    “there’s dozens of them”

    perhaps two dozen by my count!

    Seriously though I hate that these cunts are everywhere. Not many presently but I suspect it’s a drip / trickle / flow thing. They grab on to genuine social problems and distort them to match their own ends.

        I don’t necessarily disagree, but it can kinda fan the flames.

        Most extremist groups use persecution, real or imagined, as a recruitment tool. Opposing these minority, extremist groups makes the people on their fringes feel isolated and pushes them towards the group.

        An opposing protest isn’t going to change the minds that need to be changed.

        I’m not necessarily saying it’s the wrong thing to do, just that it’s not really clear cut.
