The problem is that a lot of miscreants hide behind the label "conservative voice". Like people who spread hate, misinformation and conspiracy theories online. We need to differentiate between these fake "conservative voices" and real conservatives. Pretty sure people in the second category are not being targeted.

The label of "hate" very often does get slapped on real conservative voices. Supporting sex-segregated sports is considered hate speech by many, for instance. If your label of "hate" encompasses typical conservative view, then it's just a shallow attempt to deflect from the fact that conservative views are indeed being suppressed.

No true conservative, eh?

I implore you (all) to consider this angle when complaining about "left" boogeymen. Do the fixie-riding anarchists represent the left? Do the alt-right racist and misanthropic school shooters represent the right? What of each side encourages these extremities? Further, which ones do commit societal (psychological, economic, etc.) damage?

I think psychological damage can be blamed on all degrees of the spectrum, both sides.
