Of course not, but there's a difference between disagreeing with which is the best recipe for a cheesecake, the best castle in France, or whether or not it's acceptable to invade your neighbouring countries, if the government should be following the law/constitution, or basic biology, etc.
Some opinions one disagrees with are very worth to be up in arms. I'd even say that people have a civic duty of being up in arms against certain egregious topics. Say if a politician says that they want to allow for 9 year olds to be married to adults; or a rich guy backing multiple politicians all over the world Sieg Heils on national television; or a politician that just got elected is asking for money for favours from companies; or there's talk of "other"ing significant swathes of the population.

- philwelch 2y agoSo if you think Gail Slater is a good pick for the DOJ’s antitrust division, that’s tantamount to pedophilia and Naziism? What did Gail Slater ever do?
- sofixa 2y agoNo, I think a guy doing a Nazi salute on TV, twice, at an official ceremony, that's tantamount to Nazism. And the fact that everyone who identifies with his side of the isle tries to deflect and excuse and explain how the Nazi salute he didn't wasn't actually a Nazi salute only helps with that. And frankly, anyone associated with Nazi salute guy and those who defend him... is associated with Nazis, which isn't a good thing. It reminds me of this sketch: https://youtu.be/zvgZtdmyKlI https://youtu.be/zvgZtdmyKlI
- philwelch 2y agoGail Slater did that? That’s crazy, man. But it says on Wikipedia that Gail Slater is a woman?
