Oh. So were you not being hilariously ironic downthread when you asserted that being on the far right in the UK means literally setting fire to babies in the streets? I naturally assumed you were poking fun at the deranged moralistic hysteria of the social justice left there.

When their worldview is as openly racist and sexist and homohating and anti-immigrant and just plain full of shit in general as that, giving them any pageviews is itself a political statement unless it’s specifically for the purpose of documenting their shitfulledness. That’s why people reblogging luridly assholish content tend to use screencaps instead of links.

The US does seem to do everything to extremes. I am on the far right of the UK political spectrum, which places me awkwardly in the mushy centre-right of the US one, so I have no problem with either gay ponies or people who are opposed to gay ponies. I do think hate is a dangerous problem everywhere, though. I’ve never been to America so I can’t say whether it’s worse than the rest of the world, but I suspect it only appears so to you because of media saturation. If everywhere else got the same level of minute and detailed coverage that the US does, you’d realise your country is not worse than elsewhere - that’s my guess.
 
Anyway, this image wasn’t intended to spark such conversations, or to make anyone irate.

That is a dramatic exaggeration and that you’re looking at the small percentage of extremists on either side, which is making you think that it’s the majority by the shear amount of it being spewed out (a vocal minority vacuum effect), but you’re entitled to your opinions on the subject matter. Other countries have similar problems with hatemongers (as you have put it), just look at the problems that the rest of the world is facing. There is a spectacular amount of hate-mongering in other countries that equally matches that of the US. The entire world is equally shitty, and you will find hatred, racism and bigotry no matter where you go. If you wish to discuss this further, I would recommend the forums, it’s better for these sorts of conversations. I would probably continue if you did, when I had the time to reply to it. If you don’t feel like you wish to talk about it further, all power to you, I will not fault you for wanting to not talk about a subject such as this. Cheers.

I mean, sure. It just irks that a lot of people online are “I dunno, I live in the US and THE GAYS are forced on us everywhere and EVERYONE is OK with it and there’s absolutely no one that’s homophobic in ’MURRICA, some of us are just tired of all the media push is all”.
 
When, no, a lot of americans are just a half-step (and logotype swap) behind the “comically” insane hatemongers you see on Memri TV or FOX NEWS stock footage of islamic protesters.

I hate to break it to you, but a fair portion of the World’s population is both retarded and locked in a state of constant hate.
 
Fixed that for you. Stupidity isn’t unique to the states!
