(2,720 posts)So this guy decides to literally wage a "War on Women". He first kills his roommates who he was angry at for successfully dating women, likely because they treated their dates with respect (also, no doubt, them not being psychopaths might have had something to do with it). Then he starts killing women.
But hark! Had he only read a tweet: "Don't be a psychopathic murdering misogynistic asshole!" and all of this could have been prevented. He would have thrown up his hands and said, "You know? They're right! Why didn't I think of this before?" Then gotten sensitivity training and donated generously to planned parenthood.
Seem unlikely?
Heck. Even for non-psychopaths, are you aware of anyone who's had their mind changed by a tweet? The anti-choice movement is on twitter as well. Do you feel convinced by their missives? Do you even read them?
I'm always interested in seeing if there is anything that can actually be done in these situations, but forget political realities, I'm not even seeing any actual ideas.
