You make a good point, I’m sorry to generalize.

That's what happens when your ilk leaned far out the Overton window and did not listen to the repeated warnings to leave the kids alone.

Wanna play at being a radical without popular support? Don't see the necessity to police the mentally ill and moderate the extremists in your group? Well, FAFO is all the rest of society can say.

This is a thing that has never happened.

Concern for children's safety should be thrown towards the Catholic Church [0], and arguably even more towards various Protestant churches [1], which have remained in the midst of a decades-long rampant unchecked child sexual abuse crisis.

I suppose this could be rage bait, but would you justify the violence that the poster is afraid of also if someone is “ilk” of the other side of the aisle? E.g. white nationalist types?

Does being “extreme” justify extra-judicial violence?

> justify the violence

"If you make reasonable discourse impossible, then unreasonable discourse becomes inevitable."

What do you stand to gain in running defence for the trans radicals on the fringe? They hold extremely unpopular views. If it comes to them being violently suppressed by the state, they will have no one from the out-group and not even the moderates from the in-group coming to aid, and will have only themselves to blame for this. If you do not see it this way, then chances are you are in an echo chamber and are prevented from perceiving reality correctly.
