sad to say it because these people absolutely don't deserve the consequences from a moral point of view, but from a practical point of view this is how mfs learn to value their privacy.

freedom of speech doesn't protect itself.

freedom of speech is between government and individuals, if i post "Kirk's death is a good thing" on LinkedIn and bellow me is my employer's logo, they are free to fire me, since that's not how they want to be represented

I am private about a lot. This is something that I am proud to stand up against. Kirk was a shitty person. We shouldn't, we cannot, let them intimidate us.

If we want freedom of speech, we cannot afford to hide our words behind anonymity.
