Only if. Usually this ends up being a total unstoppable assault on the persons, with no checks and balances, with no invovlement of justice system, by a large mob of people to have the right to destroy one's life, source of income, career, leading to spiraling depression and possibly suicide. This is just pure evil, cruel and despicable even if the person said something that would offend someone. Look, there is always someone that will be offended by your opinion. An ideology that wants diversity, but is afraid of following through with actual diversity of thought, silencing those that disagree is fundamentalist, unreasonable and unprincipled.
Calling someone a "Dick" (as in the article) does not deserve police response for hate speech.
- kubb 5y agoThat thing about a mob going out to destroy you for simply stating your opinion really seems like an exaggerated worry for me. It sounds scary, but it doesn't actually happen. You might lose your job for saying that for example women are less capable than men, but that's hardly a mob coming for you with pitchforks.
