

    And it’s a huge problem if politicians feel that they have to cease their engagement because of fuckfaces spreading hate and threats against them.
    If you downplay the issue you’re either not a fan of democracy or can’t see the wider implications.

    The issue is normalisation of hate against politicians, which is the end becomes nazi assassinations.
    It starts with people, often online, creating a climate where personal attacks are okay, then it step by step increases in intensity to become calls for violence and so on.

    You are intentionally sabotaging public discourse

    Absolutely not. There’s a difference between calling politicians “fucking dumb” and criticizing policy. If you can’t understand that I can’t help you.

        And no one has made such claims.
        I’m afraid that you are completely missing the point. I don’t understand if it is with intent or not but it is not helpful for the debate.
