It's easy to be a keyboard warrior.

I haven’t said anything that would make me a “keyboard warrior” but nice try.

Telling others via an online medium to do what you want, regardless of what motivates them to do what they have committed themselves to doing, is the definition of a keyboard warrior.

"Oh, they could if they just banded together" as if it's so easy. It isn't. Humans don't work like that.

If you want to change minds, work on changing minds. Saying "they ought to do what I want or they are commies" is super easy from a non-participant's perspective.

“Telling others via an online medium to do what you want, regardless of what motivates them to do what they have committed themselves to doing, is the definition of a keyboard warrior.“

-And that’s not what I did. Try again. I’m saying what people should do but I’m certainly not disregarding motives or barking out orders. Don’t egregiously misinterpret any strong suggestion as an order.

“as if it's so easy. It isn't. Humans don't work like that.”

-It is easy and it just requires a bit of leadership. The sheriff just has to say “we ain’t enforcing it” and that’s all there is to it. It’s natural for humans to unite under strong leadership.

“If you want to change minds, work on changing minds“

-That’s exactly what I’m doing and I'm doing it through peaceful and voluntary means.

“Saying "they ought to do what I want or they are commies" is super easy from a non-participant's perspective.“

-I’m just saying that people shouldn’t act like commies. I obviously don’t want them to act like commies...

But rank and file cops, whom you are saying should quit, can't change the leadership in the way you suggest.

I disagree with your technique but we are on the same side.

LOL And it's easy for some people to say they're not wearing a mask when they ARE.
