If it wasn't for insane ideas they'd have to say the cops were maybe not wildly in the wrong here so insanity it is!
Yep.
A lot of people have a totally black and white view of the world, and they will never admit that, occasionally, the group they hate isn't totally in the wrong. It's kinda sad actually.

I'd like to think it's just because online skews young. I remember (with some shame) my stupid teenage anarchist days. Though I do worry that if I had, as so many do nowadays, ensconced myself only in views with which I agreed, maybe I wouldn't have grown out of it. The more smart people you meet, disagree with and learn from, well, the bigger and more interesting your world becomes.
I love the idea of Lemmy but goddamn, a good chunk of our userbase need to grow up and I'm not sure they ever will.
