When you allow far right attitudes to grow … they are like weeds that start appearing everywhere.
My general rule of thumb is … if one’s ideals and beliefs start affecting the lives of others … then their beliefs are not about them, they believe in wanting to control the lives of others.
That’s not how democracy works, restricting people’s ability to express their emotions only further radicalizes them - that’s how you get insurrections and civil wars.
Agreed … my point is that right wing extreme views have a right to say what they want … they just don’t have the right to stop others from expressing their views for themselves. The cross walk was allowed to go through by young people in the community and many in the community supported it … it was the right wing extremists who wanted to stop the crosswalk from being promoted or celebrated.
The difference between the left and the right is … the left are willing to fight for the rights of everyone, including their opponents … the right only want to fight for their own rights regardless of how it affects anyone else.
