Reminds me of those edits to that photo of a subway sandwich that come back around to "why are you complaining? You made the sandwich."

Think about that.
ENDING birthright citizenship is a #1 goal of the Trump regime, hand picking who they want to be citizens. Now recall that they have also discussed:
*Deporting U.S. citizens
*Taking citizenship back from naturalized citizens

I think it was a pretty reasonable interpretation of the parenthetical!

Bellyaching about it and not redacting folks names is very dumb. Could’ve just said oops my bad and moved on with his day or blocked/muted and Silence is always an option.

You are definitely correct that he could and should have just corrected himself and said “oh OK. I didn’t mean it like this. I meant it like this”

But also, there are people who immediately jumped to telling him to kill himself.

tbh I don't think any of this would have happened if not for the parenthetical

Yeah because it seems to come down to if you think the parenthetical is meant to be contrastive or emphatic, that is to say is it 'physical therapy which (unlike talk therapy) is really abuse' or 'physical therapy which is (just another form of) abuse'. In speech this would be clarified by stress

Also wouldn’t have happened if people read the thread

i love that this whole thing spiraled because he editorialized with that parenthetical, and then spent the resulting fallout acting as if he was being misattributed to some quote... when the parenthetical is what pissed everyone off.

y'know. the "context" that he felt the need to include.

I don't care enough (and I'm not smart enough) to decide who is right about whatever, but I feel like you can just block people like this in less time than it takes to screenshot all of them into a new post and then spend another four skeets begging for pats on the back.

Yeah like I am more on his side than not but this was probably the worst possible way to handle the situation

You can when it's just a hand full of people. But when its 30, 40, 50 or more in a pile on? In the comments. Plus the quote tweets. At a certain point that's just exhausting.

We as a society used to just complain to our spouses that people were being dumb, then Facebook came along and we got the "passive aggressively begging for compliments" post and it has all been downhill since

it WAS my goal and I'm proud to have accomplished it. the immense joy I feel at his tiny suffering is a net good.

Rather put a gun in my mouth than whip out the canons of construction to interpret a post

It took one privileged white 'journalist' to make a whine-post for all the white liberals on this site to come together and dehumanize trans people.

This is such bullshit. If you post nasty shit at someone, you can’t play victim once they clap back.

One of his posts got taken out of context? It's frustrating when that happens, but doubling down by saying that there's only one good faith way to read an ambiguous parenthetical and tripling down by putting random people on blast for his largeish audience is bad and indicative of bad character.

you see, I posted (this) but what I actually meant was (this). they're two very different ideas as you can plainly see.

This specific post from Mark is super irresponsible and he can't pretend to not know exactly what he's doing by posting it and leaving it up. It's super shitty of him.
