      With all the insults and verbal harassment I received lately talking about this topic, I feel called into question.

      I politely disagree, violence against a minority is never justified.

      Xenophobia, homophobia, racism are complex phenomena which, in my opinion, can't be issued by violently assaulting "wrong-thinkers" (a.k.a. "punching nazis"). Most of the time, these people are marginalized, living at the edge of society, thus developing this kind of resentment.

         In my time on this earth, @gabriele is right

         The genocidal group are almost non existent, where as those seriously scary types, with the tattoos, and copies of mein kampf think the final solution is to "leave us the fuck alone"

         But for anyone who has traveled, bigotry is everywhere, wherever there are people who are oppressed, or marginalised, there is a pressure to blanket blame another group. We see it to extreme in Africa and the Sub Continent...

            At the same time, most people are reasonable. Most people are hospitable and happy to share their experiences, regardless of your colour, creed, or sexuality.

            I believe that the push towards a binary belief system as originally promoted by George Dubyah following 9/11 is used to divide the population, and the "anyone who doesn't agree with everything I believe is a Nazi" is the narrative being used to divide reasonable people like us
