I would even say viewpoint of not the vocal minority. That is even near majority viewpoint, but if it is one not popular on twitter it is risky...


Isn't the whole dynamic of twitter that it can make a highly vocal minority viewpoint seem like an oppressive majority viewpoint, where reality is that it's like a heckler's veto on amphetamines with a megaphone?

Right now or at any point in the future. People have been canceled for things they said many years and opinion changes ago.


That’s the minefield of posting online. People measure your comments from 20 years ago with today’s sensitivity yardstick. I know I made wisecrack jokes decades ago that would get me fired today. Who knows whether some innocuous thing you say today will be horrendously taboo 20 years from now?
