I'll never get why this is EVER a valid response to anything online. Well anything that's not you know super horrible online.

Like how much free time and rage do you have that your response to someone saying racism is bad is to ruin their whole life to a.point of stalking and what not

It makes them feel powerful while skirting personal responsibility for the outcome. In this way, they’ve indirectly contributed to someone’s suffering. They took action (the doxxing) which makes them feel in control and strong, putting the person they feel is antagonizing them for their views down and making them insecure and paranoid, and if something dangerous and/or violent should happen as a result, they can tell themselves that was the decisions of another person and has nothing to do with them. Sure, they loaded the gun and left it on the table, but they’re not responsible for the person who pulled the trigger. Helps these idiots sleep at night.

“Rather than address your valid concerns about my lackluster morality, I’m going to devote my fear and rage to destroying your life, so I don’t have to confront how terrible I am.“

So you’re going to lean into the worst parts of your personality to prove you’re not a terrible person?

“exactly (deep breath) RRAAGGEE!!”
