> This does not fall into the fallacy aspect as it is already happening, groups are already being exploited for ulterior motives to control thought. Part of having a background in security research leads one to detect vulnerabilities. This is a gaping vulnerability.

Part of being a minority is being afraid to walk in the streets because you don't know what kind of media a random person has been consuming [1]. Examples like [1] are many and will only become more frequent as some people succumb to hate and others exploit them.

> Let us be clear that inciting violence is criminal and not considered protected speech.

Of course it is, but why won't anyone think of the children, wink wink, nudge nudge. If only there was some hero to save us all from those monsters!

That line of speech is frequent in certain circles and a certain class has been hearing this on repeat for a few years now.

> Less people are dying today than have historically died from hateful conduct. You cannot crush hate out of a society with censorship.

I am not keen on crushing anyone, I am keen on continuing living. Being visibly trans in a backwards country with crazy people is terrifying. I do not recommend.

> Driving hateful behavior underground only emboldens the extremists. Only through education and the ability for an individual to observe how consensus genuinely rejects their hate can you change such attitudes.

What more consensus from broader society does one need than literally telling them that their speech and actions are harmful and they need to stop?

> you are appealing to extremes when you take into account statistics and history.

The funny thing when you think about statistics is that those events that people conveniently aggregate to cutesy little numbers are happening to real people with real friends and families, with their own dreams and aspirations.

For you I am just a statistic, a tiny minority that you can look from afar. But for me, it's my life.
