> What other bizarre opinions, internal or external, would they have? From experience: When your government spies on you and locks folks up without due process

> What other bizarre opinions, internal or external, would they have? From experience: When your government spies on you and locks folks up without due process, this is good because it keeps the children safe. And a host of other convictions that are so toxic I cannot say them online without feeling dirty. These are the kind of people that say "think of the children" without irony, that view the world in purely adversarial terms and do their best to hate as many things as they can. They live to make everyone around them miserable. I have seen this repeatedly and only from this kind of person. I am glad I don't have them around me anymore, but sad that other people might. > I don't think that I could trust them with literally anything. It being the case that these are the purest of bad faith actors, you can at least trust them to ruin whatever they touch. It's something :)

FWIW, I am against dragnet surveillance, in favor of due process, doubt I've ever said "think of the children" without irony, don't view the world in adversarial terms, enjoy looking for the positive aspects of things other people malign, and don't want anyone to be miserable.
