    Yes, but here’s the thing. There’s no way to know if someone is ignorant or abusing your empathy about their potential ignorance. So, you have to treat both those who are ignorant and those who are malicious based on their actions, which are dangerous.

    It’s like how 4chan was the rebirth of nazis, when openly people joke about being a Nazi, being a Nazi is no longer a dangerous thing to be. And that allows for nazis to come back.
