The alternative is to give voice to an almost-militant group of bullies bent on oppressing opinions of people whe don't think like them.

- danharaj 11y agoWhat does "almost-militant" mean?
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoIt sounds like it means "I feel threatened by these people's views even though they've shown no interest in physically acting on them." Which is kind of ironic, given the context.
