Since my views are in the minority and constantly disrespected by my generation, why should I value the same democracy that allows these people who disrespect me to have power over me? Why should I respect their views if they don't respect mine? Being in the minority in my generation absolutely made me much more hardline than I would have been otherwise.
Based on that argument, why should the rest of us accept your "right" to impose your views on us? You complain that the authorities won't pursue actions and actors you feel offend you, but seem OK with pursuing actions and actors that actually harm others you don't support. That's far beyond cynical; it's authoritarian.
How else am I supposed to react if my views are in the minority? Negotiating or talking it out won't work because if you give an inch, they take a mile. Individual voices don't matter, only the "studies".
