controversial stance mebbe but retribution isn't actually a bad thing, all criminal justice is a mode of retribution, a counter-measure and corrective applied as consequence for transgression, criminal justice is just the legal system of retribution

Well in their defense.... it's hard to defend against the finer points of your transgression without being able to admit to the greater transgression of weaponization.

Ugh MOOD. At best you get like...
"Cat. Human with cat ears headband. Human with a cat fur shader."
No MMO has playable Kobolds or Gnolls and that feels like a TRANSGRESSION.

Yarn Brain has always made clear he views things like “higher taxes” as a greater transgression than shedding elections to install a syphilitic king.
Indescribably funny to be doing “oh you guys can’t just blame him forever, let it go!” about the current president of the United States who is still in the first half of his term

Totally. I'm surprised it's not written into the rules of membership of the Democratic Party, that members shall not support any candidate standing against another Democrat (except during candidate selection). For example, it's in the UK Labour Party rules, and there are penalties for transgression.

tbh it doesn't feel like it has caused much chaos. It feels more like a transgression that a group uses to reinforce the rules.

Happy Halloween! Here’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever written—it’s about Frankenstein, transgression, and the transcendence of my seasonal crush Boris Karloff

Frankenstein rests in the meeting place where the two borders between transgression and transcendence touch.

this is the appeal of adopting explicit, particular nazi-style symbology as opposed to just being racist, sexist, &c. in a normie flag-waving way — you're getting off on transgression, "rawr look at me i'm the big bad monster!"

Taken in this understanding then, you have to see these people ultimately as being liberals.
Having this kind of world view necessarily means you think liberalism is “correct” and “good” but you’re going against it because you are spooky and evil. Aren’t you special.

I think you're right. consciously celebrating moral transgression/perversion is central to their project and self-conception, and in that light *waves hands* makes sense.
