Wolf Picture Sparks Angry Comments, From Both Hunters and Anti-Hunters

The article is spot on - delete the waste of space comments. No one cares that the scolds can't equate hunting for meat with what you get from your supermarket in styrofoam trays.

I think people like the author are beginning to realise that the mobs of outrage are mostly toothless if we ignore them. Listening to a Jordan Peterson podcast where he mentioned that he'd been vilified endlessly but was still standing and people still wanted to hear his message; and random strangers still come up to him in the street to thank him for his message.

Most scolds are only capable of outrage at the 'comment/like' level and don't go beyond there. Even JK Rowling got herself into hot water when she made 'TERF' like comments. But even then, with her global reach and the outrage factories running full steam, it was only 55,000 'people' who commented. Not all negative and less than a football stadium of people. We shouldn't base business decisions or employment decisions or policy decisions on the mob voice of so few people.

I'm sincerely hopeful that 2019 might turn out to have been the high water mark of outrage woke scolds punishing those they oppose through social media. There will be no peace with them through appeasement, that just convinces them that they have power.
 
I scrolled down a few swipes and saw an internet infamy 2014 image of Steven Spielberg posing in front of a 'reposing' animatronic Triceratops, which caused many people to lose their minds. Just goes to show that the world has some incredibly stupid humans with the power of to broadcast their opinions in a flick of a digit - CGN company excluded.
