    Ehhh… depends. I find it extreme to be OK with certain demographics existing. Like Nazis. Nazis shouldn’t exist, because they should be extinct.

    Wanting absolutely despicable people to hurt is and should be a natural emotional response to learning of their existence. The real question as to whether it’s OK is, how are despicable people defined and identified?

      I meant demographics like POC or LGBTQ, aspects people cannot change about themselves. Being a fascist is a choice.

      To be somewhat pedantic, “Nazi” is not a demographic identifier. Demographics almost always refers to more immutable features like age, sex, gender, orientation, race, nationality, citizenship, etc. Political ideology is a way to divide and count people, but it’s not something that is reliably counted as a demographic indicator.
