      In-group behavior is a biologically evolved evolutionary survival mechanism, and is only appalling and destructive when when the out-group is an IMAGINED threat or a scapegoat.

      When they’re ACTUALLY, OBJECTIVELY a dangerous problem, it’s a legitimate response.

      Furthermore, the out-group here CHOOSES to be an out-group. Being a vile, self-serving imbecile is not a “can’t do anything about it”, meaningless biological differentiation. It’s a conscious choice that reflects character.

          Uh huh… and are there any limits to your CLEARLY superior magnanimity?

          Would you pity a Nazi? A member of the KKK? How about a member of ICE?

          Because it seems to me right now your position is either “this isn’t big enough of a deal” or “there is NO level of heinous or dangerous ideology that is out of bounds”, and I reject both of those premises.
