But sadly any reminder doesn't solve the structural problem: The people who push the culture-war narrative are going to get that sweet, sweet, attention - they will get the retweets, the boosts, the likes, etc. Those who urge caution, well, a long time later they might get vindicated, which is worth very little in the attention economy. And once in a while they will be urging caution about something that turns out to be every bit as horrible as it seems at first. Then the haters will forever proclaim THAT THIS APOLOGIST FOR EVIL MINIMIZED AN ATROCITY!!!
