How's everyone feel about the apparent creeping of militia types from anti-government "extremists" to guys who hang out with cops at their special events and occasionally get to help out (oh boy!) with arrests?

A chunk:
A new study by researchers at Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Michigan suggests that the most effective anti-hate tactic may be what amounts to a nuclear option: identifying and shutting down the spaces where hateful speech occurs, rather than targeting bad actors individually or in groups.The researchers analyzed 100 million posts originating on two forums on Reddit, the hugely popular online message board. The forums, r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown, were among several that Reddit administrators banned in 2015 as part of a sitewide crackdown on poisonous behavior. (In case the names weren’t a tipoff, fatpeoplehate was devoted to photos that mocked overweight people, and CoonTown was filled with racist bile.)Researchers generated a list of hateful terms used on the two forums, and tracked the use of those terms across Reddit. They also compared the activity of users who posted hateful terms before the bans with those users’ activity after, to determine whether they had infiltrated other Reddit forums.The goal was to figure out what happened when these toxic communities were shut down. Did the amount of hateful language on Reddit decrease? Did users of hateful forums migrate to other parts of the site? Did any of them change their behavior as a result of the bans?The study found that, to a large extent, the bans worked. Some users who had posted offensive material on the forums that were shut down stopped using Reddit entirely. Of those who continued to use the site, many migrated to other forums, but they did not bring significant amounts of toxic speech with them, and the forums they moved to did not become more hateful as a result of their presence. Over all, the users who stayed on Reddit after the bans took effect decreased their use of hate speech by more than 80 percent.

k i'll bite. so what's the real world implementation of this?
reddit is, like, society, man.
bans are removal from society. we already have that in place, jails.
mods enact the bans, they have the power to ban users. so in the real world they would be cops and/or judges.
control + f doesn't work in the real world but we have something called profiling. i guess the idea is to grant the police the legal right to seek out speech they deem threatening. tbf they already do this with what's in place now.
so let's look at this solution. we are going to fight hate speech by empowering an already racist and abusive justice system with the legal right to lock people away for saying things it declares hate speech.
combine this with our wonderful Patriot Act anti-terror ways and the current administration and this would be like giving a loaded gun to a toddler.
