Radical free speech is important and a cornerstone of the US. Yeah, you've got some real shitheads on voat but also a lot of decent people that just don't hold the previously approved PC opinions. The internet was way better before it began to coalesce into megacorps like google, fb, and reddit. Instead of defending free speech they caved to advertisers. The issue w/ that is someone is always pissed off by something and the smallest groups shout the loudest. Now we've got a situation that's gotten out of hand and even regular conservatives are targeted. Voat is basically a concentration camp for free speech online. They've rounded up all the "wrongthinkers" and sent them to one place.
Before reddit and that Mountain Dew (the hitler did nothing wrong naming contest) troll happened /pol/ was libertarian more or less believe it or not. The PC left is Frankenstein and Voat's their monster. Assholes were fewer and farther between online before they all got shipped to the same place.
When you start inventing shit like "micro aggressions" and telling everyone their racist nonstop... I could provide a thousand other examples. The left has even managed to bring back segregation on college campuses only this time they're called "safe spaces" and black only dorms.
The Radical Left and the Far Right are every bit as bad as each other and more alike than they are different. They both have a need to be authoritarian in order to stay in power. (Horseshoe Theory)
Reddit, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc. have no shortage of racists. They've just got the "right kind" in our weird double-standard culture.
I live in the EU, when it comes to Trump those that only watch TV and popular newspapers are either very anti Trump, or some do believe that he's the second coming of Hitler and like him because of that out of spite. Whereas those that read english boards or follow skeptics on youtube etc. seem to have a more positive or at least neutral opinion on him.
It's really funny to remind the former people that they were already convinced like a dozen times that Trump will end the world and start ww3 tomorrow, I like the self-reflective face they make when they for the first time question their constant state of hysteria.
I think it's inevitable, at least in europe. The refugee crisis is a financial burden but even if the economy will do well, the jews as far as I know were fairly well integrated into germany and did not drive trucks through christmas markets or did something like the rotherham child rape scandal. If tragedies like this repeat themselves they might be sufficient to trigger similar events.
A conspiracy theory of mine which I cannot prove, it's just something I consider plausible, is that this might be an intentional setup, maybe some people with power foresaw that continuously increasing inflation and national debt would eventually collapse western governments and they'd rather see scapegoat get the blame for that.
It worries me as well, I think it will be really ugly.
