At the very least

Dr. Mia Brett on Twitter: "I will keep saying this until you listen. DV is the most common warning sign for a mass shooting. Misogyny is a gateway to online radicalization & white supremacy. Sexist online harassment leads to real world violence. Don’t tell us to just ignore the trolls" / Twitter

At the very least, some people can stop pretending their addiction to self absorption is coming from their wiser selves.
