I can't speak for Buddhists or SJWs, but IMO, true compassion doesn't shy away from causing pain when necessary. Ala surgery to save a life.

No doubt—also Zen has many examples of compassionate anger, but a society (like ours) that restricts speech will only lead to violence.

Are you familiar with the concept of "incitement"? Not ALL speech can be unrestricted. Calling for genocide is unacceptable, obviously.

Granted. The only mention of “genocide” by the dissident right refers to their own. It has some validity.

No. They are often casually making comments about ovens & gas chambers for their enemies. This is not protected speech.

Granted, but don’t take them literally. They do it mainly to trigger, but incitement to violence should not be tolerated.

I don't condone it, but I will certainly tolerate it because it's not incitement. How about you?

It is incitement, and it certainly does incite--such as the car plowing event in VA. Totally unacceptable.

I mean what is considered incitement should be determined in a court of law, right?

Only if we’re talking about actual prosecution. Otherwise you are required to exercise your own judgment in life.
