Unfortunately you’re right. This plugin triggers on daily mail which should start the crazies off pretty sharpish.

I have heard a lot of bad things about Daily Mail but the fact that you are describing people who have a different worldivew than you as "crazy" is very problematic.

  Go read the comments on the articles and make your own judgement. Here’s a starter https://m.imgur.com/80iDatZ https://m.imgur.com/80iDatZ DM comments section is the cesspit of humanity.

    Obviously suggesting that people be murdered is completely out of line. However I have seen that type of comment made by both the left and the right. I still think you are mainly identifying that people have a very different worldview and devaluing them mostly because of that. Comments that are completely out of line are just reinforcing an existing hatred of this other group.

      That’s a relatively mild example of what goes on. The problem is that DM bait extremist views to bolster their own readership. This isn’t an interest specified readership but a relatively hardcore propaganda machine. Check the backers as well.

      There's a point where bending over backwards for "world views" crosses the line. Where that might be is hard to say, but Im going to venture that advocating (mass) murder is definitely on the wrong side of things. There is such a thing as a wrong opinion.

      Oh I totally agree there as well. Any anonymous or semi anonymous public opinion seems to being the extreme views. But they aren’t a news provider. The entire of Twitter is an opinion piece.
