> Having a place where people tolerate your toxicity is not a legal right
That is true, and also it is not what I argue for.
> If people are addicted to being toxic, they will have to accept the consequences of others' reactions.
Obviously, my problem is that I do not trust this use of toxic.
What I see is contempt for Trump supporters and in general for less mainstream opinion. What I see are journalist that blur the line between what their job should be and explicit political activism with call to actions.
You know what it is that I consider toxic? Actually claiming that a whole section of a demographic is toxic, or too stupid, or just wants to see the world burn.
I have my experience with this, as an Italian I still cannot understand why people voted Berlusconi, yet even worse than another Berlosconi would be being trendy to think "we know better than them, their opinion is second class".
The disconnect here is that you are either ignoring what goes on in these forums or actually don't know.
They are a constant barrage of proganda with a steady stream of new people to hate and immediate bans for anyone who questions if something isn't right or if people are going too far. There is a reason that there is now far more right wing terrorism in the west than from any other group. If you think this is just about 'political opinions' then you are misinformed or severely downplaying the reality of what is going on.
And once again, this is just a forum that isn't going to be linked to internally as much. It wasn't even banned. Why would Reddit activly promote a forum like this? They should have done it a long time ago.

My claim is exactly that the situation is as bad as it is exactly for this reason! You can argue this way with everything, if you let a problem fester enough it become easier and easier to claim there is no solution.

On the other hand Antifa, who routinely attack minorities and passerby, is often heralded as the defender of justice.
The difference in banning policies for the left and the right is obvious and with non trivial effects.
Honestly I am more worried about how mainstream media is fueling this point of view and turning a blind eye to people calling for political violence.
I do not think I will be able to better communicate my point. There are many factor at play and I must admit that I am not good enough to adequately order them into a coherent argument with enough evidences.
On this topic I rather trust Tim Pool, he is a journalist that often cover this kind of topics.
That is true, and also it is not what I argue for.
