Okay but what if I'm hearing people around me actively talk about exterminating me and rounding people like me up into camps?

There's a pretty clear line between calling out extremism and making partisan politics a lifestyle.

You knew that, which is why you chose that example.

If the line's that clear, show me where it is.

Sure, at the taking of life or reduction of freedom based on immutable aspects of personhood determined at birth and/or without due process.

So I agree on the first part.

Explain what the fuck "due process" means to you? Because to me it sounds kinda sick. (Edit: Sick as in perverse, vile, abominable)

Buddy, at some point you're going to need to get yourself a basic understanding of civics.

I think I have a pretty advanced understanding and find what I assume to be your understanding offensive as fuck, for reasons I'm willing to lay out here, but I could be wrong about what you mean when you say that, and I don't want to talk shit on an imaginary dumbass at you. If that makes any sense.

So I asked for clarification.
