When you've watched various ideological groups from the outside, you quickly realize all humans have the capacity to be awful. Especially the groups that believe they are beyond reproach - these are the most dangerous.
For one, you said "in this thread."

I don't understand your values here. You say no politics on a video game forum, yet you debate the merits of democracy for pages. You argue free speech, (which allows for dissent and discourse) but also civility (which requires we conduct ourselves politely.) You seem to think only conservative people should have the benefits of either. You were sephiroth posting about algorithms, propaganda, and scapegoats, and now you're repeating right-wing ragebait. You don't apply your rules consistently, and you're mini-modding. Whatever your intentions are, I think you're only stirring the pot. If you wanted to calm people down and temper the discourse, there are better ways than condescending to them.

I also want to say; hate is not the problem. If somebody hates me, that's his problem, but he's allowed. If his hate is enshrined in institutions, traditions, laws, and norms, then it's my problem. There are no institutions, traditions, laws, or norms that punish or prohibit heterosexuality, and no one seriously advocating for them. "Phobias" and "isms" are not just opinions, they are unequal material/political conditions. Once you understand that, it's pretty easy to tell that these things can't be compared.
