[Drama] Three Times A Lady: For the third time in a month, GamerGhazi moderator IrbyTremor advocates violence. This time over a successful, democratic Brexit vote. These are the people who call GamerGate violent reactionaries.

One of their posters says(I'd post there, but I don't remember if I was banned or not, plus there's more people to discuss it here):

Re-education > violence

How would you re-educate people without violence? There are two ways I can think of to interpret this statement. Your first plan might be to re-educate the existing people. How do you plan to force this education on them? You will, given resistance, be forced to employ violence to get them to do what you want. How effective would re-education be, especially under duress? After all, once you're done with the educatin', you'd still need to enforce your new rule, under threats of violence, otherwise people would be free to disregard it. This is the first common liberal claim I see, that you can just "re-educate" conservatism away.

Now the second interpretation is that these people are too far gone, so you must engineer society to make them extinct. Marginalize them, take their kids away and educate them yourself, etc. I see this happening already, so it seems like a tactic that is already put in play. However, the more overt this becomes the more likely it is to create insular communities of conservatives, who have their own cultural norms, preach their religion, do education within their community, and the only time you interact with one is when he tugs on his vest with the words "Allahu Akbar" er "Make America Great Again".
