> At some point people have to realize that personal unease is not an argument.

that's not how it works though. if you find enough other people that have the same uneasiness, then you can form groups that get people elected to make rules that forces everyone else to comply with your uneasiness.

It's not an argument that anyone else is obligated to treat at all seriously.

You're uneasy? Boo frickin hoo.

Well, I'm in a state that passes legislation as fast as they can that tries to one up how ridiculously they can legislate away the rights of their population. So as flippant as you might try to be about it, doing nothing but making flippant comments on the internet is how we turn into a society that looks at each other wondering WTF happened. Because those with personal unease have mobilized, and now they're in charge.
