You have more faith in your own virtue and right to rule over others than I do. I prefer to live as much as possible letting others live as they choose and being responsible for myself. QAnon isn't really much of a problem in the real world -- nobody is burning down cities and rioting because of it.

I never claimed any such personal faith or right, and that is a disingenuous reading of my comment. The chip on your shoulder is noted, albeit not compelling.

Hm... understate the threat of right-wing extremists, overstate the threat of left-wing activists.

Where have I seen that a million times before?

It is a fair reading. You are advocating the control of speech and online freedom of others based on your own personal beliefs. Any way you cut it, you can not advocate such things without believing your views on the world are superior enough to justify those illiberal desires.

I just stated the facts. There are riots and violence in the streets of America right now. I'm not saying it's rampant, but it DOES exist. You can't point to the same to justify your fears about qanon and their incoherent ramblings.

As for the chip on my shoulder, i've tried to keep this civil even though I do strongly disagree with your desire to suppress the speech of your political foes.
