Let's also not forget that the hate is justified and amplified by their religion.
well the right thinks anything that makes you not exactly like them is a crime. Including thinking and having different opinions and ideas. Therefore they do adhere?
I think you might be leaning towards the paradox of intolerance and the recent solution for it which has become very popular.
This philosophical concept seems paradoxical but actually it's been solved via another philosophical concept. The social contract. Hate speech in almost every instance violates the social contract thus putting those who engage in it in violation of the social contract. It is not being intolerant at that juncture to remove that person from society. It is not intolerance but a violation of contractual obligation.
And funnily enough, these bigots nearly always hail from "the land of the free". Where "free" apparently only applies to their own ability to freely attack others and try restrict their freedom.
Did someone say agree with me or you're racist? I didn't see that anywhere. All I saw was calling a goose a goose, or in this case, a fascist party fascists.
Someone saying that right-wingers are hateful bigots is now somehow the same as declaring trans people universally pedophiles, refusing them medical treatment, and openly advocating for their extermination.
Yes, the conservatives in the "west" have started calling for a cleansing of Trans people out of society, but I guess Holocaust 2 electric boogaloo (and yes I am very consciously using that because the Turfs are now openly working together with Neo-Nazis to the aims of removing the "evil manipulative group trying to destroy our culture/race/sexual orientation") is equivalent to someone saying bad words bad that conservative group...
