About the anti-stonetoss stuff being ineffective...well, look at that shit on Reddit: "I never liked this guy but now I can say it because it's socially approved!"
These individuals are bugmen who have such a brutal, primitive sense of social order that I don't think they're even able to laugh WITH people.
In fact I don't even think humor really computes for most of them anymore.
They like the idea of humor because humor is something associated with being clever and socially secure, people like listening to and being around those with a good sense of humor, but they don't care about being funny because it doesn't have a quantifiable "point" to it.
Therefore kind of like their "comedians" who will stand up on stage preaching at people for a half an hour while very poorly wrapping their pontification up in a faintly joke-like construction, they want to put the points they're making in a context that would suggest they're being subversive, but they have no desire to be funny or have a good time. For them interaction is prosaic and transactional.
Basically in the bugman swarm there's no point in making jokes, only in making superficially joke-shaped statements in service of furthering one's sociopolitical agenda and reinforcing us vs them. That's bugmen for you.
