    Conservative ideology and radicalization generally also tends to be built out of a persecution complex, so I’m not sure if that will have the intended result.

    They already believe, and behave, as if they’re being persecuted, even when they’re not. We’re already seeing the results of their mental illness. Might as well actually help the rest of society by making them see what it actually looks like.

      one problem with that. when ever something like this happens and they face consequences they just avoid, deflect and distract.

      the moment it occurs they will just make the world’s biggest outcry that draw attention away while they do something criminally horrible to the people making them face consequences and get away with it as no one is paying attention…
