These particular types of demagogues know exactly what psychological and sociological buttons to push to get the desired response. <br /><br />There is really no way there could be equitable legal restrictions on free speech; but J. Edgar Hoover's famous maxim was "Where there's smoke there's fire." Those who advocate illegal or immoral things are very probably engaging in them; exposure is what they fear the most.

I don't fully understand how people become radicalized, but I know it is a real thing, that social engineering works, at least on those who are already having a hard time, seeking some ideology to pour into the abyss of their souls. <br /><br />I worry the most about young men, because that combination of group belonging, perceived power, and perceived sexual prowess is a powerful biological cocktail. Also, men are less risk adverse, more reckless, more willing to engage in extreme violence. At the same time, men within our culture are being somewhat displaced,losing power, cast outside the group and seeking to figure out where they belong.<br /><br />I'm the last one to ever advocate restrictions on speech, even manospherian speech, but I so wish some of these demagogues would consider the potential impact of their words and take responsibility for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
