If I walked into my office tomorrow and told people that I think women aren't humans, abused some racial minorities, my livelihood would be affected because of my socio-political views.

And I'm okay with that.

No, that's not okay.

I very much disagree with the KKK, but I believe in a society where they have the right to think whatever they want about non-white people, without getting harmed.

Oh really? You'd rather live in a society that gives discrimination a free pass?

False dichotomy.

"Not given death threats" != "Giving a free pass".

If you want to kill people who you disagree with, are you any better than them?
