Totalitarians, fascists and other scary governments prosecute you without telling you what you did, and everybody agrees that this is an evil practice. But now it's normal and accepted on social media (leminal.space)

What? No. You can't just walk in, say some dumb shit and decide that it's your house.

That's nonsense.

Your original point was the equivalent of "Stepping on Legos is literally the same as land mines, amiright?"

No, it's not, and you're not a victim.

My original point was the indecency of prosecution without explanation, actually.

You were not prosecuted.

Was I persecuted?

It's a weighty point that I am discussing elsewhere.
