gulliver's JournalMass harassment of people by occupation
The Internet has made it no fun to be in a lot of jobs. To me, it's just silly. The peanut gallery, the tiny fringes on the left and right, now have access to too much information and too little access to inhibitory social feedback.
Good healthcare workers get grief from COVID vaccine deniers and hydroxychloroquine bozos.
Good teachers get grief from...everyone.
Good cops get grief from FTPers, DTPers, and other fools.
Good politicians get grief from...everyone.
Imo, we have to be careful. If we can't, as a democratic majority group of wise people, shield good workers from the harassment of unelected, self-selected, attention-seeking, inadequately thoughtful fringe actors (on the left and right), we risk making key jobs untenable. Then, the better people will leave those jobs and the worse people will stay in and gravitate toward those jobs, even getting higher pay for the work.
