this post got bigger than I expected.  feels really great that this message resonated with friends here, I wrote it because people were missing the forest for a tree when Pao left.  KiA could be the school for a group that in the future will stand for truth and fairness in media more broadly, and be able to go toe to toe with the elite and their tactics of division and censorship. it will probably take heroes in the future willing to be blacklisted before the idea that it is wrong to force your preferences and thoughts on other people sinks in to a part of the broader culture, and we get consensus that SJW objectives and tactics are not okay. key is the idea that legal free speech on your private time cannot result in economic blacklisting.
