Let&#x27;s commit a small rudeness and step away from the airy theoretical.<p>- The US is so unsafe, you can get armed bureaucrats reaching into your ass in public and feeling your hemorrhoids. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;the-watch&#x2F;wp&#x2F;2016&#x2F;04&#x2F;01&#x2F;video-shows-white-cops-performing-roadside-cavity-search-of-black-man&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;the-watch&#x2F;wp&#x2F;2016&#x2F;04&#x2F;01&#x2F;...</a>)<p>- It&#x27;s so unsafe, mobs of sociopathic videogamers can &quot;SWAT&quot; your family by calling a SWAT team to your house.

I personally get to be pretty safe. But others want a little <i>safety</i> too, which is a prerequisite to freely express their opinions.<p>To be clear: we&#x27;re not talking about shutting down dissenting opinions on math. We&#x27;re talking about shutting down the violence that supports one side&#x27;s mediocre, backwards ideas. No wonder why some struggle to maintain that lopsided advantage.
