    I fully believe that even the stuff that the left focuses on is actually encouraged by the right because it’s the most in your face contentious stuff

    Can you give a more specific example or two of some grating behavior or contentious claims/statements that demonstrate this problem?

    mixed with “don’t communicate with the right they’re Hitler’s all of them”

    While I don’t believe the right is all Hitlers, are we able to agree that at least some small subset of them and of their leadership have truly disturbing ideals and goals that could fairly be compared to those of Nazis?

    How do you address individuals who support those people - whether knowingly or in ignorance - without upsetting them, offending them, or putting them on the defensive?

      Who cares? How does that have anything to do with the elimination of profit motive in all social goods.
