I guess I view extreme-right-wing ideologies like opioid abuse: We know that criminalizing drug abuse doesn't really solve the problem.

I find the sweeping generalizing of groups that people are directing their hate towards to be incredibly toxic.

The Boston protests (for example) were purely about Free Speech: http://i.imgur.com/abhmjW8.png

Yet thousands of protesters show up, shout slurs and weave their own narratives that the protesters are nazis which then justify their directed hate.

It's disgusting: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskThe_Donald/comments/6utjoi/anyon...

It's just mobs justifying hate, its the most ironic shit I've ever seen. It just fills me with more discontent and distrust of the majority and the mob.

Idiocracy is getting less and less satirical by the day.

You're upset because other protestors showed up and exercised their right to free speech? Sorry you're disgusted, but it's free speech, you know.

I'm not disgusted by their right to do it.

I'm disgusted with the lack of critical thinking it represents.

So, it's OK if they think as long as they think the way you want?
