“purity tests are the tools of fanatics, and the quest for purity ultimately becomes indistinguishable from the quest for power.” Via ⁦@JenSeniorNY⁩ ⁦@PamelaPareskypsychologytoday.com/us/blog/happin…
It will be interesting to see how online mobs handle the situation of college students discovered to have posted misogynistic or racist rap lyrics as teenagers.

Has anyone seen any examples yet of young people having their lives ruined for this?

Mob justice is not justice.
Another example, via @PamelaParesky: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happin… African American football star, Kyler Murray, sent very homophobic tweets when he was a teenager. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyler_Mur…
