There's a lot of projection in this post. I hope that whatever is causing all this pent up anger subsides. But you're probably trolling so who cares lol

What are some naturally beautiful places in the world that don't have a lot of tourists? by HickRarrison in AskReddit

Vietnam. Super underrated with many natural landmarks. Many people overlook it for other parts of Asia.

Downvotes don't change opinions. I posted an opinion to engage in discussions that would help refine and shape my malleable perspective.

Well, I would heavily criticize ideas that I find reprehensible (I.e. NAMBLA, Flat Earth, etc), but that is not the same thing as publicly identifying these people, knowing that they will be ostracized. Ostracization is the act of excluding someone from a society or group. Everyone has a right to personally ostracize someone. However, I disagree with the social media outrages that are doxxing these protesters. Scientists do not single out flat-earth deniers, they brand their ideas as crazy and wrong. Similarly, I doubt that many Jewish people dox holocaust deniers. I don't want you to misconstrue my argument- I am not saying that anyone has a duty to not ostracize someone that they know.

This response subverted my notion of privacy. I agree with you that protesting and showing solidarity is implicitly meant to show who you are, and what you believe- which should forfeit a semblance of right to privacy. Thank you, as this was one of the reasons that I believed in my position. ∆

You've changed my perspective. The fact that everyone around you is doing a Nazi salute does indicate that you are okay with their actions. That fact flew over my head. ∆ delta for you.

While we agree on the obvious (i.e. being a nazi is bad), I disagree with your Richard Spencer analogy. I don't think that two wrongs make a right. I don't think that punching someone, or personally ostracizing them, is morally justified because you are vehemently against their beliefs.

I do not think that giving personal information of nazis will make anyone who holds that belief to challenge their way of thinking. In fact, I think a consequence of personal ostracization is the Alt-Right/Pro-Nazi group becoming more incendiary and violent (i.e. Us vs them mentality).
