    Demonizing the people you are trying to reach is a really, really bad way to make positive change in the world.

It's also an ineffective way to convince people.

organicAnt I highly recommend reading that, and looking into the Backfire Effect. You can't change people's minds with evidence they've done terrible things. Their subconscious simply won't accept it.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm not saying it's not the 'right way,' I'm not saying you can't use your free speech to post what you want. I'm simply saying: studies show your method doesn't work.
