Interesting point. I fear you're too optimistic, but it does seem as though currently the groups with the dominant hate-mongering ideology seem like imports from meatspace instead of homegrown. The anti-Bonsai Kitten activists are a closer call, but they've been as about as effective as Democrats arguing for a tax hike. -Declan
