[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3127898, member: 688"] The root of the incivility does not appear to be the vileness of the left. There is something that is at the root of that vileness and is likewise an emergent cause for vileness in other groups. Fragmentation into social media hate groups is giving rise to a mob mentality. This is a serious problem on several levels. In a few cases it has led to actual attacks. The threat of massive condemnation, the threat of in-person shout downs/restaurarant expulsions etc and the possibility of real world physical harm or financial harm are causing people to self-censor. It used to be limited to college campuses but now it appears to be metastasizing via social media. Free speech and freedom of expression is under mob attack. "Who cares about your facts? We are righteous!". [/QUOTE]
