If you refuse to take a side you're allowing racism to rise unabated. The fact there is authoritarianism within the left (which is not some monolithic entity) is not an excuse not to engage. "You can't be neutral on a moving train."
That section of the left are the ones that would, in an 'ideal' world, have me live my life behind bars because my saying that telling ten year old boys that feel like wearing dresses sometimes that they should go on hormone therapy and have their bits mutilated for life might possibly be horribly, horribly wrong. If either of these sides gets significant traction, it will be the removal of your human rights.
Everyone is jumping on the tolerance train to get their sick groups recognised and protected under hate speech laws.
'Pedosexuality' is incoming. And it will be a hate crime for you to say that it is sick and wrong. 'Love is love' after all.
'Oh they would never go that far, common sense says that...'
Its happening, slowly but surely, its happening.
One of my biggest fears at the moment is ending up a prisoner due to expressing my own opinions
A lot of what I have said here, if I said it on Twitter under my real name, is already something I could be summoned to court over.
The rules on what it is and isn't legal to say are getting narrower by the year and it is the hard Left spearheading that stereotypically fascist ideology. One day soon it will be one of your opinions that becomes illegal. Remember that 'they' don't actually care about the rights of minorities or LBGT etc. They care about using hate speech as a way to expand into other areas, illegal opinions. It happens very slowly so that the frogs don't realise they are being boiled alive.
Someone drew a small picture of a pig in the snow in Germany this past week, it happened to be near enough to a refugee camp, they are putting a lot of time and effort into finding the person that did it and charging them. I don't endorse what they did, but still.

I see people throwing around the term 'Hate Criminal' these days. Its really freaky. Hatred is a state of mind, a thought. Thought criminals? Eventually it will just be any statement that contradicts the narrative. Anything at all that they dislike. Its the Stalinist 'You find me the man, I'll find you the crime' (Guilty because we will find any reason to charge them if we don't like them) system rearing its head again. It has happened before and it will happen again.
Stalin got away with the Genocide of 20 million Ukranians and countless thousands more in his Gulags for committing thought crimes against his regime. Some of the Ukranians were trading among themselves (they were already undernourished and desperate) rather than allowing the state to have full control over their farmland and goods. He removed all of their food, reserves, farming equipment, money, everything and many resorted to cannibalism as 20 million died whilst they guarded and enforced the borders to make sure that none of them could escape to find food elsewhere.
But you are still allowed to fly his flag, it isn't a 'hate symbol' - They still struggle to get it recognised as a Genocide, because if the world did recognise that as one of the worst genocides in modern history, they might learn something from the mistakes made there about not letting thoughtcrime ever be a part of society.
