Sounds like you're projecting your experience from a space of limited heuristics. I've never once in my entire life heard someone wish gay people were dead.
I think you may want to surround yourself by better people. I think I'd be hard pressed to find anyone like that where I live.
The best part is if you look at the table below it, it increases for the next two years before COVID.
Stats can is like the worst org for posting cherry picked segments of info lol
Source? That's news to me
The report by the actual department responsible for it. They're definitely not level nor down, other than COVID blips which affect all stats everywhere for almost everything... Stats can often underreports:

Neat summary and comparison of the trend:
I clearly missed something, who is doing that?
I wish I could find it, but I can't remember which research paper I came across it for; however there is a routine survey and report that measures how Americans feel about core values over time with no changes in the questions, and what it's shown is that conservatives have moved a little bit more right of centre on most issues, but that liberals have moved almost entirely to the far left.
The thing is, the whole point of liberalism is to consistently move the needle of progress. So it baffles me people fail to realize that today's "normal" leftist ideologies a decade ago were those people you're mentioning. But to someone who is still fighting those ideals and hasn't changed their stance at all, they are still radical ideals.
Im Canadian, I don't consider free healthcare radically left, or left at all really. There needs to exist some social supports, and healthcare is the bare minimum. We don't go far enough here.
I see a radical as someone who uses extreme language, proposes violent actions toward instituting their ideals, or condones or excuses physical violence on others because of their ideals. Even using cancel culture, or ban culture are ultimately just attacks on freedom of expression to me and would be considered radical by this definition.
I titled it appropriately
Here in Canada they burned churches.
Also, leftist catch and release policy in Canada results in people with dozens of offences immediately put back on the street, and this has resulted in many murders, sexual assaults, continued violent crime by routine offenders. The weak on crime stance has resulted in massive crime increases here. Albeit not a political thing for the people doing the crimes, but a symptom of the policies.
Also, I think everyone is pro-Luigi if that's the crime you're talking about. Common ground for all
The rights I have today were gained through war, not through unfettered chaos.
No one rioted in the streets burning down buildings and looting them to give me my rights. My rights were given to me through wars that were fought. Organized, state in state violence, or organized state vs rebellion open conflict. The distinction is quite important.
Fair point on the TikTok thing. I guess I'm struggling with understanding why in any circumstance it would be good for an adult.
Like okay, to protect kids is the clear first order effect, but the second order effect is exposing adults to identity theft.
Third, real person tracing and tracking.
Government control over what individual people can and can't see.
I know I'm pushing that pretty rapidly to a 4/5th degree effect, but that's slippery slope I'm considering so you see my headspace.
I mean with ID verification, you can tie real life names to IP address easily, and then nmap a route to it to find the location. Pretty basic stuff and you can now stalk an adult, or worse, a child.
You've got some problems dude. Get help... sweating and getting emotionally charged on a forum thread isn't healthy or normal.
