At Ace, a celebration of the fundraising in support of Memories Pizza.
The old model of the Outrage Brigades was to pick a target, call in the mob and hound the target out of polite company. Think of Justine Sacco. Well, a new model may develop from the Memories Pizza fiasco....the left still tries to destroy an innocent person who has the temerity to express an unapproved thought but instead of being destroyed by the lynch mob, the target is supported and literally enriched by the experience.
This isn't the way it's supposed to go and now the hatemongers are upset. Naturally they aren't reexamining their tactics or beliefs, they are doing what insane people always do...delve into deeper and deeper into comforting fantasies about how their victims are really powerful oppressors engaged in a complex conspiracy.
