It's a self satisfying parade of their absolute moral superiority. It's a public circle jerk.

Read it again. You are NOT morally superior. The three people he was writing about are now spending 2, 2, and 3 years in prison because they mistakenly believe that they are absolutely morally superior and that that absolute moral superiority justifies anything that they do to anyone they see as inferior. This is the same mistake that every extremist makes.
From a recent ruling in the UK.
“I acknowledge that at least some of the concerns motivating you are, at least to some extent, shared by many,” he said.
“But the plain fact is that each of you has some time ago crossed the line from concerned campaigner to fanatic. You have appointed yourselves as the sole arbiters of what should be done about climate change, bound neither by the principles of democracy nor the rule of law.
“And your fanaticism makes you entirely heedless of the rights of your fellow citizens. You have taken it upon yourselves to decide that your fellow citizens must suffer disruption and harm, and how much disruption and harm they must suffer, simply so that you may parade your views.”
I think you're reading what's happening in this group through rose colored glasses. This community is highly toxic. It's so toxic that it was banned from Reddit. Reddit. That's toxic.
The reaction of the group when I made my first comment was very angry. I poked the hornet's nest. When I started asking questions multiple people told me to mind my own business and walk away. That's highly toxic. Protect the scho bunker at all costs and all.
I've grown borded of this discussion. I got a couple of good answers from people who were hoping that it would make me go away and stop asking questions but they then reverted to personal attacks and amateur psychoanalysis.
I'll leave you to your hate, now. Have a good day.
Not worked up. No hurt feelings. You're projecting.
I saw the posts going by in All and saw that they were incredibly toxic. I read the info and saw that it was so toxic in fact that it had been banned by Reddit which is a fetid cesspool of toxicity so it made me curious. I'm just asking questions to try to understand why you can't simply walk away. It's the members of this community that are getting worked up and their feelings hurt because someone is questioning the group think.
Sorry...granted...SOME Americans believe that hate speech and guns make them the freest country in the world.
