We already have "pre-crime" crimes. If you threaten somebody that is a crime. As is preparing, e.g., a terrorist attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offences_Against_the_Person_Act_1861#Threats_to_kill …

Anyway I thought you were arguing that some people are inherently bad... if not then forget what I said and we agree that people are generally OK as a default. Pre-judging people as lost causes seems more inline with the thought crimes line of argument you brought up IMHO.

I'm not prejudging that all people are bad, I'm just saying that not everyone is equal in capacity and not everyone wants to or can be involved in their communities or engage in direct democracy. But that's me, we're all speaking subjectively

Yup, I'll go with that. It's in the same ballpark but not the same game. I support the termination of foetuses with chromosomal disorders if thats what the mother wants. Thats a form of eugenics. The Holocaust did a lot to hold back rational discussion abt these sensitive topics.

But this, again, is my point - its not b&w, its all on a spectrum. Somewhere there is an action in the grey area that tips the balance one way or the other, because it is ultimately all shades of grey & failing to acknowledge that is what creates rather than resolves division.

What a profound, great idea! Ok let’s start. I’m on the side that believes people who think that all opposing ideas deserve equal treatment should be launched into space without oxygen. Now let’s find the location on the spectrum!

No, you are clearly someone on the side of deliberately misinterpreting the point for the purposes of self-congratulatory moral outrage. I havent said that opposing ideas deserve equal treatment, I said that people at both ends are still humans.

Nobody claimed anybody else was not a human.
