I’m not trying to control lots of people. We have plenty who will engage in controversy without my help. Those few of us with the sense to stay out of useless fights have more important things to do than contributing to the noise. The soldiers would starve without the farmers and every idiot without self control and a keyboard thinks he’s a warrior. We have plenty of garden laborer positions to put the idiots to better use if we could get them. That’s not the same as burying your head in the sand and hoping it will all go away.

I’m not advocating for rage posting. I’m advocating for saying true things that make people uncomfortable because comfort has become our civilization’s fatal weakness.
The farmer feeds the soldier, sure. But if no one’s willing to defend the boundary between wheat and weeds, you’re just farming for invaders. You can tend your garden. Someone still has to name what’s trying to kill it.
The point is that zero controversy is a no go.
Virtue is couched between two extremes which are vices.
