GOOD JOB GINA!
I 100% agree that such hate toward people based on their political views is unhealthy! I love your example of concentration camps as an extreme of that path! I may not agree with other rightwing beliefs like antilgbtq or ice, but you nailed this and it totally trandscends political leaning. Lemmy is an example of the Left side where such hate is fostered and reinforced. You can see it in the comments and the feedback. There are also Right areas fostering just as much hate the opposite direction.
As you hint, that becomes dangerous to a minority when the majority has too much power. I bet many on Lemmy would have no qualms about throwing all righties in camps and removing their power to affect anything. I bet many righties feel the same toward lefties. Who knows, with such hate so acceptable, how far a party with total power could go.
I watched mandalorian up until you left because I need a strong female protagonist to identify with and love the confident aura of power you bring.
Keep being yourself! Let the haters just make you stronger. And 100% that 'hate is acceptable instead of respect' is noteworthy and something to fix about this world. At least not all people are disrespctful :) and a few real connections are worth more than all the no-ones passing by.
Watching Scorched Earth today and can't wait to see what you make next!
Sorry, I just disagree. When you become a public figure you represent the company, and what you say reflects on them.
I'm a civil servant for a small municipality, and if I posted this stuff, I'd be called into HR right away. If I was the lead on a show, I'd expect far stricter rules.

What happens when someone's political views are hateful?
